Tiny Table Radio: Conversations with Cory Bradburn episodes

  • Wolf Spritzer — Why "Simple" House Music Is Harder Than It Sounds

    What happens when a trained musician walks into dance music thinking it'll be easy?


    Wolf Spritzer joins Tiny Table Radio for a conversation about ego, simplicity, and finding your voice in a genre that doesn't care about complexity. A lifelong bass guitarist who spent years playing rock shows at Webster Hall, Wolf picked up production during Covid and quickly discovered that making people move is harder than making people impressed.


    We talk about the humbling moment on a Twitch livestream that changed his approach, how voice memos became part of his creative process, including one idea that came to him on a pier in San Francisco, how PowerHaus came together with Bridge and CRVM, and why comparison is the thief of joy — but he keeps showing up because he loves it.


    This is a conversation about what it takes to start over in a new world and learn to let go of what you think you already know.

  • Creating Art With Purpose — Madison (Party Animals)

    What does it really mean to be part of dance music culture?


    Madison (Party Animals) joins Tiny Table Radio to talk about the deeper meaning behind the dancefloor — and the journey that led her there.


    After leaving a high-paying career in tech, she set out to build something rooted in connection, using art as a way to bring people together across differences. Through her brand Party Animals, she explores how playfulness, humor, and design can open the door to more meaningful conversations.


    We talk about the freedom of the dancefloor, why house music creates connection between strangers, and how the scene can drift from its original purpose — and what it looks like to bring it back.


    This conversation is about more than music.


    It’s about community, identity, and why we come together in the first place.


    Because it’s not just music.

  • Niki Sadeki — The Burning Man Moment That Started Her DJ Career

    Niki Sadeki joins Tiny Table Radio for a conversation about belonging in electronic music, discovering rave culture later in life, and building an artistic voice that doesn’t fit neatly into any one genre.


    In this episode, the Iranian-born DJ and producer reflects on growing up between cultures — born in Iran, raised in Canada, and now based in New York — and how those experiences shaped both her identity and her sound.


    We talk about the moment that changed everything: her first trip to Burning Man in 2016, where witnessing a set in the middle of a desert storm sparked the realization that she wanted to become a DJ.


    But the conversation goes deeper than origin stories.


    Niki shares how staying true to herself sometimes means resisting the pressure to be “algorithm friendly,” why belonging matters more than fitting in, and how grief and hope from events in Iran continue to influence the emotional range of her music.


    We also explore her DJ style — layering multiple tracks and building evolving soundscapes live — along with the creative risks she’s taking in the studio as she develops her production work.


    This episode is about identity, resilience, and finding your place in the underground.

  • CHASKE on Sobriety, Identity, and Growing Up in NYC’s Underground

    CHASKE joins Tiny Table Radio for a conversation about growing up in New York’s underground rave scene, choosing sobriety while working in nightlife, and building a house music career shaped by identity and intention.

    In this episode, the Brooklyn-based Native American and Jewish DJ and producer reflects on discovering electronic music at 14 years old at an illegal park rave in NYC — a chaotic first experience that set him on a 15-year journey through global travel, long-form DJ sets, and eventually house music.

    We talk about playing a 12-hour set for 50,000 people at Thailand’s Full Moon Party, opening for Damian Lazarus early in his house career, and what it means to step into bigger rooms before you feel fully ready.

    But this conversation goes deeper than milestones.

    CHASKE shares what led him to get sober inside the rave culture, how partying from a young age shaped his relationship with music, and how discipline ultimately brought more clarity to his production, performance, and community building.

    We also explore how his Native American and Jewish heritage influences his creative process — from powwow drum rhythms to sampling traditional melodies — and why house music remains, at its core, about connection.

    This episode is about growth inside the underground — not outside of it.


    🎵 About CHASKE
    CHASKE is a Brooklyn-based DJ and producer whose sound blends house music with funk-driven basslines, percussion-forward grooves, and psychedelic textures.

    With over 15 years in electronic music, he continues to evolve his craft while running SHINE, his NYC-based event series focused on consistent energy and community on the dancefloor.

  • Designing the Night Before It Starts with CRVM

    CRVM joins Tiny Table Radio for a conversation about intention in DJing, designing the night before it starts, and why house music is bigger than any one person.

    In this episode, Brooklyn-based DJ and designer CRVM reflects on shaping parties through context — not just sound. From early rooftop parties to playing Elsewhere, he shares how visuals, flyers, and environment quietly set expectations long before the first track is played.

    We talk about DJing as a form of service, letting the music speak, and understanding energy in the room. CRVM also breaks down his creative process beyond the booth — designing flyers when venues don’t provide them, pulling inspiration from old rave culture, and using color and visual language to communicate emotion and genre.

    The conversation also touches on building POWERHAUS, navigating Brooklyn’s evolving nightlife landscape, showing up digitally without losing integrity, and creating space for deeper community through Syncopated Souls.

    We talk about:• Designing flyers as part of DJing• Setting expectations before the doors open• Reading energy instead of rigid planning• Visual language, color, and old rave references• Letting the music speak without disappearing


    🎵 About CRVM

    CRVM is a Brooklyn-based DJ and designer whose sound blends deep house, Afro house, and emotionally driven rhythms rooted in community and intention.

    How do DJ careers actually get built — beyond DMs, reposts, and shortcuts?

    In this episode of Tiny Table Radio, NYC-based DJ, producer, and event curator MAFIA B joins host Cory Bradburn for a wide-ranging conversation about discipline, presence, and the real-world decisions that shaped his path through the underground.

    From growing up immersed in New York City culture, to discovering house music through taekwondo training, to DJing 21+ clubs at just 18 years old, MAFIA B reflects on the moments that quietly changed his confidence as an artist — and why showing up in person still matters.

    We talk about:

    • Why in-person connection still outweighs online outreach

    • The difference between talent and professionalism in getting booked

    • Teaching producers and how mentorship shaped his growth
