]]> 905 Evan "Kidd" Bogart: When things get tough, lean in https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/evan-bogart Part 1 of 2 Evan "Kidd" Bogart seems like he would have had an easy ride to the top. He was born into music industry success — the son of Casablanca Records founder Neil Bogart and Kiss manager Joyce Bogart Trabulus. And today has a Grammy (for Beyonce's "Halo") and a long list of hit songs (see below), and now a movie — Spinning Gold — which he made with his brothers, about his father. In between is where it gets interesting. He tried to break through as a rapper in the 90s. When that didn't work, he started in the music business and became known as the guy who discovered Eminem and didn't get credit for it (you'll hear a bit of that story in our episode). Evan started again, only to have it fall apart and have to move home at 26, and start again. You'll have to listen to our interview to find out how it all turned around for him, and the lessons he learned from the ups and downs. But it should be obvious that never giving up is core for Evan, and that his love and passion for music has driven him through life's challenges. Make sure you come back next week for part 2 where we talk about the incredible movie Spinning Gold, on which Evan is executive producer, music supervisor, and composer.

He's been leading his father's band, Egypt 80, since he was 14, stepping up to the mic after Fela's untimely death. Twenty-five years later, he says he never "took over" the band, but instead "we just kept playing... it's always been a collective mission for me." Our interview gets into some real issues of globalization, class struggle, and corrupt narratives that fill public discourse across media and entertainment. Seun's outlook is bleak: "it seems like humanity is hell bent on destroying itself," and yet somehow hopeful at the same time, fueled by his love for his family. Let's get to it...

They're also both label heads, Jono of Anjunabeats and Darren of Mondo Records. JODA is their side project born out of the pandemic. Maybe a bit of restlessness from not being able to tour, and maybe tapping into the collective energy that led so many of us to feel like it's time to try something different. The record blends modern electronic production with 80s synthwave sounds, courtesy of the guys' extensive and growing collection of analog synthesizers. We talk a lot about collaboration. How they were able to give each other space to experiment and also keep the project moving forward. And about how the tools of the trade (analog synths in this case) influence the output of the final product.

Jeff was a founder of the SoleSides Crew responsible for bringing us artists like DJ Shadow and Lyrics Born and helped Josh get his first job out of college. So there's that. Our interview tracks the development of their careers along parallel paths before converging on the re-imagining of Jeff's book — originally published in 2005 — for young adults. They may have cleaned up some of the language, and also added some pivotal stories from hip hop's evolution from then until the present day. In particular, the new version expands on women's role in hip hop as well as how the culture has spread to literally every corner on earth.

While he was riding for brands like Airwalk, Etnies, Droors, Duff's, among others, he began designing shoes for many of those companies, and others, before becoming head of footwear design for DC. There he designed the Court model, which has been DC's biggest-selling shoe to this day. More recently, Alf launched his own lines: Everybody Skates: A skate / streetwear brand that borrows heavily from pop culture (https://everybodyskates.com) Savale: A luxury sneaker brand making limited-edition skate shoes that you can actually skate in if you have money like that (https://www.savalefootwear.com) We get a little deep on the details of sneaker design. Geek out on that if you're interested, and there are a couple of BIG lessons for everyone building a brand or a career: 1. Make sure you know why people are buying your product. It can be the best in the world but if it doesn't meet the emotional and functional needs of your customer, it isn't going to work. 2. Hear how Alf is involving his audience in the creative process.

In today's episode, Jazerai puts us up on how sneaker brands are continuing to adapt to reflect a changing society, what personal integrity means to her, and what we can all learn from hip hop (and sneaker) icon DMC.

This week I hand over the mic (Not literally, we both had mics otherwise you'd only hear one person which wouldn't be great unless we were doing a one-person podcast, which we aren't. So glad we cleared that up.) to my collaborator Ethan Baer. Ethan is an entrepreneur whose hustle I respect a lot, and he had some questions for me about leadership and business smarts. Of course I start out by telling him some of the ways I've screwed up over the years. Braggadocio! Hopefully by the end we got to some valuable lessons and maybe I'll challenge your perspective on some things. Love to hear from you if I said anything you liked or hated. In the intro I also also ramble on a bit about what it means to be a rebel, which you'd think I would have down to a clean one-liner by now. I don't. I basically make the argument that rebellion is about bringing new ideas into the world, which are likely to meet a lot of resistance on their way to becoming mainstream. I hope our show challenges you to think about what ideas are burning in your brain, and maybe take some action to create your own rebellion.

They aren't waiting for things to get back to normal. They know they don't have it all figured out. They're just executing. They're passionate about the cause, and they're using what they have to create value, to be a beacon for other people, and to build a community of people who care about the same things. Sounds like a formula for success. Shira Lazar was a previous guest on the show. She's the founder and host of What's Trending and is a social influencer and entrepreneur. We're excited to welcome her back to the show. She's partnered with Jordana Reim — former advertising executive and yoga teacher and host of Mount Everest Base Camp wellness experiences — to create Peace Inside Live (https://www.peaceinside.live), a community of instructors hosting classes in yoga, mindfulness, and other resources to impact our mental and physical well-being. Much needed in 2020 and pretty much always as the challenges of modern living continue to pile up. In our interview, they share a bit about how they got a new business off the ground in the midst of all this craziness as well as how they're continuing to learn on the job and to allow collaborators the room to bring their unique contributions. After you listen to this episode, you're going to want to take a class with them. Classes are free so don't forget to make a donation.

]]> 2505 yes Raymond Roker: How to win by evolving with the seasons https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/raymond-roker-how-to-win-by-evolving-with-the-seasons This is a special episode. Raymond Roker has been more of a mentor to me than probably anyone else. He gave me my first job out of college and he helped me start a career in marketing when we launched an agency together over 20 years ago. Even though it's been more than a decade since we've worked together, I still hear his voice in my head sometimes when I'm considering big decisions. He's also the founder of URB Magazine, which more than any other media, defined underground culture in the US. After URB, he went on to launch The Red Bulletin, Red Bull's lifestyle magazine, and most recently produced the Coachella documentary as head of content at AEG. If you haven't see that yet, you should watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjwilAja7Lc There's so much we didn't get to from our 30 year friendship and business relationship, and in putting this show together I noticed we didn't talk too much about music. Hopefully we'll have Raymond back soon and dig into some of that. But we did get some valuable nuggets of wisdom about how to weather the seasons of business and culture and why we all must always be working on our reinvention.

She studied classical music as a kid, then became an athlete and martial artist, a pre-med student in college, a TV host doing interviews on red carpets, and then finally started DJing, rapping, and producing. She also overcame physical and mental health challenges and, as she says, became her own superhero. One of her guiding principles comes from Tony Robbins and could not be more relevant in 2020: "Instead of asking, 'how is this the worst thing that ever happened to me?'

]]> 3170 yes John Lewis: More throttle, less brake https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/john-lewis-more-throttle-less-brake John Lewis is what you get when you combine a corporate dude, an entrepreneur, and a motorcyclist. He's passionate, but tempered, realistic. He rode up to our studio to share some lessons he learned working at Nike, Burton, building his own coffee company, and consulting for the motorcycle industry. He's also probably the first guest who came prepared with notes of lessons he wanted to share. Here are two of the favorites: 1. Swing the bat and go down swinging. Failure is one of the most important things you can do as you go through this process that we call life. 2. More throttle, less brake. When something isn't feeling right, sometimes just by applying more pressure — applying more spending or applying more pressure to your sales force — you can sometimes get a desired result.

