    Christine Michelle Industry Interviews by Seattle House Mafia S02E08

    Christine Michelle was immersed in music from an early age. Raised by her mother, a professional pianist and composer, Christine played viola and sang in choirs before discovering Seattle's burgeoning rave scene in the '90s. Her passion for electronic music and dancing was crystallized at legendary events like Freak Night and Nocturnal Wonderland, and at iconic venues such as Vinylized, NFT, DV8, Noc Noc, and the Fenix Underground. In the summer of 2022, Christine dove headfirst into DJing, and her reputation as a selector has quickly grown. Driven by a desire to unite the dance music community, she founded Elevated Frequencies in March 2023. By October, she was producing ethereal, bass-heavy tracks designed to transcend dance floors. Whether collaborating on bespoke events, working on innovative music projects, or captivating crowds at Seattle's top night clubs, Christine’s rise has been both swift and impactful, with no end in sight.

    Josh Quest + AJ Sorbello, Industry Interviews by Seattle House Mafia S02E06

    After experiencing individual success in the '90s and 2000s as solo DJ/producers, Josh Quest and AJ Sorbello initially joined forces as the production team 'HeatSeakers' in 2010. However, as life's responsibilities grew, maintaining a consistent production schedule became increasingly challenging, leading HeatSeekers to part ways in 2012. Nevertheless, the inspiration persisted, and both continued their respective DJ/producer journeys as fixtures on local and international stages while consistently releasing music under various aliases on a multitude of labels. Fast forward to 2023: Josh and AJ reunited their production superpowers to form Hot Keys, recently releasing two consecutive melodic and percussive burners, with many more on deck. We were thrilled to sit down with this legendary duo and learn about their origin stories, studio process, and what lies ahead for Hot Keys. This episode is truly informative and enlightening, filled with music industry magic. Watch the interview on Youtube
