The music industry's trend cycle is moving faster than ever, but surviving for over a decade requires more than just bowing to the algorithm.

Host Olivia Mancuso sits down with iconic DJ and producer Valentino Khan (@ValentinoKhan)  to dissect his unique journey from making hip-hop beats on basic software to dominating the dance music scene with decade-defining hits like "Deep Down Low."

They dive deep into the reality of modern music consumption, discussing how bringing a hip-hop perspective into dance music helps simplify your production and why strong vocals are often the secret to a timeless track.

You’ll learn critical insights on navigating the "TikTok-ification" of the industry, what it really takes to perform for massive crowds at WWE's WrestleMania, and why investing your time into high-quality music videos and original skits beats getting lost in a sea of short-form content.

This episode is a masterclass on career longevity, proving that relentless adaptability and making art you genuinely think is cool is far more valuable than just chasing viral moments.