Junior Sanchez is perhaps the youngest of the house music dons. He's at the tail end of the giants who defined the genre and set the pace for the generations to follow— guys like Kenny Dope and Louie Vega, Armand van Helden, Roger Sanchez, Todd Terry, Harry "Choo Choo" Romero, Kerry Chandler. Junior plays the kid brother, and in that role, he's the one stirring thing up, crossing genres, challenging the status quo. In a room full of rebels, he's the rebel's rebel.

They don’t take themselves too seriously, even when being outspoken and controversial. "I have a bit of a sociopath streak in me,” Stone Rokk tells me. Although they may not want to admit it, they obviously love the game. From painstaking attention to detail in the studio to creative marketing ideas to an upcoming book about their adventures in Hollywood and around the world. The Captains of Industry are a great example of being all in. Listen here to know what the hell I’m talking about.

He shared some great stories about how he’s built a career making music in various forms, various genres, under various names. It was a great way to kickoff the show. So on the occasion of our two-year anniversary, I figured I’d check back in with him to see what new lessons he might have for us. I figured wrong. Instead of obliging my questions, Dennis took grabbed the mic and proceeded to interview me. We dug into my long and sometimes ridiculous career path and managed to uncover a lot of “what not to do.” Turns out I also learned a couple valuable things along the way, namely… * Get to know yourself really well and make decisions that work for you, which may not be the right answers for anyone else. * Just do stuff. Don’t dwell on how hard it’s going to be. Be in it for the experience and the journey. * Pay attention to your influences. Just because you see something in a movie, that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. We also talk about the work I’ve been doing lately with Linkin Park. We recorded the interview just days before the tragic death of their lead singer, Chester Bennington. It’s a terrible loss for fans around the world, and a massive reminder that we only have each other in this world.

He started playing clubs at 13 in his hometown of Bristol, UK, and then scored a residency at Kanya in Ibiza. He’s since built his own club brand and record label, Cut a Rug, and started making records with the Dirtybird crew, among others. In our brief sit-down, we got a little insight into what motivates Will: "the reason why I do it is so that people just have the best time ever.” We also picked up on how he’s been able to let go of control (a little) and how he handles his social media (spoiler: that’s the one thing he won’t let go of).

]]> 2405 yes DoLab's Jesse Flemming: How to do it without a plan https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/dolabs-jesse-flemming-how-to-do-it-without-a-plan This week we bring you the first of three episodes recorded live on the field at Coachella. We talked the Coachella people into giving us press passes so we could sit down with a few creative folks in the midst of one of the world’s largest cultural phenomena. If you don’t already know, Coachella is special because it brings together people from all walks of life. Old and young, rich and poor, indie rockers, hip hop heads, ravers. Sophisticated music lovers and people going to their first festival. For us, it’s a life-changing experience, every year. Our guest today is part of the reason Coachella is so amazing. Jesse and his brothers are the producers of the Lightning in a Bottle festival, the Dirtybird Campout, and the DoLab stage at Coachella. Truly one of the best experiences you’ll have at Coachella. Sort of a hippie rave vibe but calling it that doesn’t do it any justice. Jesse takes time out backstage to let us in on a couple of DoLab's secrets. They never intended to start a festival — they were just trying to have some fun and find outlets for their art. As they’ve gotten more successful, they’ve also continued to question the mission and whether their success is aligned with their motivation. That, and a couple lessons in how to build a great company and curate for 25,000 people coming up in today’s episode.

His DJ mixes sound effortless, jumping between genres as if they didn’t even exist; he’s a natural interviewer on his YouTube show, Electric Taco; and he seems to slide from business to business (music production, sneaker shop owner, to name a couple) with style and grace.

From he outside, it just seems like he’s good at stuff and he isn’t afraid to admit that to himself or to you. After years on the air at Power 106, Vice turned all of that skill, inspiration, and connection into a multi-faceted global business.

Dr. Dre’s The Chronic ignited a cultural firestorm that would blaze for the better part of the 90s and embed rap music into every aspect of modern culture by putting streetwise, often violent storytelling over smoothed-out George Clinton samples and live instrumentation. We could take you through all of the twists and turns, but without Dre, there’s no Drake. Our guest today, Karam Gill, is telling the West Coast gangsta rap story in a new documentary, G-Funk. Told from the viewpoint of Warren G — producer, rapper, and Dr. Dre’s stepbrother — and the other creators of the sound that shook the foundation of our world.

Their hits like "Passin’ Me By” and “Runnin’” blew up worldwide, and then everything fell apart for the group. Now Tre is in our studio telling us how he was able to start over and build a career that’s now into its third decade. Today, he’s partners with DJ Nu-Mark in TRDMRK; he’s part of the rock band Backbone, and he’s performing live with his former bandmate under the name Bizarre Ride, as well as tearing up the dance floor as a DJ. A couple secrets to his success: - Just don’t give a fuck. He’ll tell you how things started happening when he learned to stop caring what people thing. - Get lost in the music.

More than almost anyone else, Shira has bridged the gap between traditional and digital media. After starting out as a tv newscaster, she learned that blogs and social media gave her more control over her own destiny. Instead of waiting for someone to hire her to report the news, she could reach viewers directly through her own channels. That shift brought tremendous opportunity, like becoming her own brand and appearing on countless red carpets and getting complements from legends like Joan Rivers. It also brought some big challenges, as you’ll hear in our interview.

He's built at least three successful companies, including Rawkus Records, which helped launch the careers of folks we love, like Mos Def, Talib Kweli, El-P (now of Run the Jewels), High & Mighty, among others.

Save $500 on any 2016 or newer Honda vehicle. Check out http://www.hondafinancialservices.com to learn more.

Arsenic started up as a means for Amanda to express her creativity that wasn’t being met through independent film and commercial production. She quickly learned that people, models and fans alike, loved the way Arsenic put them in control. It gave them a voice, with a side of sideboob. A winning combination, to be sure. She stopped by the studio to let us in on her secrets. Hint: they include free pizza. Trust: You’re gonna wanna hear this one. *EDM.com Track of the Week: https://soundcloud.com/lavish/yas-muse-ft-wes-period Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today we bring you a special birthday treat: Lessons from one of the best in the business. Never give up. That’s the lesson we get today from Dirtybird Records chief Claude VonStroke. He’s a DJ, producer, label boss, and the leader of a tribe that trusts him to provide a full-service entertainment experience that includes events and merchandise. The Dirtybird BBQ daylong cookout with DJs have become a favorite of fans around the country, and last year’s Dirtybird Campout took things up several notches — a weekend of grown-up summer camp activities in addition to music from Dirtybird DJs and friends. We’re talking tug-o-war and kayak races. Josh stopped by the Dirtybird LA headquarters to learn the secrets to building a brand with such a devoted following, directly from CVS. First, he never gave up. He failed multiple times along the way — as a rapper, a drum & bass DJ, in movie production — and bounced back each time, refining his vision and renewing his spirit. Things finally clicked when he launched the label a decade ago. He also gives us some lessons in staying close to fins. He gives them exclusive access to him and his creations. He talked to them, and listens to their ideas and feedback. All that and more in our blazing 1-year anniversary show. Come back next week for the kickoff to year 2 and even more fire.

