A-Trak Takes On Duck Sauce Vs. Chromeo

This week on the pod the boys get to know co host Jupiter Williams (@jupiterwilliams) just a little bit better. We skipped a matchup this week to dive into Travis’ history as a promoter, dj, corporate employee, and even merch vendor for Riff Raff. We also dive deeper into the importance of being able to play it all when the right situation arrives, the importance of having an EPK (and occasional business cards), and the importance of diving deeper into exploring that obsession with music in order to become well versed. The boys are celebrating the 100th episode of the pod in Las Vegas April 23 at 18Bin from noon til 6pm featuring live DJ sets from all hosts, a live set from Tim Tones, and surprise special guests throughout the day. If you can make it, we would love to party with you.

This week on the pod the boys are joined by Portland’s Neo Fresco (@neofresco) for an off the wall showdown between MF DOOM and Will Smith. After the lightning round the boys recap the Oscar fiasco, talk about the current state of Instagram, dive into Kyle’s intersection and history as a Producer / DJ, and the boys dive deeper into the the inconveniences of the layout of the DJ booth. This episode is literally all over, but after 90something episodes, you know by now just to turn it on.

This week on the pod the boys FINALLY sit down with jack of all trades, the mayor of Chicago, or maybe Cleveland, or both really: Dante The Don (@primadante). We kick it off in high gear with a close battle between Fleetwood Mac vs Tom Petty before quickly rumbling down the lightning round. Following that we get some background on Dante’s progression throughout his DJ career, the time he had to pull Macy Gray (which leads to a story of PHNM pulling a hilarious Aaron Carter). Once we finally stopped laughing Dante shared his story of working behind the scenes and opening multiple successful venues in Cleveland, the amount of nonsense airhead flavors, and pitching pizza locations for Barstool Sports and Dave Portnoy. Buckle up buttercup. This episode is one of the best. Hats off to you Dante.

This week on the pod the boys sit down with Mikul Wing of @autografmusic for a quick catch up in sunny Los Angeles. The battle begins with a quick head to head of Diddy vs Jermaine Dupri and quickly takes us down the rabbit hole of the unpredictable lightning round. Mikul recounts the bloghouse days when Justice performed at his house, the era of his dubstep project Midnight Conspiracy and the importance of embracing the rebranding when youre ready to launch a new project. In the second half of the episode the boys dive into the topics of nightclub dress codes, finding and knowing your sound as a dj, and PHNM’s adventures in jury duty. Alotta real talk in this episode and a good amount of nonsense too as you know and love. Fire it up!

This week on the pod the boys head across the pond to talk with the maestro of DJ tech, the legendary MOJAXX (@mojaxx). After a battle between house music royalty Armand Van Helden and Fatboy Slim, the boys rattle down a rabbit hole of Twitch impacts, Neek’s tap dancing childhood, and the reason why the Serato box is still important in the grand scheme of things. This write up won’t do it justice but we were extremely thrilled to talk all things DJing with one of the best and smartest minds in the business. Smash play now and take the ride.

Totally Dude! This week the boys talk all things butt rock and 90s / early 2000s forgotten childhood memories with the queen of nostalgia Alanna “That’s So” Raben (@alannaraben). We open up the deep dive with a quick battle between The Supremes vs Destiny’s Child before quickly spiraling down the rabbit hole of boy band members, Fruitopia flavors, and heartwarming moments with 50 Cent. Be sure to check out Alanna’s party Grunch @grunchrules (a grunge brunch for those that aren’t good at deciphering combined words) and be sure to tip $300 if you’re requesting Macklemore. Fire up the ep now!

This week on the pod the boys had the pleasure of sitting down with a true jack of all trades: DJ Sammy Needlz (@djsammyneedlz) for a producer paradise battle between J Dilla vs Pete Rock. After the close matchup the boys talk relocating to LA, adventures on the road with Duck Sauce ( @atrak and @armandvanhelden ), Goldie Awards, sticky situations in Brazil, and a RARE Top 3 New York pizza list! Sammy has truly done it all and this glimpse into a portion of his history in music will absolutely attest to how integral he is in the DJ community. Glad we could give flowers to a real one!
