Champ Fresnel on the pod this week — hailing from Australia, Charlie packed his bags and moved stateside to chase the American dream. We get into adjusting to life in California, making music outside of trends, and why Aussies seem to be so efficient at putting out quality music.

DJ Xboyfriend on the pod this week, dj/producer and curator of Cool Contest records. Anthony has been around the block and has carved a unique space for himself by hosting a label for the unique and weird underground house music. We get into the humble beginnings of the label, the grind of being in the scene, and the chaotic life of being a starving artist.

Justin aka $coe on the pod this week. Originally from Los Angeles, Justin is no stranger to a 303 or any underground genre with an acid synth. We get into his time in Brooklyn, how he survived clubbing in the freezing temperatures, and the sustainable way to create electronic music

Ryan Both AKA Pacific Groove on the pod this week. Ryan and I met at a networking event in DTLA a few months ago and we had a similar perspective on music so I wanted to get him on. Ryan was born and raised in OC and at the ripe age of 22, has a view on dance music and dance music culture that is far beyond his years. Ryan's sound could be techy with a bit of classic flavor sprinkled in. Was a refreshing convo, hope you guys enjoy this one

Bijan on the pod this week. If synth wave, post punk, and dark disco all had a baby its name would be Bijan. We get into his roots of making bass music, his transition into house music, and how his sound has evolved into the dark textures we know from Bijan today.

Enjoy my friends

Gianni Blanco on the pod this week. Had some audio issues for the first half. Apologies on that one. This was my first time actually sitting down and chatting with Gianni so it was fun getting to know him as a person as well as a dj. Gianni has made huge progress in a short amount of time and we get into his origin story and how he moved from open format to his 90s underground sound.
