Seattle House Mafia
Season 4, Episode 4 — Industry Interviews by Seattle House Mafia
Seattle House Mafia Industry Interviews by Seattle House Mafia S04E04
Seattle House Mafia sits down with Sloane Motion, and this time the crew is in the hot seat.
This episode brings all three members of Seattle House Mafia together for a deep, unfiltered conversation about how three DJs with completely different backgrounds became a crew, a brand, and lifelong friends.
The trio traces their individual paths into electronic music: Phil's Seattle upbringing and first rave at 16, Paul's journey from UK happy hardcore tape packs to house music, and sangdo's route from Seoul to Honolulu to West Seattle's rave scene. They also share how they actually found each other, starting with a SoundCloud connection and a Global Dance Records release, and how pandemic-era beach sessions at Alki turned into the crew that exists today.
Listeners get a real look at how the Mafia builds a b2b2b set. No pre-planned track lists, just genre-based folders and an unspoken system for setting each other up rather than trying to outdo one another. They revisit some of their favorite recent gigs, including Flammable, Be My Guest and opening for global headliners.
There's a great detour into Seattle nightlife history with the story of Medusa (and how it eventually became Foundation), plus a candid discussion on identity, balancing DJing with full-time careers, and why none of them see it as a sacrifice.
The episode closes with a look at where the Seattle House Mafia brand is headed next, from expanding the interview series to production plans on the horizon.
