We are chugging right along baby and today we have a truly awesome episode for ya featuring one of the hottest DJ/Producers in the game who goes by the name of @gudfellaofficial

Kyle is a wildly talented guy who's had an insane 365 days. We got it all in and had so much fun discussing his journey as a producer, soundcloud's role in his growth, collaborating with Tiesto, and what lies ahead in his near and distant future.

He might be young, but he's got a really genuine passion for music and you can tell he's here to have a blast and make an impact at the same time.

Much love Kyle and I can't wait to see you again soon!

SITB 226 features LA based DJ/Producer ON_1 and WOW does this episode take you on a ride.

I've known Forbes for a few years and it was so much fun getting his full story and hearing about his hard-earned journey to where he's at now.

He's on a righteous path that comes from a very genuine place of love and passion. Also he's hilarious and cracks me up.

Enjoy!

We are here today to get the full story of one of my favorite DJ/producers in the game Proppa.

A Chicago native, Proppa has been in the game for a minute and deserves all the praise this city and the industry can offer.

We had so much fun chopping it up and talking about his viewpoints on what it takes to really make it in this business. He's full of great advice and I learned so much from him during this episode.

We went deep but it still felt like it flew by!! Thanks so much for coming on my friend and I look forward to to seeing what the future holds for you.

It is officially 2024 and I hope everyone had a fantastic end to the year - 2023 was quite the year but we are kicking this year off with one of my favorite episodes to date.

224 features my dear friend Colton Bachar - many of you know Colton from his incredible work as a videographer but there is so much more to him that you will all hear about coming up.

We had such a great conversation chatting about his journey and I have an even deeper level of admiration and respect for him on so many different levels.

We have another special interview for you all today

SITB 223 features fellow podcaster and dance music reporter Olivia Mancuso!

I've known Olivia for a few years and I've always been impressed with her wide array of skills. From her days as a reporter, to her entrepreneurial pursuits, to interviewing some of the worlds biggest dance music acts at EDC Vegas and now her newest project called "Elevated Frequencies" - a podcast devoted to digging into the real lives of musicians.

It's always so much fun having another podcaster on because the conversation is so natural and engaging - this was a blast!

Thanks for coming on Olivia and I'm looking forward to coming on Elevated Frequencies soon!

Episode 222 features the incredibly talented DJ/Producer Ares Carter! This NYC native has built quite the name for himself since entering the music industry almost 10 years ago.

From his early days as the tour DJ for ILOVEMAKONNEN, to having a song in FIFA 22, to touring the world and playing festivals like Ultra and Electric Zoo, Ares has quite the story so far.

So glad we got to connect in person at ADE a few weeks ago before this interview - he's a really good guy and deserves everything coming his way.

It's been way too long but I'm so glad to be back doing what I love the most - talking about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness aka talking bullshit with my friends, peers and esteemed colleagues in the music industry.

You already know I had to bring back DJ Susan for his 3rd SITB but his 1st in person. He was in town before our show at Sound-Bar - which was the biggest yet by the way - and we chopped it up for an hour on what's been up with him this year, our plans for Hood Politics, backfilled with absolutely ridiculous conversation topics but what else do you expect.

So so happy to be here and we are going to keep up the pace on new episodes so make sure to stay tuned and get ready for a new style of SITB - I'm here to have fun and that's that

Enjoy!

Tech house is a subgenre of house music fusing elements of techno (rugged basslines) and house (harmonies/vocals) - Fisher, John Summit, Green Velvet, and Solardo are just a few examples of where the sound comes from, and where it is today.

During this session, featuring reps from several top Tech/House labels from the US, the conversation will focus on how to start a relationship with US labels, how to develop a fanbase, organize successful events, and grow profitable relationships with the US.

The main focus of the discussion will be built around how foreign labels/artists can break into the booming American Tech/House market.

Featuring:

Kaysin (DJ, Producer - A&R Repopulate Mars)

DJ Susan (DJ, Producer - Founder Hood Politics Records)

Carissa Szlosek (Artist Manager, Prodigy Artists)

Moderator: Sherm (DJ, Producer - A&R Hood Politics Records

I am so excited to share this episode because this was recorded LIVE with an audience in Chicago with my boy Kaysin.

Nick was in town for his debut headline Chicago show at Primary Nightclub and we've been trying to make this happen for a while now

We talked about some of his biggest tracks over the past 2 years including his Dillon Nathaniel collaborations which have recently been supported by Fisher, playing EDC Las Vegas, Repopulate Mars expansion with their second sub label North of Neptune and how it's been going as A&R for the number 1 selling tech house label on Beatport!

We also had a Q&A section from the audience at the end which was really fun and valuable as well.

Thanks so much for making the time to do this Kaysin! This is what I love to do.

Let's get into it right now so you can hear it for yourselves, this is episode 220 with Kaysin.

What up everyone!

Today is friday May 19th 2023 and this is episode 219. It has been a few months since the last episode but we are BACK and better than ever.

It is my honor to welcome back two special individuals who have now officially joined forces under their new moniker "HOTPRETTY" - Zooey Glass and Abigail are some SITB OG's and it was such a blast sitting down with them and talking about this new project.

You are going to want to listen to this one people - we talked about the past, present and future of the Chicago House music scene, launching "HOTPRETTY", event curation, music production styles and influences, overcoming performance anxiety, mental health and so much more.

I have known them for years - Zooey was on episode 039 and Abigail was 90!! They are some of my favorite people in and outside of music and I'm genuinely a huge fan. Cannot wait to see this next chapter unfold!
