In this episode, we talk to KC Wray, producer, DJ, and promoter, about house music history and culture. We discuss the origins of house music in Chicago, the rise of techno in Berlin, and the evolution of club culture in Europe vs the US.

He shares details about reviving The Warehouse venue in Chicago and his vision for creating an inclusive, community-oriented space. We also discuss his musical projects like the record labels BroBot, Kultur, and Shake Shop Records.

We analyze why house music did not break into the mainstream as quickly as hip hop, despite originating around the same time. KC talks about the commercialization of different genres and how mainstream promotion impacts artists.

Join us as we sit down with producer and performer COFRESI for an insightful conversation about his musical journey. COFRESI takes us through his origin story, from discovering his inner "pirate king" ancestry to lighting up stages with his unique live drumming and production.