That’s the lesson we get today from Dirtybird Records chief Claude VonStroke. He’s a DJ, producer, label boss, and the leader of a tribe that trusts him to provide a full-service entertainment experience that includes events and merchandise. The Dirtybird BBQ daylong cookout with DJs have become a favorite of fans around the country, and last year’s Dirtybird Campout took things up several notches — a weekend of grown-up summer camp activities in addition to music from Dirtybird DJs and friends. We’re talking tug-o-war and kayak races. Josh stopped by the Dirtybird LA headquarters to learn the secrets to building a brand with such a devoted following, directly from CVS. First, he never gave up. He failed multiple times along the way — as a rapper, a drum & bass DJ, in movie production — and bounced back each time, refining his vision and renewing his spirit. Things finally clicked when he launched the label a decade ago. He also gives us some lessons in staying close to fins. He gives them exclusive access to him and his creations. He talked to them, and listens to their ideas and feedback. All that and more in our blazing 1-year anniversary show. Come back next week for the kickoff to year 2 and even more fire.

She’s surprisingly not that hardcore about her paleo (she even eats white rice) and recommends that we all pay attention to our own bodies and notice what works for us. Sounds like good advice for health and business. She’s also not that hardcore about her business. Her goal is to keep doing something she loves and also have a lifestyle that enables her to take care of her family and stay healthy. Listen here for lessons on how she does all that. If you make it all the way to the end, there’s one special tip to make everything you cook taste delicious. Listen up! Then let us know what you think with a review on iTunes. See you next week.

]]> 4184 yes Missy Suicide: "She's just so comfortable and confident, and she's naked." https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/missy-suicide-project Missy Suicide is a badass, if you can’t tell by the name. She’s the owner of the world’s largest collection of naked goth chicks. More accurately, she’s co-founder of Suicide Girls, a community of over 20 million people that is redefining beauty not only through glamorous portraits of unclothed women who often don’t fit traditional definitions of beauty, but through candid and supportive discussion of topics spanning the complexity of modern life. As she puts it, "We felt like this was place that people who felt outside the norm could come hang out and have as their home online... and you're likely to create cool things and meet amazing people and change your life. We had the grand vision of it being something that people could use to come together." Missy came by the Rebel Radio studios to give us some insight into how she’s built a brand that touches so many people in such powerful ways. She explains how she’s learned to balance ignoring the haters with gathering valuable information from her community, and why it’s so important for her to be a member of the community, not just the owner. We also get some insight into the pros and cons of hiring from within the community. Hope you like it.

Guerilla One is on hiatus online, so hit us up directly if you want more information. Graffiti art legend Risk stops by our studio to tell us about his latest project — a joint show with fellow Rebel Radio alum TAZ — and give us some insights into how he’s built one of the most interesting careers you’ll ever find. Risk is a study in dichotomy. He looks like an outlaw, like Rick Rubin’s first cousin or maybe a member of a bike gang. He got famous for doing illegal art, bombing the streets of Los Angeles and as one of the first to paint the “heavens” (art pieces and tags on freeway signs). That led him to success in the “legit” art world, gallery shows, selling paintings for big dollars, album covers, and one of the first streetwear lines. He’s since created his own gallery. Along the way, he studied art at USC and took business classes. He walked away from the clothing business because it became too much business and not enough art. Risk has some amazing lessons that apply to any business: Know what you stand for and don’t do anything else. Hope you love the interview.

Guerilla One is on hiatus online, so hit us up directly if you want more information. What a great artist to start with. Jim Evans has had more impact on how musicians communicate visually with their fans than almost anyone on the planet. He sometimes paints under the name TAZ. His body of work runs deep, so deep. From designing for surf rock acts in the 60s, to iconic artwork for artists like Chicago, Neil Young, the Beach Boys, and the Allman Brothers in the 70s, to U2, Aerosmith, and Nirvana in the 80s and 90s to modern-day heroes the Beastie Boys and Wu-Tang Clan, Jim has done it all: Logos, album covers, photographs, illustrations, websites, and so many posters. He’s currently preparing a collaborative art project with LA graffiti pioneer Risk. The key to his longevity is simple, but so difficult: "You've got to listen to things in new ears and see it with new eyes, or else you can't really possibly grow."

]]> 5323 yes Jayceeoh: How to collab and compete at the same time https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/how-to-collab-and-compete-at-the-same-time Jayceeoh drops by Rebel Radio World Headquarters to play us tracks from his new collab with the funk Dr. Spock (aka Redman). Sorry, no snippets (yet), but we can tell you the energy is electric, and the duo is fittingly called 1,000 Volts. He also gives us some insights into his creative journey. Jayceeoh is a very competitive dude, as you might imagine. He’s a two-time DMC finalist and winner of VH1’s Master of the Mix as well as McDonald’s Flavor Battle. Even his mixtape series, Super 7, is somewhat of a competition. He lines up contributions from other top DJs in various genres (past contributors have included DJ Jazzy Jeff, Z-Trip, Revolution, Thee Mike B, Gaslamp Killer, TJR, NGHTMRE, to name a few) try to outdo each other with their 10-minute mixes. These days, though, production is the main focus. In addition to the Redman project, Jayceeoh brings his aggressive trap style to remixes and original productions for folks like Bassnectar, Bloody Beetroots, and Morgan Page. That is, when he’s not playing house parties for the Kardashians. He says the competition has moved away from the decks and into the business. “The battle now is who’s got the better PR. Who’s got the better clique, what other artists are re-sharing their shit on SoundCloud. It’s a different kind of competition then. It’s cutthroat but it’s not as cutthroat like the old days." He also talks about some of the artists who have helped along the way — either through feedback, opportunities, and even the coveted re-share. And about some of the haters who try to stand in the way, although he doesn’t name names. This is a must-listen for fans of turntablism and trap music. The rest of you might learn something about the delicate balance between collaboration and competition from someone doing it very very well.

There are a handful of DJs who have massively influenced the art of DJing. - Kool Herc taught us we could mix two records together. - Grandmaster Flash taught us we could scratch. - Q-Bert taught us the turntable could be a musical instrument. - AM taught us we could play whatever records we want. Before he died, DJ AM inspired DJs around the world to break through boundaries many of them weren’t even aware of. He broke new ground for the profession of DJing as well, as the first to make $1 million a year, and then $2 million a year, from playing records. Our guests today are telling AM’s story to the world in the upcoming documentary AS I AM: The Life and Times of DJ AM, a beautiful picture of an incredibly talented, heartbreakingly flawed human being. Kevin Kerslake directed As I Am, and has been an important director of music videos, documentaries, and commercials for over 20 years. He’s made videos for Nirvana, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, among others, and documentaries about Bob Marley, Queens of the Stone Age, and Electric Daisy Carnival. Pick up some lessons in how to stay creative from one of the most creative guys around. DJ Kevin Scott co-produced As I Am. He became close to DJ AM as they were both on the come-up around the Southern California club scene, and later the global club scene. In our interview, they give us some insights into possible links between addiction and creativity, and talk about how to tackle painful subjects with grace and humor.

