Q&A with Subeena

It’s been a good run for genre-defying producer Subeena, from taking part in the Red Bull Music Academy, to co-running Immigrant (later Imminent) Records and getting a 12″ released on seminal label Planet Mu. Now Subeena is releasing the third record on her very own label, Opit, later this month. The four-track EP features two originals (and vocals from Subeena herself), along with some superb remixes from Ghosts on Tape and Egyptrixx.

Mixpak caught up with Subeena in London to ask about her new sound and how the label was working out. Press play on the preview and read the questions after the jump.
