In this episode of The XLNT Show, Danny & Parker sit down with Seven Lions for a deep conversation on creativity, emotion, and the philosophy behind melodic bass music. Jeff opens up about his upcoming album Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars, his loyalty to FL Studio, and why subtle details matter more than overproduction.

They discuss:

• Why music feels spiritual and how emotion carries across time
• The vision behind Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars and keeping albums fully solo
• How Seven Lions approaches vocals, songwriting, and melodic structure
• Performing as an introvert, impostor syndrome, and building confidence on stage
• World-building, visual identity, and the role of Ophelia Records
• Melodic bass longevity vs trend-driven EDM
• Production workflow in FL Studio and adding depth through subtle textures
• Thoughts on AI in music and protecting the human element of art

New album: Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars — 12/12

Welcome to a new episode of The XLNT Show, where Danny and Parker sit down with producer, vocalist, and performer Whipped Cream for one of the most honest and inspiring conversations we’ve had on the channel.

Caroline walks us through her full journey: from growing up as a competitive figure skater, to a brutal ankle injury that changed everything, to discovering electronic music at a small festival stage and deciding to bet her entire future on making music. With no mentors, no local scene, and no roadmap, she moved back into her parents’ basement, taught herself Ableton from YouTube, and slowly built the Whipped Cream project from the ground up.

They discuss:

• How a serious figure skating injury pushed her toward a completely new life
• The tiny side-stage set at Sasquatch Festival that flipped a switch and made her decide, “I need to make music”
• Learning production in isolation on Vancouver Island, with no female producers around and no real industry connections
• Getting obsessed with Baaur, trap, and Jersey Club, and how chopping samples shaped her early sound
• Evolving from mid-tempo into techno, cinematic dance, and vocal-driven records while keeping everything authentic
• Discovering her singing voice in the studio, using lyrics from her notes app, and treating vocals like another instrument
• The reality of being a woman in EDM: assumptions about ghost production, image policing, and double standards
• Her philosophy on collaboration, credits, ghost producing, and why she doesn’t demonize help behind the scenes
• Designing full show concepts like “Someone You Can Count On,” building characters, stage design, and world-building
• Trying to balance big long-term vision with the practical need to “focus on what’s working” right now

The episode opens up into a larger conversation about identity, resilience, and longevity in dance music: why she refuses to be boxed in, how she handles criticism and rumors, and why her real goal is to impact people emotionally—on stage and in their headphones.

Welcome to a new edition of The XLNT Show: Bad Boys, where it is just Danny and Parker talking uncensored. No filters, no script, and no holding back.

In this episode, the guys break down one of the most interesting dynamics in EDM right now: the parallel rise of ISOxo and Knock2, and their first-ever festival, Nighthearts. Danny and Parker talk about how unexpected it was to see artists known for bass house and trap music program themselves as openers at their own festival, and how that decision alone says a lot about their understanding of audience momentum.

They discuss:

• How artists like ISOxo and Knock2 ended up sharing the stage with heavyweight co-headliners  Skrillex and Zedd
• Why Knock2’s track “dashstar*” feels like one of the last modern EDM classics with a true solo anthem identity
• The difference in how ISOxo and Knock2 are being positioned based on genre, sound, and fan reach
• The shift from progressive house domination to bass house and hybrid trap taking center stage
• The challenges new genres face in producing universally memorable EDM “classics”
• What makes a live festival debut stand out versus a traditional tour set

Danny also gets Parker to zoom out into the bigger picture: why duos and tight creative units matter so much in EDM today, and whether moving as a unified brand could end up being more powerful than going it alone.

Welcome to a new edition of The XLNT Show: Bad Boys, where it is just Danny and Parker talking uncensored. No filters, no script, and no holding back.

In this episode, the guys dive into one of the most overlooked conversations in the EDM scene right now: major artists taking ideas and drops from smaller producers without giving proper credit. Using the recent situation between Fred again and Liny as the centerpiece, Danny and Parker break down how a viral edit blurred the lines between inspiration and attribution, and why it struck such a nerve in the producer community.

They discuss:

• The timeline behind the Victory Lap edit and LYNY's original track
• Why credit matters for smaller artists trying to break through
• Whether big artists have a responsibility to elevate new talent
• The culture shift around IDs, edits, and promo on TikTok
• The role of community building in EDM
• When borrowing becomes poaching
• Whether Fred again actually helped LYNY or overshadowed him

The conversation expands into a wider look at the industry: the lack of mentorship, the expectations placed on top artists, and whether the community holds different people to different standards based on their public persona.

What happens when you start a DJ duo with your middle school best friend - and it actually works?

In this episode of The XLNT Show, we sit down with LA-based legends Two Friends to trace their full journey - from mashing up indie rock in Pro Tools during college, to building the Big Booty Mixes empire, to throwing arena-sized shows with full drumlines, sax solos, and pyro.

We cover it all:

• The early days of mashups and hip-hop beats
• Producing electronic music entirely in Pro Tools
• Playing over 150 frat parties across the country
• The science (and chaos) behind Big Bootie Mixes
• How they build stadium-sized live sets with color-coded Google Sheets
• Touring with sax players, drumlines, and custom visuals
• Navigating a long-term creative partnership without burning out
• Blending pop, country, EDM, and halftime heat into one sound

Whether you’re a DJ, producer, or part of a creative duo trying to define your voice, this is a masterclass in identity, experimentation, and staying power.

We also talk about upcoming music with Quinn XCII, the challenges of BPM “jail,” and what it takes to build a team you can trust.

In this episode of The XLNT Show, we sit down with NGHTMRE - the bass heavyweight, genre-fluid producer, and live show assassin who keeps pushing dance music forward.

We dive into his evolution from early big-room/electro experiments as “T-Mare” to the trap wave that defined a generation, the Icon Collective grind, and the SLANDER brotherhood that helped shape his sound. Tyler breaks down the moment Skrillex dropped “Street” on Ultra’s mainstage, the happy-accident pan sample + Grain Delay trick, and how years of DJ reps (Vegas residencies, B2Bs, and festival chaos) refined his instincts onstage and in the studio. He also opens up about building real hip-hop crossovers (ASAP Ferg “Redlight” & VIPs), the new album Mindfull (out August 29), and the October–December tour that’s about to melt faces.

In this episode of The XLNT Show, we sit down with Adventure Club — the legendary Canadian duo who helped shape the rise of EDM and brought dubstep into the mainstream with their genre-defining remixes and originals.

We go all the way back with them — from their early days in pop punk and screamo bands, to stumbling into dubstep production before tutorials even existed, to bootlegging Brand New and accidentally kickstarting a career that would take them around the world. Adventure Club open up about navigating the early blog era, the insane grind of touring, and why being in a duo is more like a marriage than a partnership.

They also share hilarious tour stories (including table jousting, slap wars, and a McDonald’s-level fight), talk about how Cakewalk DAW accidentally shaped their sound, and reveal how they’re bringing back their classic era with a full-on throwback tour.
