In today’s episode, we're talking to the fashion-forward duo, RaeCola. Born and raised in the home of house music, Chicago, this DJ pair shared their journey into the music scene, from childhood clarinet to being on the road. RaeCola gave their thoughts on the energy exchange we experience at intimate shows and a look into their creative process. Like all of us, they faced the fears of being new at something. We discussed how to push past your own insecurities in order to create.

I had to ask how they chose their iconic outfits for each show. They shared their fashion influences and how they fully conceptualize their surroundings to pick the perfect fit. Whether it be the 50th anniversary of hip hop, their current city, or Fashion Week, RaeCola finds creative ways to incorporate their influences into their wear.

We spoke about how they connected instantly to the energy of Dirty Bird festivals. The events' priority of self-expression resonated with RaeCola, who wanted to find a part of the electronic music scene that could feel creative and be a conduit for connecting with others.

***FOUR MINDSET QUESTIONS I ASKED MYSELF TO BUILD A SIX-FIGURE BUSINESS, INCLUDING WORKING IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY***

In today’s episode, we explore the idea that making it in the music industry isn’t solely about your connections, resume, or the physical output of your work, but fundamentally about your mindset. We'll uncover how shifting your mentality can be the key to unlocking a world of opportunities within the music sector.

 We unravel the process of shifting into your dream career and debunk the myths surrounding career changes. We explore the psychological barriers and mindset obstacles that often hold us back from achieving our dreams and aspirations.

Using my personal journey in the music industry as a guide, I walk you through four pivotal mindset questions to aid you in accomplishing your goals. From a traditional path in journalism to running a six-figure business, my story serves as a testament to overcoming mental blockages and achieving success.

Throughout the episode, we chat about:

1. Addressing Logistical Roadblocks: Turning challenges into opportunities and breaking the confines of traditional requirements.
2. Viewing Failures as Lessons: Developing a fail-forward mentality and learning from our experiences.
3. Overcoming Scarcity Mindset: Building a mindset of abundance and investing in oneself.
4. Visualizing and Believing in the Unseen: Creating unique pathways and realizing unseen possibilities.

In this episode, I dive deep with the incredibly talented Josh Butler, a figure revered for his musical mastery. Fresh off seeing him perform at House Calls, our conversation unveils surprising insights, especially around his creative process.

Josh's humble approach to music creation will resonate with many; he often crafts his best tracks with just headphones and a laptop. His journey shatters the misconception that one needs high-end equipment to produce quality music. In reality, it's more about skill, passion, and creativity.

We also explore the origins of his own label, which bridges the gap between house music generations. With collaborations involving legends like Marshall Jefferson, Robert Owens, and Kerri Chandler, the label becomes a musical history lesson.

Finally, Josh emphasizes the importance of artists finding their unique sound. Drawing from a rich tapestry of influences - from early house to dub reggae and UK rave music - he exemplifies how an artist can mold diverse inspirations into a distinct style.

Join us as we debunk myths, celebrate the connective power of music, and encourage every aspiring artist to find their unique voice in the vast world of electronic music.

Many of us follow paths thinking they're right for us, only to find out they don't match our true passions. Flashmob's journey is a clear example, as he first chose a career in law but soon realized his heart was set on a different beat.

Flashmob sheds light on a critical aspect of life: the peril of living in cognitive dissonance. Many are trapped in jobs or situations that they believe they're "supposed" to be in. But what happens when this existence is not in sync with their true desires? The weight of such a life is evident.

However, Flashmob's story isn't just about finding a new path; it's about the courage to step off the beaten track. It's about recognizing that the hustle, often celebrated in today's world, can sometimes be a futile chase. Instead, Flashmob champions the concept of what we on the show call aligned action – working in tandem with one's core beliefs and desires. This doesn't just lead to success; it brings forth joy, purpose, and true fulfillment.

His candid discussion about the superficial nature of the industry is eye-opening. Where many see music as a means to fame or riches, Flashmob sees it as a tool for healing, sharing, and celebrating beauty. He refuses to wear a mask, prioritizing genuine connections over industry norms.

Join us as Flashmob delves deep into his transformation, highlighting that it's never too late to follow one's passion. His journey from the structured world of law to the fluid rhythms of music is a testament to the power of self-reflection and true alignment.

Tune in, and be inspired to ask yourself: Are you hustling, or are you taking actions aligned with your soul?

In a world pulsating to techno beats, Mari Lee has carved out a space that thrums to the darker melodies of screamo, emo, metalcore, and post-hardcore. Her love for these genres isn't just a fleeting obsession; it defines her distinctive dark techno style both in her solo performances and as half of the female power duo, Black Diamond.

A believer in authenticity and personality, Mari infuses her DJing with a spark of who she is. That spark also ignites her humorous TikTok videos, where she satirically commentates on social behaviors in clubs, poking fun at pretentious attitudes.

Mari is candid about her struggles with anxiety but also shares how DJing makes her feel truly alive. Her belief in the law of attraction and meditation guides her path, manifesting positivity and abundant opportunities.

Her philosophy is one of learning rather than jealousy, seeking growth from those who have walked the path before her. It's about harnessing energy, projecting positivity, and letting those dark techno beats resonate with something profound and real.

Join us for a conversation with Mari Lee, where music, mindfulness, and a touch of social satire blend into a rich tapestry of a DJ's life.

A native of Guam, Jia's journey began with his love for techno, leading him to DJing and eventually creating "6AM Disturbance." The name symbolized his double life, where weekdays were about his finance job, and weekends were a celebration of music.

His dedication brought him from San Diego to LA, opening doors to the music scene and eventually leading to the development of Guam's Electric Island Festival, an award-winning house and techno sensation. But 6AM is more than just festivals and events; it's about enriching lives through community, belonging, and creating opportunities for the next generation of artists.

Jia’s belief in what he calls an “invisible KPI” emphasizes that the energy and intention of an event’s creator directly influence the event itself. It must be real and genuine.

With new projects like ArtistMap, aimed at educating and guiding aspiring artists, 6AM continues to foster an inclusive community serving something greater than itself.