]]> 5565 yes 6 reasons you need to hear more from Vikter Duplaix https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/6-reasons-you-need-to-hear-more-from-vikter-duplaix We hope you enjoyed last week’s interview with Vikter Duplaix. There was so much good stuff that we had to re-up for a second week. If you missed the first part, you can check it out below. In part two, Vikter tells us about his first big break and how he learned (the hard way) to take credit for the work he’s done. He also explains how he managed to stay focused on his creative vision when people were expecting him to be something different. Then we get to hear about being mentored by r&b great Kenny Gamble, linking up with James Poyser from the Roots, launching a company with Jazzy Jeff, and collaborating with King Britt and Louie Vega. How does a man keep his head on straight in the midst of money, respect, fame? Vikter says: "You just have to know do you love making music or do you love being famous? And whichever one it is be honest about it and shape your career that way." Oh, and when the stakes is high and the cameras are on you: Rely on the confidence you built through all those years and hours of practice. You do practice, don’t you? Thought so. Enjoy the lessons.

You get the head this week. Come back next week for the tail. Vikter Duplaix isn’t just one of the most talented DJs around. He’s made his way through the music business since he was a teenager and has learned how to make the system work for him. He’s been nominated for a Grammy. He’s worked with legends. When I say legends, I mean LEGENDS: Earth Wind & Fire, Erykah Badu, Common, Jamiroquai, Teddy Pendergrass, Kenny Gamble, Jazzy Jeff, Questlove. He’s been on TV, first as a contestant and then judge on BET’s Master of the Mix. And he created one of the most soul-nourishing club nights around: Kiss n Grind. In our interview, Vikter takes us through the ups and downs of his career, from watching people get shot at his clubs when he was a teenage DJ starting out, to the expectations of being an international sex symbol. He’ll teach us how not to let fear get the best of us and how to avoid burnout. Warning: This one is FULL of dope music clips. Get ready, and then get ready to come back for more next week.

]]> 3765 yes 2 reasons Serato will blow your mind again https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/2-reasons-serato-will-blow-your-mind-again AJ Bertenshaw talks to us about everything DJ culture. We all know the art of DJing has changed dramatically in recent years. In the old days, DJs had to carry crates of vinyl around to gigs. In later years some DJs replaced the milk crates with CD bibles. In either case, that night’s selection was limited to whatever they could carry. And then there’s the beat matching, finding the tempos of records by hand and trying to match each new song with the one before it. I know, right? Our guest AJ Bertenshaw has helped to change all that. His products — Scratch Live and Serato DJ — have upped the ante for DJ technology, allowing DJs around the world to create “real” DJ mixes using music stored on laptops, and easily sync their tunes. Presumably, the best DJs have become even better and the worst don’t sound quite as bad. AJ drops by the studio to tell us the secrets to building a brand that endures, evolves, and continues to change the game after nearly two decades. He teaches us how Serato stays close to its customers, builds relationships with evangelists, and maintains a strong company culture. He also explains how, along with running a 100+ person business, he found the time to come up with the idea for Pyro, the company’s latest product that allows anyone with an iPhone to create their own DJ mixes.

Geoff has been shooting since he was a kid, and professionally since the early 90s. He’s shot magazine covers, album covers, celebrities, ad campaigns. He’s shot for Facebook around the world, and the new campaign for T-Mobile that’s showing up in the form of giant pink and black billboards around the country. Early on, he made music videos for artists such as Jewel, the Goo Goo Dolls, and the Cardigans, gaining MTV Director of the Year nominations twice before he turned 25, and hung out with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, always with the camera out. He’s spent his life documenting the punk rock lifestyle (among others), and living it. His latest work is called ENDORSEMENT: The Unseen Cobain Photos. Geoff was granted exclusive access to the storage facility (in Compton, CA, no less) to shoot personal effects of the late Nirvana frontman. Among them, a Converse sneaker, lyric notebooks, and a number of heart-shaped boxes. In our interview, Geoff explains why he still gets hired, even though clients can find a million jokers on Instagram whose pictures look pretty damn good (hint: skills behind the camera are only part of the answer). He explains the difference between technical proficiency and work that has soul, and also gives some advice for shorties coming up today. Click to learn all this and more.

]]> 5805 yes Ant LaRock: 3 Powerful ways to stay incredibly focused https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/3-powerful-ways-to-stay-incredibly-focused Ant LaRock stops by our studio to put us up on what the next generation is up to. A musician since childhood, he meandered through multiple genres before landing on a classic deep house sound that pre-dates him by about a decade, somehow avoiding the more obvious choices like trap, techno, or whatever EDM means these days. He got his first break with a remix of “Right Here, Right Now,” for Giorgio Moroder and Kylie Minogue, and recently remixed “Flip It” by Charlotte Devaney featuring Snoop. Big wins for a cat that’s new in the game. He just put out a solo EP on the legendary house label Nervous Records. Ant tells us what it’s like being a protege of one of New York’s house dons, Todd Terry. And how he keeps his mind on his hustle now that he got his foot in the door. He also explains how, in order to stay true to his classic sound, he avoids listening to a lot of new music while he’s writing so it doesn’t influence him in ways that he doesn’t want. That’s curation, folks. All this and more, including one thing he does regularly to keep himself focused on making music, when you click to listen.

At last count, StockX had over 19,000 pairs of pre-owned sneakers for sale. Josh also founded Campless, an online pricing guide for resale sneakers. We found him through his TED Talk where he persuaded a roomful of creatives and techies to think about how Air Jordan could be relevant to their businesses. In short, Josh is a data guy with a passion for sneakers. A few years back, he left his corporate gig at IBM to build a business that blends those two qualities. And it’s paid of big time. He was able to sell Campless and score a partner with big money and clout. In our interview, we explore some of the ins and outs of sneaker culture. If you’re into sneakers, you’ll dig some of the history we get into. There’s one man responsible for the popularity of sneakers more than anyone else. Do you know who that is? If you’re not familiar with sneaker heads, sneaker culture, sneaker collecting, we got your introduction right here. By the end, you’ll know the difference between Ones, Js, Clydes, Yeezeys. You’ll probably have to look up Winos though. We also learn how Josh built his business so quickly, how he was able to connect with a community of rabid fans, how he crowdsources information and ideas. We discuss how he protects customers from buying fakes. (Did you know counterfeit sneakers were even a thing?

No, not like that. He got his start by responding to a flyer that said "if you’re antiracist, antigovernment, vegan, we’re trying to find a drummer.” From that day on, the DIY punk scene in Indiana became his life. Years later, he would move to LA, realize the seriousness of punk rock was missing one thing: fun, and launch a club called Fucking Awesome with his new friend and fellow unheard-of DJ, Steve Aoki. Though they didn’t know it at the time, the two were at the forefront of a movement that would not only change music, but even impact the way culture spreads around the world by bringing fun back into nightlife and creating an environment that’s more inclusive than exclusive. Nowadays, Franki runs his label / agency, IHEARTCOMIX —where he also illustrates all of the releases — and until recently, the event series Check Yo Ponytail. All of this places Franki at the intersection of music and geek culture, maybe like a cool version of The Nerdist.

He’s also an outspoken critic of the old school music industry and towards the end of our talk, he outlines what they should have done differently and what he’s doing now to get it right.

