MXMTOON Interview- coming out bisexual, ethnicity identity problems Jan 19, 2020

Show notes

On her debut album the masquerade, 19-year-old singer/songwriter mxmtoon delivers what she calls “rhyming diary entries”: an off-the-cuff account of her most private thoughts and feelings, straight from her brightly lit brain. With her disarming vocal presence and utter aversion to self- seriousness, the Oakland-based artist offers up songs like lead single “prom dress”: a layered meditation on expectation and disappointment, written after an In-N-Out Burger-induced panic attack. Revealing her rare ability to draw deep meaning from the most mundane moments, the masquerade expands on the powerfully resonant songwriting first shown on her debut EP plum blossom. And as she strengthens her remarkable bond with her audience, mxmtoon has made a point of using her ever-growing platform to speak out on issues like immigration and LGBTQ+ rights. Not only closely tied to her identity as a young bisexual woman of color, that unguarded honesty echoes a heartfelt mission of giving voice to those who often go unheard.

AUDIEN Interview-high and low points of career Jan 18, 2020

Show notes

Hailing from the unlikely location of Mystic, a small seaport town in Connecticut, Audien (born Nathaniel Rathbun, 1992) began producing music as a teenager and gradually took his piano-driven hands-in-the-air progressive trance sound to the top of the Billboard dance charts, selling out major venues and headlining numerous EDM festivals along the way. Rathbun started creating tracks in 2008, initially releasing happy hardcore on Only Vibes Recordings, a digital label he co-founded with producer Naggy. Rathbun switched to trance in 2009, sending a demo to Ferry Corsten, who released "Rise & Shine" on his Aleph Recordings imprint. Numerous singles followed on labels like Songbird, First State Music, Enhanced Progressive, and Perceptive Deep, and leading progressive house DJs such as Tiësto, Above & Beyond, and Armin van Buuren began to take notice of Audien's euphoric sound, leading to an opening slot for van Buuren at the Roseland in New York City in 2011. He released tracks on Anjunabeats and Trice Recordings in 2012, and toured the United States with Hardwell soon after. Releases on Zouk Recordings and Spinnin' Records followed, and in 2014 Rathbun remixed Michael Jackson's "Slave to the Rhythm" and Bastille's "Pompeii," the latter of which was heavily played at many clubs and festivals and was eventually nominated for a Grammy for "Best Remixed Recording, Non Classical." After completing his first headlining tour in 2015, Audien signed to Astralwerks. The label promptly released "Insomnia," which topped Billboard's dance music chart. This was followed by the release of "Something Better," a collaboration with country superstars Lady Antebellum. Three more major singles followed, "Crazy Love" (featuring Deb's Daughter) in 2016, "One More Weekend" (with MAX), and "Hot Water" with 3LAU in 2017. 2018 brought a pair of single for the Anjunabeats label starting with the Cecilia Gault collaboration, "Higher," followed by the Arty-assisted "Never Letting Go." Audien ended the year with the anthemic "Rollercoaster" which featured vocals by Liam O'Donnell. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi

SUECO THE CHILD Interview- how he blew up on Tik Tok Jan 17, 2020

Show notes

Los Angeles talent Sueco the Child transitioned from beatmaker to rapper when his debut single, "Fast," went viral in the spring of 2019. Fueled by traction on the short-form video app Tik Tok, "Fast" became a social media moment unto itself, with fans creating millions of videos soundtracked by the irreverent and subtly humorous mid-tempo banger.

Sueco the Child was born William Schultz in 1997. By his early twenties, he had become a music producer best known for videos centered around making beats from random or outlandish sound sources. Along with being a beatmaker, Sueco occasionally rapped on his productions. Early singles like 2018's "Henny in the Trunk" had an atmospheric character to compliment his mumbly flow. Sueco posted the far grimier "Fast" online in April 2019, and it almost instantly took off on social media platforms. The spike in attention led to a contract with Atlantic Records, and in June of that year a remix of the viral song surfaced with new verses from Offset and A Boogie wit da Hoodie.

ELIMINATE interview - how he released on DISCIPLE records Jan 13, 2020

Show notes

Watch interview to learn about Nate's background from moving from Washington to his journey into Disciple records! And of course we ended the interview with showing off some his Kendama skills and Jina's lack of skills.

In the wake of Eliminate joining the Disciple exclusive roster, the young bass producer has gone from strength to strength. From his label debut 'Walls,' to monster collab and Spotify breakthrough hit 'Party Starter' with Flux Pavilion, and recent releases 'Drive' (Mad Decent) & 'Bump' (Never Say Die), he shows no sign of slowing down.

With support coming in from Skrillex to Flosstradamus to Chainsmokers to NGHTMARE to Excision to Bassnecter to UZ (the list goes on!), you can't wander too far around any festival without hearing Eliminate's signature sound.

This year has seen Eliminate play at the prestigious EDC Las Vegas embark upon his first AUS/NZ tour earlier this Fall & recently join the Disciple gang for a sold out Hollywood Palladium show.

Show notes

Chime is music producer and DJ Harvey Thompson from Leeds, England producing for over 8 years.

Originally producing the UK's heavily preferred drum & bass genre, Chime gradually came to adopt dubstep as his primary genre for production - in particular the melodic style popularised by artists such as Xilent, Seven Lions, Virtual Riot and others. A great deal of influence from video games’ music and worlds complete the Chime sound as it is today.

Chime began releasing with one of the US's most well-known dubstep labels in 2015. Firepower Records is spearheaded by Datsik, a widely-recognised pioneer of the dubstep genre in the US, his record label continues to dominate the states for bass music. Chime debuted on the label in 2015 releasing “Rockin’” (with Different Heaven) followed by a free single download “Offensive”. 2016 saw Chime’s first EP release with the label “From Fairies To Fire EP” which gained huge DJ support and an inclusion on the iconic UKF Dubstep promotional YouTube channel. 2017 has seen Chime’s inclusion on the label’s “Flatline” series of compilations with “Get Your Hands Dirty” and his return for a second 6-track EP “Invincible”.

Chime also regularly releases with other labels such as Kinphonic, Most Addictive Records, NoCopyrightSounds and Daily Earfood alongside his own label / collective project “Rushdown”.
