Carolina-based Beket stopped in to perform 4 songs off their new record, Bad Form. Beket and I were on the brink of tracking this album together in late 2018, but we weren’t quite able to make it happen. I’m glad we didn’t, though. They ended up self producing and knocked the production out of the park. I was, however, lucky enough to mix the record and it’s one of my all time favorite projects. We talk about self producing, strategies for playing the right shows, and of course, the tone zone.