You have not. How a punk rock kid became the world’s expert in graffiti and street art. If you still think graffiti is just kids defiling your neighborhood, you need to get with the times. Graffiti, and its sibling, “street art,” have infiltrated high-end galleries, museums, and private collections, with top artists’ work selling for five-to-six figures. Roger Gastman is the man behind a lot of that evolution. As a magazine publisher (While You Were Sleeping; Swindle), documentary producer (Exit from the Gift Shop; The Legend of Cool “Disco” Dan), author (Amazon shows 115 results for “Roger Gastman” under books, including The History of American Graffiti and Hello Kitty, Hello Art), and curator (many, many shows, including MOCA’s Art in the Streets — the largest graffiti exhibit in America), Roger has done more than almost anyone alive to raise the profile of graffiti. In our interview, we get into the ins and outs of what it takes to build a business out of selling art, the ways the art world is changing, and the ways art is changing the world (see what we did there?). He explains why he won’t sell art to some people, and why graffiti is not one of the four elements of hip-hop.

Dilla, Madlib, MF Doom, Mayer Hawthorne, Aloe Blacc, and Dam Funk then you have Peanut Butter Wolf to thank. We're in studio with the king of the West Coast underground. Through his label, Stones Throw Records, Peanut Butter Wolf has given the world important, and sometimes commercially successful music from J. Dilla, Madlib, MF Doom, Mayer Hawthorne, Aloe Blacc, and Dam Funk, among others. He also crosses genres as if they didn’t exist, taking experimental, or just plain weird explorations into punk, psychedelic and other fringe sounds from folks like James Pants, Vex Ruffin, and Mild High Club. On top of all that, he maintains an active DJ career, a series of Stones Throw events, and was the subject of a 2014 documentary: Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton. And although he has built a successful business — now celebrating its 20th anniversary and revered by music fans for consistently breaking credible and interesting acts — Wolf could hardly be called a businessman (although he is definitely a business, man). He’s much more of a cult leader, gaining (and possibly losing a few) devotees with each new release. How: He simply puts out music that he loves and wants people to hear, flying in the face of the reborn, data-driven music industry.

]]> 4455 yes How to get on Forbes’s Cash Kings list, according to Dave Weiner https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/how-to-get-on-forbes-cash-kings-list-according-to-dave-weiner Dave Weiner is a bit of a paradox in the music business. He comes off as a blue-collar type: unpretentious, straightforward, and honest — all foreign concepts to most of his peers. He runs his business frugally and with an attention to detail that stands in stark contrast to the fanciful way most record companies operate. Instead of just looking for artists with talent, Dave has made his career by finding talent who also know how to do business, often finding regional players who looked like they had what it takes to go nationwide. This distinction has made him integral to building some of hip hop’s biggest powerhouses. First, he discovered Master P and helped him turn No Limit Records into a $200 million-a-year force that seemed unstoppable. Years later, he would join Tech N9ne and help him build his label, Strange Music, into an under-the-radar enterprise that put its founder on the Forbes Magazine Cash Kings list. He’s also been screwed over by “the business” more than most artists — threatened, double-crossed, and overridden. In our interview, he’ll teach us how to bounce back, as well as how to build relationships based on trust and straight talk. On being direct: It’s very hard to look an artist in the eye and say I know you want a $10,000 video to get all the bells and whistles but we’re going to have to cut those bells and whistles. Hopefully you are going to be able to understand it when you get your statement because we sit down and they are able to look at every nickel and dime and how it was spent and that’s when they go, “Man I remember when we were in New York and you said let’s not get that limo, let’s just walk.” All those little things just add up when they’re looking at their statement. That’s when they appreciate it. On having a strong moral compass: For me to do my job I need a boss that has the same goals.

]]> 5955 yes Mr. C on "Get rid of doubt and do the work!" https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/get-rid-of-doubt-and-do-the-work Born in London in the late 60's, C started MCing in London clubs aged 16 & soon earned a reputation as a vivacious rapper working with LWR's Ron Tom, Jasper the Vinyl Junkie & Jazzy M. Mr.C has organised & been resident DJ at: Fantasy ('88), Base (Dungeons '89), Release (91), Harmony (92), Drop (93), Cyclone (94), Vapourspace (94-95), Flavour (The End 95-96), Subterrain (The End 95 -2002), Superfreq (Worldwide 2002-Present) & SuperDiscoFreq (L.A 2010-2013). Mr.C held down a weekly radio show on Kiss 100FM from 93-02 & has presented TV shows for MTV, VH1, VIVA & BBC. Here’s what we loved about Mr. C. He was a teenager in the 80s, in London, and decided he was going to be a white rapper (okay, maybe he didn’t decide to be white, but you know what I mean). He just knew he was going to succeed. And he did. As the frontman of The Shamen, he sold tons of records with hits like “Move Any Mountain” and “Ebenezer Goode.” He toured the world, won awards and was at the forefront of the short-lived hip-house genre, and then went on to be a founder of the tech house genre and of London’s The End nightclub which was said to be among the best nights out in the world. Now, 30 years later, he runs his label Superfreq Records, teaches transcendental meditation and connects with fans with the same spirit of that teenager. He just know it’s all going to work. That’s not to say he doesn’t take the work very seriously.

Mr.C has organised & been resident DJ at: Fantasy ('88), Base (Dungeons '89), Release (91), Harmony (92), Drop (93), Cyclone (94), Vapourspace (94-95), Flavour (The End 95-96), Subterrain (The End 95 -2002), Superfreq (Worldwide 2002-Present) & SuperDiscoFreq (L.A 2010-2013). Mr.C held down a weekly radio show on Kiss 100FM from 93-02 & has presented TV shows for MTV, VH1, VIVA & BBC. Here’s what we loved about Mr. C. He was a teenager in the 80s, in London, and decided he was going to be a white rapper (okay, maybe he didn’t decide to be white, but you know what I mean). He just knew he was going to succeed. And he did. As the frontman of The Shamen, he sold tons of records with hits like “Move Any Mountain” and “Ebenezer Goode.” He toured the world, won awards and was at the forefront of the short-lived hip-house genre, and then went on to be a founder of the tech house genre and of London’s The End nightclub which was said to be among the best nights out in the world. Now, 30 years later, he runs his label Superfreq Records, teaches transcendental meditation and connects with fans with the same spirit of that teenager. He just know it’s all going to work. That’s not to say he doesn’t take the work very seriously. To hear him tell it, he sees his job as less about selling records and more about creating a magical journey that helps people celebrate life. House fans will appreciate the old school references.

]]> 4095 yes Caspa & Rusko on "Do what you love and the rest will follow! https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/caspa-x-rusko Nowadays, a lot of people think of dubstep as the music that plays while drunken frat boys pump their fists. From a Key & Peele parody to a general disdain among dance music fans over 30, dubstep has become somewhat of a whipping boy for EDM. It wasn’t always this way. Once upon a time, dubstep was the underground alternative to the overly commercial direction UK garage took in the mid-2000s. Dubstep was dark, sparse, and a direct link back to the drum & bass roots. Our guests today remember dubstep’s formative days, because they were there. Although the genre was well established in the UK by then, Caspa & Rusko's 2007 collab Fabriclive.37 helped introduce dubstep to audiences around the world. They also know what it’s like to lose the plot. Following the success of Fabriclive.37, they got caught up in touring and their partnership just sort of faded. They never exactly split up, but ended up not working together for more than half a decade. Now, they’re back together and making the kind of music they love, starting with the formidable new single, Blouse an Skirt. Along the way they’ve learned some important lessons about hard work, commitment, and avoiding the trap of making music to satisfy the crowd instead of making what you love. Listen in and learn what we learned. Then leave us a comment and a one-million star review. And don’t forget to come back next week for more.

