Patrick Huang, aka DJ Phatrick, helped create and hosts the monthly Devil’s Pie party (Bay Area, L.A. and New York). He used to be the DJ for Native Guns and still regularly tours with Bambu. His day gig involves teaching music to middle and high school students in Los Angeles.
Phatty (seriously, they call him that) rolled down to the home studio to talk about the music tastes of teenagers, being the token Chinese DJ for Filipino rappers and…his summer song choices. Yup, we’re bringing the summer songs series to the podcasts (which is good because there won’t be a formal set of posts this year; too busy to coordinate!).
