Electric company: T. Williams and Matt Langston

Leading up to the inaugural Mountain Oasis Electronic Music Summit, we’re running a series of Q+A interviews with the festival’s artists.

T. Williams house music DJ/producer:

Mountain Xpress: If you could collaborate with any other Mountain Oasis artist, who would it be and why?
T. Williams: Claude VonStroke, because I respect his production a lot.

Do you have anything special planned for your Mountain Oasis set? You may get to hear an exclusive track of mine that I’ve been working on during the tour.

Since it’s almost Halloween, do you have a favorite spooky song? It has to be Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”

T. Williams performs Sunday, 7:45 p.m. at Asheville Music Hall. More info here.

Matt Langston of The Jellyrox:

Do you have anything special planned for your set at the Emerald Lounge? Playing a lot of new songs, and we had a special run of stickers made just for this show that will be free.

Since it’s almost Halloween, do you have a favorite scary song? “Making Christmas” by Danny Elfman and the Citizens of Halloween Town. That song always gets me in a haunted mood.

What are you most looking forward to at Mountain Oasis? I’m looking forward to playing most of all, and Gary Numan second of all.

The Jellyrox performs Friday, 9-9:45 p.m. at The Emerald Lounge. More info here.