]]> 3795 yes Chef Roy Choi changed food trucks, social media, and now fast food — with Adam Weissman https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/chef-roy-choi-adam-weissman Adam Weissman is an old friend and an art director at Stüssy, video director for clients such as Nike, one third of the obscure but credible post-trip-hop (we say that as if it’s a thing) band Pollyn, occasional DJ, and aspiring screenwriter. You might call him a restless creative. Today he brings his friend and collaborator Roy Choi — in many ways the most important chef Los Angeles has given the world since Wolfgang Puck — to the Rebel Radio studio. Roy is the man most responsible for transforming food trucks from the lowly all-white roach coaches seen mainly at construction sites into the elevated cultural phenomenon now found on TV, movies, and pretty much every cool corner and workplace in America. He and his partners at the Kogi truck empire not only gave most Americans their first taste of Korean food, but are a driving force in the democratization of gourmet food. And also possibly the first food brand built in social media. The two often work on projects together. On today’s show, the renaissance man, the world’s first hip-hop chef, and your humble host explore what it takes to do meaningful work and build a fan base in the process. “We didn’t know what it was and we didn’t know what we were going to do next but we just knew in that moment that something was happening. I knew that the food was good. I had this confidence and a little bit of a swagger like, “Yo, you’re going to eat this shit and love it.” No substitutions and I don’t what to hear nothing. Then as I saw them eating it my sensitive side was picking up on all of these little sound bites and emotions. “What the fuck them Asians doing up in the truck?” Everyone curious. The bigger dudes calling the girls over and saying, “I’m going to buy everyone a taco right here.” And so there was all this weird energy happening and I knew that we hit something at that moment because everyone was engaged.” - Roy Choi, on the first night on the Kogi Truck. “I try not to overthink it. I just try to do what feels right. If it feels right, cool. If it doesn’t throw it away and start again, do something else.” - Adam Weissman, on trusting your gut. “There was no agenda. We weren’t looking for followers. We weren’t looking for attention. We just stumbled upon this thing and we were messing around with it and I think because of that that was very powerful... Things definitely go viral still. It’s so saturated sometimes no one is doing anything original and it’s just selfies and all this shit all this fucking trash that nothing is coming through.

In our interview, Rennie explains what’s behind his motto “Fuck the Gatekeepers” and how he puts that to work in his own business. He explains why real artists need to “Get the Money,” and he shares the secret to his success: “I quit six times a week and start seven.” In other words, keep showing up.

]]> 5235 yes Rude Jude says if you talk ghetto make sure you dress white, & other keys to landing your own show. https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/rude-jude Rude Jude calls himself a shock jock. If you listen to him on the All Out Show on Sirius Radio’s Shade 45, you’ll hear him get into fights and adopt a generally surly demeanor between popular hip hop tracks. The Floyd Mayweather beef is particularly entertaining, and, frankly, even more poignant than Michael Rapaport calling him Floyd Kardashian, which is also kinda dope. If you read his memoir, Hyena — or better yet, listen to the audiobook to hear Jude read it in his captivating voice — you’ll hear him take his shock jockery to unprecedented levels in true accounts of his exploits of degrading sex and drug abuse. In our interview, Jude comes across much less calculated than the shock jock term implies. This man is without pretense, often to his own detriment. In response to my comment that most people who’ve been through the kinds of things he has keep to themselves, he says, “Those are the smart people. Those are the people who can keep a girlfriend." But it’s working for Rude Jude. He was hand-picked by Eminem to host what has become the channel’s #1 show, and has kept that job for 11 years. Hyena has been optioned for a show at HBO that Jude is currently writing, in addition to a second book. Along the way he’s learned some incredible lessons: On getting out of his comfort zone: If you’re comfortable you’re not growing. Keep putting yourself in situations where you’re uncomfortable.” On the power of a job well done: Anything I do you got to do that shit 100%. My poles at the strip club were clean as fuck. On knowing his strengths: Everybody has an advantage. Figure that shit out and leverage it. It’s like X-Men characters you got to figure out your shit and work it. I’m the crazy don’t give a fuck white dude. I know that shit and it looks like a fucking pedophile. It works for me. I leverage it as much as possible. Oh, and on East Coast rap: You ain’t done shit dope since the 90’s. Like there’s 10 million people in your city, think about it per capita how wack you are. Fucking lames. And then you can’t say, “Oh we invented rap.” Fucking 40 years ago. What have you done lately? Nothing.

]]> 4785 yes Can you recognize greatness immediately? Paul Stewart on House of Pain, Pharcyde, & Warren G https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/1st-draft-paul-stewart-project As an entertainment business entrepreneur, Paul Stewart has done it all. He’s started multiple companies. He’s worked in music, film, fashion, and now books. He’s had years with multiple mega-hits, and years where he just barely scraped by. His story is about the struggle: Wake up everyday and hustle. Stay true to what you know. Connect with good people. Be generous. Never stop fighting. Here are just a few of the gems that come out of our interview: On the keys to his success: “I got down differently than other people. I thought the parties were important. I do some of my best networking running the streets at night and connecting with people.” On the people running major record labels: “They are not creative people, so they hire uncreative people underneath them and its like, ego driven maniacs, nepotism and just unqualified.” The problem with book publishers: “There is just so much institutionalized racism in regards to urban culture and hip hop and things like that. It’s just a lack of understanding of what people are interested in because they are not in touch with this world. Most of the people that are the decision makers have a total disconnect to urban culture.

He’s started multiple companies. He’s worked in music, film, fashion, and now books. He’s had years with multiple mega-hits, and years where he just barely scraped by. His story is about the struggle: Wake up everyday and hustle. Stay true to what you know. Connect with good people. Be generous. Never stop fighting. Here are just a few of the gems that come out of our interview: On the keys to his success: “I got down differently than other people. I thought the parties were important. I do some of my best networking running the streets at night and connecting with people.” On the people running major record labels: “They are not creative people, so they hire uncreative people underneath them and its like, ego driven maniacs, nepotism and just unqualified.” The problem with book publishers: “There is just so much institutionalized racism in regards to urban culture and hip hop and things like that. It’s just a lack of understanding of what people are interested in because they are not in touch with this world. Most of the people that are the decision makers have a total disconnect to urban culture.

]]> 5955 yes How to reinvent your career while you’re on top, plus lessons from Ice Cube, LL Cool J, and Tupac https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/qdiii-on Our guest, Quincy Jones III aka QDIII - Producer and digital/tech entrepreneur. You might not exactly say he came from humble beginnings, as the son of perhaps the greatest music producer the world has known. Young Quincy got to sit in on recording sessions for Michael Jackson's Thriller and tag along with big Quincy backstage with jazz and r&b greats. But, as he puts it, "I had the luxury in my opinion of growing up rich and poor,” spending most of his childhood with his mother in a working class home in Sweden. There, he learned to hustle on his own, as well as to take his talents to the streets, literally, as a champion breakdancer. Before moving back to the States, Quincy had released his first hit song and had already embraced the idea of reinvention, pivoting from dancing to making music. From there, the story just gets more interesting. From being immersed among the pioneers of hip hop to becoming a close friend and collaborator to 2Pac before his death, Quincy found himself at the epicenter of the culture. Next pivot: He leaves production behind and becomes a filmmaker, having tremendous success as one of the genre’s leading documentarians, most notably with the Beef DVD series that chronicled hip hop conflicts from LL and Ice-T to Biggie and 2Pac. And now he’s embarking on a new career developing technologies that leverage his vast experience in entertainment. His first app Wemes (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wemes-create-share-video-memes/id1023485444?mt=8) launched last month. Listen to learn how he’s done all of that, what he learned from mentors like LL Cool J and Ice Cube, and what motivates him to keep going.

