  • Working in Music with a Hearing Disability, with Eva Billie Singer

    Welcome back to another episode of the Underground Society Podcast. 

    We have talked about how important it is to wear earplugs but we personally have never talked to anyone who works in the music industry that is Hard of Hearing. 


    But today that changes, because we have Eva Billy Singer who is an agent for Corson (who works with some of your favorite dubstep artists including many from the Disciple team). And who also runs her own woman only operated agency as well called “Seaview Talent”. To tell us all about what it is like to have troubles with her hearing when working in such an auditory work environment. 

    I hope this episode inspires you to never let anything ever hold you back. No matter what your “disadvantage” may be, remember that the ones who truly make it in this field have overcome every single adversity that has come their way and if you want it badly enough nothing should stop you from reaching your goals.


    Thank you so much for tuning in, enjoy the episode!

  • Fully Embracing a New Brand Direction, with Nimbvs

    Welcome back to another episode of the Underground Society Podcast. 

    Let me ask you, have you ever heard a high level artist’s song and before you even saw who it was, you already could tell just based on what the song sounded like?

    Well today, we dive deep into the new brand direction that Nimbvs is taking with their project that they say they have been struggling to figure out since day one. Because they enjoy making so many different types of music, it has been extremely hard for them to land on a “signature sound design” that most of the larger artists are known to have.  

    So instead of using a specific sound design or style to their music, they explain how they have taken more of an approach to make all of their art in a “cinematic” way. 

    Coming off the release of their brand new album “Genesis” they said that fans can expect more music coming from them that encapsulates a mixture between hard hitting dance music and Hans Zimmer (famous movie score / composer) and we couldn’t be more excited for them.

    Thank you so much for tuning in, enjoy the episode!

  • The Highs and Lows of G-Rex’s Career

    Welcome back to another episode of the Underground Society Podcast. Today we have the pleasure of having an absolute legend on the show, G-Rex, who has been a part of massive songs like Babatunde and Badders with Peekaboo and Skrillex. 

    But just like any other success story, there is the road of getting there…

    What a lot of people don’t see is that right before he released his breakthrough track “Babatunde” he was working odd jobs like landscaping, hanging up Christmas lights and living the “Starving Artist” lifestyle. 

    Fast forward almost 13 years into his career and he now has a collab on one of Skrillex’s biggest tracks, and is touring the world playing some of the most wobbly / experimental / trappy goodness that the bass music scene has ever heard. 

    Thank you so much for tuning in, enjoy the episode!

  • Trying to Stay Afloat Financially While Pursuing His Career, with Hamro

    Hamro has been absolutely crushing the riddim scene the last few years and when he told me that he has only been producing since he 2020, I was SHOCKED! 

    Playing multiple dates and festivals such as Origins, Forbidden Kingdom, Summoning of the Eclipse and tour dates with Benda and Savage Society, Hamro has begun to make a stamp in the riddim scene unlike other young artists. 

    With everything happening so quickly with his career, I was curious to see if he even had any areas in his career that he struggled with. We cover everything from him losing his mom when he was only 13, being raised by his older sisters, and what it looked like for him to learn how to manage his finances in a time where it typically takes a considerable amount of time for promoters to pay their artists. 

    Thank you so much for tuning in, enjoy the episode!

  • Underground Society Held Hostage

    The Underground Society Team has been waiting a while for this one and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome the masked trio “Hostage Situation” to the show. 

    We have all seen masked DJs before (Mashmello, ATLiens, etc.) but what we haven’t seen is a trio of masked artists… until now. And what really sets these guys apart is the genuineness of their friendship. 

    After talking with these guys, we can really tell that their relationship is similar to a brotherhood. In  this episode they share with us everything from their arguments, to their workflow and they even tell us countless stories of the craziness that happens to them not only on the road but just their everyday life. 

    They say that the relationship they have is the most important part of making this project successful and I hope that this episode will bring just as much laughter to you as it did for us during recording. 

    Thank you so much for tuning in, enjoy the episode!

  • The Solution to Gatekeeping? “No Travel Agency”

    Are you tired of feeling stuck at the gatekeepers' door, trying to break into the industry?

    It's time to release the power within you and defy the odds. We understand the challenges you face and believe that your talent deserves to be seen and heard. 

    And so does our guest today, Hxphy, who is the Tour Manager / Lead Photographer for Dr. Fresch.

    Today he is going to tell us all about the platform that he created called “No Travel Agency” that is designed to help creatives receive the support they need to become successful in their careers. 

    He says that one of the keys to his success was having great mentors and people that he could look to for guidance, however, he never knew how he could repay those people. 

    Until he realized that all he needed to do was pay it forward to the next generation. Which is exactly what he aims to do with his agency that currently has over 1k supportive creatives just like you and I that help each other break through any and all barriers that hold them back.

    Thanks so much for tuning in, enjoy the episode!

  • New Co-Host, EDMMYS, Funko Pop AI & New Year's Resolutions

    Happy New Year Society Members! We are back with a brand new episode to kick off our 2024 season. First off, I want to apologize for us taking a little hiatus. We were going through a lot of restructuring with the addition of a new co-host (Halley Wozniak - Kambi’s manager) as well as our regular scheduled time off for the holidays. 

    Today Halley and I discuss a bunch of hot topics in EDM news ranging from the EDMMYs, to Funko Pop AI that exploded on X (Twitter) last month and of course we couldn’t start the new year without telling you all what we are aiming to accomplish this year with our New Year’s resolutions. 

    I also hope you guys enjoy this new format! As we will be doing host / team only episodes once a month moving forward.
