The Philly Club King With DJ Sega

For Episode 72, Shannon sits down with one of the forefathers of
Philly Club Music. Meet DJ Sega. The producer and phenomenal DJ
has been blaring down sound systems around the world for more
than a decade with his hard-hitting high energy club anthems and
edits. And he’s truly a student of the game.


Sega’s passion for producing and Djing came at a rough time
period in his life. After the death of his grandmother, the
Philly native locked into production as a way to process and
mourn her loss . But after a few short years of toiling away his
musical production software, Sega created something special.


Combining the fundamental roots of Baltimore Club and Jersey
Club's rhythmic flare, Sega was one of the first producers to
craft the Philly Club sound, a fast and energetic genre that
rests at 140 BPM, sometimes soaring to 155 BPM.


Laden with samples of rock, hip-hop and everything else in
between, Sega’s infectious beats have had crowds rocking around
all the world and now, the producer has been building up a steady
following with his weekly DJ Twitch streams and helpful content
on producing, streaming and other music related topics.


Shannon spoke to the Philly legend about his early days DJing at
Philly's famed Jamz Entertainment Center, the emergence of Philly
Club, his time with Mad Decent and Sega finally sets the record
straight about what really happened between him and Diplo.