"Who are Greats, and what’s a Babenzien,” you ask? We finna tell you. Greats is a great, ahem, sneaker brand out of Brooklyn. Did you hear us? Brooklyn. That right there should tell you it’s great. Ryan and his team are making classic sneaker designs with high-end materials and craftsmanship, the kind of shoe you get for $400 at Barneys or whatever, except these ain’t at no store and they don’t cost no $400. Greats is pioneering a direct-to-consumer business for sneakers, maybe the first one out there doing it. This means you can’t buy them in stores and don’t pay the markups that are typical at retail stores. You buy them at Greats.com and get a lot more for the money. We're bringing you the future right here. But this also means that Ryan and the rest of the Greats crew have to really be on their shit when it comes to marketing and building a brand. Ain’t no Al Bundy selling shoes out there for him. He has to hit you on the Twitter or Instagram or whatever and make you want to click that buy button. We’re gonna find out how they do it. And why. And we’re giving away a pair of Greats shoes to one lucky listener. Follow us on Twitter to find out how to win.

Wild Style is (are?) Richard’s tribute to the 80s dance genre freestyle. Think Exposé, Cover Girls, Trinere. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, look it up. But while the duo of Frankie and Sonja is definitely a throwback, there’s something very current about them at the same time. They’re sexy and playful and seem like they’re built for Instagram, and Richard’s production updates the freestyle sound with classic house influences that allow them to fit in on dance floors around the world. We have fun talking about flirting with boys, flirting with girls, and the rigors of not only trying to blow up but also to do something that’s meaningful for themselves.

]]> 1695 yes Secrets for building a career that lasts decades, c/o Richard Vission https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/richard-vission Our guest this week is Richard Vission.  He’s a DJ, remixer, producer, label owner, club promoter. He’s host of Power Tools — the longest running dance music mix show in the country. He’s worked with megastars from Lady Gaga and Madonna to Major Lazer. And he’s made hits for multiple generations of dance artists — from Crystal Waters and Martha Wash in the 90s to Luciana and his latest discovery, the neo-freestyle duo Wild Style. Did we just coin a new genre? We think so. It might not surprise you, then, that our interview explores how Richard built a career that spans multiple decades, how he’s weathered the ups and downs and managed to stay engaged and energized. For one, you’ll learn that he’s in it because he loves the music and not for the trappings of success. You’ll also learn how he’s honed his craft and learned to accept and seek out feedback that helps him get better and better.

It’s a short interview because we taped right before the film started, but they dropped some nuggets on us before the lights went down, and they promised to come back and do the full interview next time they’re in Los Angeles. If you don’t know, the Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito show was on the air from 1990-1998 on New York’s WKCR. Despite — or maybe because of — the show’s unusual airtime (1:00 - 5:00 AM), Stretch and Bobbito had an enormous impact on rap music around the world. They brought everyone who was anyone in East Coast rap at the time and featured freestyles and unreleased verses from folks like Nas, Jay-Z, Biggie, Big L, Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep… Outside of New York, the rest of us discovered the show from friends who sent cassette tapes around the world: The original hood internet, as Stretch says. In studio, they drop knowledge about why their show couldn’t happen today and why digging is so important for the development of culture. Stretch also talks about what it means to be a tastemaker and how he has continued to be one of hip hop’s most important DJs for over two decades. By the way, the movie is dope. Very very dope.

In this episode you will find snippets of music from A Tribe Called Quest, Run DMC, and Blackstreet. And the EDM.com Track of the Week is Gallant – Weight in Gold: https://soundcloud.com/lavish/gallant-weight-in-gold What’s the time? It’s time to get smart. Oliver Wang is a Ph.D. That’s French for smarter than you. He’s also a DJ, which means he’s cooler than you. You’re just lucky he’s not taller than you. He wrote a book on a topic everyone in the world can relate to: Filipino mobile DJ crews in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1980s. Okay, so maybe Legions of Boom is a bit of a niche title, but it’s a great book about a short era in music history that would go on to have a huge impact on turntablism and hip hop on a global scale, launching the careers of Q-Bert — possibly the world’s most influential DJ — and Mixmaster Mike, who would go on to tour the world with the Beastie Boys. What’s more, he watched me on stage with breakdancing icon Crazy Legs when we were judging the 1995 DMC DJ Championship regional semi-finals. Ah, the glory! Professor Wang not only chronicles his tribulations as a record collector, he also helps us understand the science behind making music for love, not money.

Oliver Wang is a Ph.D. That’s French for smarter than you. He’s also a DJ, which means he’s cooler than you. You’re just lucky he’s not taller than you. He wrote a book on a topic everyone in the world can relate to: Filipino mobile DJ crews in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1980s. Okay, so maybe Legions of Boom is a bit of a niche title, but it’s a great book about a short era in music history that would go on to have a huge impact on turntablism and hip hop on a global scale, launching the careers of Q-Bert — possibly the world’s most influential DJ — and Mixmaster Mike, who would go on to tour the world with the Beastie Boys. What’s more, he watched me on stage with breakdancing icon Crazy Legs when we were judging the 1995 DMC DJ Championship regional semi-finals. Ah, the glory!

]]> 4545 yes The Baka Boyz on dominating hip hop radio since the 90s https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/1st-draft-baka-boyz-project-091515 Check out this week's episode with The Baka Boyz. In this episode you will hear the EDM.COM track of the week from IshDARR - Sugar : https://soundcloud.com/lavish/ishdarr-sugar-prod-medasin And music from Rick James, Pet Shop Boys, Volume 10, Major Lazer, Outkast, Cypress Hill, and AC Slater. Nick V. says Josh Levine is guarded. He might be right. But next to him, everyone seems guarded. He’s the outgoing half of a brother-brother duo who has dominated the airwaves in Los Angeles and around the country for nearly two decades. After moving from nearby Bakersfield, the Vidal brothers changed the sound of LA radio, from the mix show to the morning drive. They introduced Tito — one of LA’s most beloved characters — and helped to discover Big Boy, who would go on to run the morning show for 18 years. Their new show, The Hip Hop Master Mix, is syndicated in over 30 markets. They’ve been important contributors to the Latin hip hop scene, collaborating with OG’s like Mellow Man Ace, ALT, and Lighter Shade of Brown. They also produced the hit single “Pistol Grip Pump” for Volume 10. Perhaps most impressively, they still talk to each other after all these years. Their secret: Stay in your lane. Nick does what he does; Eric does what he does. They also seek outside help from time to time. Learn more about their impressive career path, as well as adventures with Pitbull, MC Hammer, and more.

