Episode 2 of Base Camp Beta, in partnership with ABSOLUT Vodka, Boiler Room, and Saudi Aramco. We’re thrilled to have our very first guest, Cindy Li aka @cl_lit, on to talk about the spread of corporate influence in nominally “underground” music scenes, the need to #synergize with your fellow #brands, and get in touch with our inner Instagram influencer. We also dig in to Dat Oven’s “Jet Set” - a 1998 NY house record recreating all of the worst club conversations you’ve tried to get out of, and finally take down the trash heap that is Boiler Room’s pay-to-play bullshit.

Shawn’s astrology app said “Try not to talk shit today” when we recorded this and I think we mostly kept to it.
