Juanita's Mix 039 with SHYBOI @djshyboi

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. A deadpan absurdist interested in what makes people tick and the various factors that draw us all together.

Q. How long have you been a part of the NYC music scene?
A. I moved right outside of Queens when I was 13 and have been hovering around different spots as a spectator and accidental DJ since then. Sometimes front right, usually back left, and if we're both lucky, right behind the decks. 

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. It's a little bit of me, just for you.
