My guest this week is New York producer and engineer Tony Seltzer. We spoke about Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and the legacy of David Lynch, Harriet the Spy, Little Figuitive, growing up loving metal and hip-hop, transitioning from drumming to producing, why he’s become well-known for the drums in his beats, his impact on underground rap, drifting into A&R, the creative process behind he and MIKE’s Pinball album series, his compilation album Hey Tony, and a handful of his greatest beats for artists like Wiki, WifiGawd, Key!, & more. Come fuck with us.
Pinball 2 is available wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen. Consider copping directly from MIKE's Bandcamp. Follow Tony Seltzer on Instagram and Twitter (@tonyseltzer) and follow Tony's Brooklyn-based studio, Noc Noc Studios, on Instagram (@nocnocstudios) to book a session with the man himself.
