Video animation by: Big Flowers

Intro/Outro beat by: BLOODBLIXING

The Plug (0:51).

The Interview (2:08).

As soon as you here the iconic, “HEY TONY” tag, you know you’re about to hear an absolutely banging beat. With me today is Tony Seltzer, a Brooklyn-based producer who’s known for his catchy ear-grabbing beats that feature hard drums and booming bass.

Tony’s catalog casts a wide net, having worked with major-label artists, as well as artists on the cutting-edge of the indie scene. He's produced albums with the likes of WiFiGawd, Gabe ‘Nandez, and most recently, Wiki with 14K Figaro… one of the best albums of this past year.

In this episode, Tony gives us insight into the development of his signature sound, the inspiring story about how he made the leap to being a full-time producer as his career, and the making of his great recent collab records in Pangea and 14K Figaro.
