Azealia Banks Tells All

Lizard diva gives us the scoop on Qween Beat headquarters.

New Jersey based DJ/producer MikeQ has a lot to say on Twitter and Facebook. You would think the guy responsible for putting out so many cunty vogue house tracks would talk a mile a minute, but It's actually hard to get him to open up about his busy DJ life, Qween Beat, and his producer BFFs. After calling Mike and trying to get in touch with him for over a week, we realized he was on tour in Australia and decided to holler at his pet lizard, Azealia Banks. She gave us the 411 on what's been going on in his world and what it's like to live with ballroom's most wanted.

THUMP: Hi Azealia! What are you up to?
Well as usual I'm home in my habitat doing nothing. House-sitting. LOL.

Where did you come from? An egg? Petco?
LOL… The universe!

Where do you live now?
I'm based in NJ. Most likely where I will spend my life. In this cage.

How often do you see MikeQ?
I see that qween everyday unless he out touring or something.

What is he up to?
Well usually he's just on the computer working. He smokes a lot, sings, cleans, and vogues when nobody except me is around.

What is your favorite food?
Hmmmm, well I'm somewhere between little mice and crickets. I love them equally but the mice taste better. I've also recently tried banana and its PHAB!

What's the best phone convo you have ever heard MikeQ have?
He's always on the phone with DJ Angel X. They act really stupid on the phone but I cannot stand him.

Who's your favorite visitor that has come by the studio?
Well, that's a hard one so many people have visted like Sinjin Hawke, B.Ames, Divoli Svere, DJ Sliink, DJ Slow, Kingdom, Venus X, and recently Boiler Room… They've all been there and showed me love. Took photos without my consent but it's kewl, I might get famous one day.

Who is the most annoying person that comes over to your house?
MikeQ is annoying himself, that's enough. He poured cold water on me one day, and the next day he thought I forgot when I put attack mode on his ass. True tea.

Which song have you heard being played the most in your house?
Jay Z "Politics As Usual." Lots of Erykah Badu and Jill Scott and some classic stuff although I prefer a nasty beat.

What is your favorite song that MikeQ plays?
Anything Kelela lately. She soothes me.