]]> 4635 yes Dave Nadelberg on building Mortified Nation into a nationally watched event https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/1st-draft-dave-nadelberg-090815 Imagine getting up in front of a room full of strangers and telling them your most private, most embarrassing secrets. You read from pages of your childhood diary, pages that don’t particularly make you look good. And then those strangers erupt in applause. You’ve not only made them laugh, you made them feel a little better about themselves, their flaws, and secrets. You’ve soothed their fears that they each may be the only weirdo in the room. Imagine doing this night after night, in city after city, and getting thousands of others to do the same thing. That’s what Dave Nadelberg does. He’s the leader of the Mortified Nation, who — in a series of live events around the country, on podcasts, and even on Netflix — are more than willing to spill their guts for your entertainment and catharsis. In our interview, we explore his journey from frustrated creative to reluctant folk hero, learning some important lessons along the way: - How he uses his community to keep him true to the brand - Where he draws the lines of political correctness - When to let Hollywood in, and when to keep it out I hope you’ll join us on this journey.

]]> 4725 yes DJ Adam 12: What I learned playing for Obama, Madonna, Prince, and Christina Aguilera https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/ep-12-dj-adam-12 Welcome to the 12th episode of Rebel Radio. Adam 12 sees people at their best, and at their worst. He sees them from the DJ booth, having the time of their lives on the dance floor, living their culture; and he sees them turnt up, twisted, too distracted by social media to really enjoy themselves. That’s what it’s like when you live behind the decks for multiple decades. Adam is Obama’s DJ after having DJed for Christina Aguilera, Prince, Madonna, and just about every hot party in Los Angeles. We did a party together where he consistently murdered, often making fools of DJs with much bigger names. He’s a hip hop kid, but also half of the dark wave band She Wants Revenge. His secrets to success: 1. Do what you love. Whether it’s photography or different styles of music, if it moves you, you have to explore it. 2. Put the phone down. His newest club night doesn’t allow photos at all, so celebrities can be themselves and everyone can be present. 3. If you don’t like the way it is, build your own thing. Frustration with the LA club scene led him to create his own party, which is not only fun for him but for his guests as well.

In this episode you will find snippets of music from The Pharcyde, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, and WC. The EDM.com Track of the Week is Morris by King Mez: https://soundcloud.com/hip-hop/king-mez-morris Man, Terry Heller has seen some shit. As a teenager, he hung around with NWA. (His uncle Jerry was NWA’s infamous manager played by Paul Giammati in Straight Outta Compton.) Fresh out of high school Terry went to work for Eazy-E, finding talent like the group that would become the Black Eyed Peas and shooting videos for Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. After years as a successful music video director and real estate developer, Terry opened Plan Check — an updated spin on the all-American burger joint that quickly won lots of awards and has become a favorite of LA foodies. In this episode, Terry shares some NWA stories and insight into how he’s built his career. And it goes a little something like this: 1. Have no fear. He learned that by watching Eazy, maybe the most fearless person ever. There’s no limit on what you can accomplish if you believe you can. 2. Reinvent. When Plan A no longer worked for Terry, he didn’t sit around wishing it would change; he moved on to Plan B, and then to Plan Check (see what I did there?!). 3. Fake it ’til you make it. Terry uses his fear of being found a fraud to push himself to work harder. Is that what you do or do you let it slow you down? Any thoughts on the episode? Did you see Straight Outta Compton?

In this episode you will find snippets of music from NWA, Dr Dre, Daft Punk, and more. The EDM.com Track of the Week is Tiga - Bugatti (Tommy Trash Remix)https://soundcloud.com/edm/tiga-bugatti-tommy-trash-remix-edmcom-premiere. Don’t forget to follow, comment, and share. Mike B is a trip. He’s known as a DJ’s DJ, which means he’s a talented selector who can cross genres and command dance floors in a variety of environments. After apprenticing under hip hop mix show pioneer Stretch Armstrong of Stretch & Bobbito fame, he left the gritty New York scene and returned to his hometown of LA to launch one of the most influential events in nightlife history - Banana Split - with partners DJ AM (RIP) and Steve Aoki (Dim Mak Records). Mike as a personality comes off as a cross between a Serious Musician and The Fat Jew; at times earnest about the love for music that has driven him since before he was a teen, at others cavalier about his occasional quests for drugs and sex (boy does this man have stories!). Amid the reminiscing about his come-up, and about that one time when he was the DJ at my wedding, Mike gave us three valuable lessons that anyone embarking on a passion-based career should take seriously. These three lessons came from specific points in Mike's career - 'Be Fearless' learned while producing Snoop Dogg's reality TV show 'Fatherhood,' 'Work as hard as it takes' learned while dj'ing a world famous event he helped curate and create, and 'Find a need, then fill it,' learned while exploring the music scene of Paris and figuring ways to bring that style and energy to LA.

In this episode you will find snippets of music from NWA, Dr Dre, Daft Punk, and more. The EDM.com Track of the Week is Tiga - Bugatti (Tommy Trash Remix)https://soundcloud.com/edm/tiga-bugatti-tommy-trash-remix-edmcom-premiere. Don’t forget to follow, comment, and share. Mike B is a trip. He’s known as a DJ’s DJ, which means he’s a talented selector who can cross genres and command dance floors in a variety of environments. After apprenticing under hip hop mix show pioneer Stretch Armstrong of Stretch & Bobbito fame, he left the gritty New York scene and returned to his hometown of LA to launch one of the most influential events in nightlife history - Banana Split - with partners DJ AM (RIP) and Steve Aoki (Dim Mak Records). Mike as a personality comes off as a cross between a Serious Musician and The Fat Jew; at times earnest about the love for music that has driven him since before he was a teen, at others cavalier about his occasional quests for drugs and sex (boy does this man have stories!). Amid the reminiscing about his come-up, and about that one time when he was the DJ at my wedding, Mike gave us three valuable lessons that anyone embarking on a passion-based career should take seriously. These three lessons came from specific points in Mike's career - 'Be Fearless' learned while producing Snoop Dogg's reality TV show 'Fatherhood,' 'Work as hard as it takes' learned while dj'ing a world famous event he helped curate and create, and 'Find a need, then fill it,' learned while exploring the music scene of Paris and figuring ways to bring that style and energy to LA.

]]> 2640 yes AMG on how the rap game is all a show (but he had fun doing it!) https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/ep-5-rapper-amg-on-how-the-rap-game-is-all-a-show-but-he-had-fun-doing-it This week’s guest is AMG, the rapper. In this episode you will find snippets of music from DJ Quik, Eazy-E, Fila Fresh Crew, and New Edition. And our EDM.com Track of the Week is from TroyBoi: Do you ft. Armani White. Check out our EP 5: Playlist to hear all of the songs featured. In 1991, AMG released “Bitch Better Have My Money,” a furious combination of sexual energy, teenage bravado, and soul and hip hop samples that set dance floors on-fire across the country. With no video and no radio support, the song spent 50 consecutive weeks on the Billboard charts. The song’s title, recently appropriated by Rhianna for her own single, has remained part of the urban lexicon for more than two decades. Then, he lost the plot. He lost the fire. After a solid debut album, he made a follow-up that even he didn’t like, bounced back once in a short-lived partnership with DJ Quik, called The Fixxers, and has since taken his time to rediscover his passion and what really moves him to create. We talk about all of this, plus that one time when he was a guest at my wedding. Enjoy. And if you do enjoy, share.
