We're bringing the tempo up this week as we welcome CHYL, a DJ / producer on the rise who is making a unique brand of speed house inspired by classic EDM and Formula 1 racing. Hailing from Vancouver by way of China, CHYL left her full-time job on Wall Street to pursue her dreams as a musician. In record time she graduated from ICON Collective and released high-energy music that caught the attention of industry legends like Steve Aoki, who signed several of her tracks to his label Dim Mak. We chill with CHYL and talk about why Formula 1 racing is an inspiration of hers, how the drivers are hunky European dudes, the culture shock of growing up in China versus Vancouver, how Friends and iCarly were instrumental in her life, working a brutal Wall Street job out of college, discovering her love for dance music through NYC club culture, why Asian parents force their kids to play instruments but are against them becoming musicians, what it's like getting a cake thrown at you by Steve Aoki, turning dance music into a full-fledged career, and an insane story of how she almost got scammed by a manager into being in a Chinese EDM girl group.

I love working in the music industry however, I also understand that it is usually a long road to get to where you want to be in your career. With that being said, I think that it is extremely important for us all, at some point, to put both feet in and fully commit to what we want to achieve. Will it still take a lot of dedication, hard work, and patience in order to get there? Of course it will! But in reality, we really only have two choices on HOW we can to get there.  We can A: Be miserable and impatient and work ourselves to death because we convince ourselves that is the only way to become successful  Or B: We can relax and allow ourselves to still experience the life that is going on around us.  Which one would you rather have? Option B right?  Well so did our guest on the show today, FORBES, who is a house music producer from Arizona, who is also currently finishing up his last semester at ICON Collective, and who even got to play EDC last year going back to back with DVRKO.  In this episode he explains how he has sacrificed his path to playing Professional Hockey in order to put both feet in on his true passion of making music and why he believes that you should never think about having a backup plan even when it will take some time for you to achieve all of your goals. And, more importantly, how he has learned to enjoy the little things along the way.  Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/431215927995257/?ref=share Society Selects: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/28aag7ZckmpuFJEllz16Um?si=9c5844692dc8408d Follow ForbesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/forbesmusic/Twitter: https://twitter.com/FORBESMUSIC_SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/forbes-grant-ploszajSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2wbhLoRJsRW28tuYOo5DTY?si=JmYUc6tYTtyrOIGXmwy-4A Show Sponsorhttp://magazine.eraofedm.com/ Underground SocietyInstagram: www.instagram.com/undergroundsociety.edm/Facebook: www.facebook.com/UndergroundSociety.edmTwitter: twitter.com/UGSPod_EDM Personal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justinjmcgary/?hl=en Website: www.undergroundsocietypodcast.comSupport the show

180 features one of the biggest rising stars in house music Ranger Trucco!! I caught up with Ranger over Zoom and had so much fun getting his full story In 180 we discussed: •Early days in music: Ranger is originally from Traverse City, MI (allll the way up there) and has been a lover of music his whole life. His older brother started DJing in high school and Ranger quickly fell in love with the art of DJing. After one year at Oregon, he decided he wanted to pursue music as more than a hobby and transferred to the famous music production school Icon Collective where he took his passion to the next level. The rest is history! 

FIRE EPISODE ALERT!! The man behind the Beats and Bad Dreams himself, NGHTMRE (Tyler Marenyi), sat down with us in our fancy gaming chairs to discuss his explosion onto the scene and how he has maintained that momentum for several years now.

Next, we discuss the mental and physical toll of touring for year after year and what playing over 100+ shows a year will do to a nice young DJ. When is it okay to take time for yourself, away from fans and shows? Tyler, Tony, and Sean debate what has kept NGHTMRE at the top of gigantic lineups such as EDC, Ultra, even Disco Donnie events. A new album from the legend trap producer is on the horizon as well (Dreamverse?!?!), featuring another collab with dubstep icons Zeds Dead, a new one with Virtual Riot, and more to look forward to.

Today's episode opens with a story David was telling as we were setting up to record. It's so good that we kept it in the show. The beginning is cut off, but the setup is that he went to Ultra Music Festival one year with no ticket and no expectations whether he would get in or what kind of experience he would have if he did. His only rule: Don't ask for anything, just give. I won't spoil the end of the story — you'll hear it in the episode — but I will say it was a great window into David's approach as an entrepreneur and human being and a great lesson about the rewards of always looking to be of service. Lots of other great stories in this episode as we track David's journey in building the Icon Collective, an amazing music production school in LA and online (https://iconcollective.edu). Lots to learn from this one. If you liked this one, check out our interview with Morse Code: https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/dj-morse-code-how-to-struggle

Show Notes: edmprod.com/140 This week, PLS&TY sat down to chat on the EDM Prodcast. PLS&TY is a DJ and producer known for his pop-influenced dance records. Getting his start with viral remixes, he's now hit #1 on the US iTunes electronic charts three times, and he's also been remixed by industry heavyweights including Morgan Page, Rusko, Cazzette, and more. We start off with PLS&TY's background, discussing his evolution from DJing into production. We discuss why he avoided DJing until he had his own original music, and what his growth strategy was early on in the project. He also talks about why he dropped out of film school after one semester, as well as his main takeaways from attending the Icon Collective music school in LA. On the production side, we discuss how PLS&TY found his unique signature style. We talk about how he blew up off a throwaway track, and how he dealt with the expectations that came with that track's success. We also look at his approach for finding unique samples, getting creative with layering, and adding organic textures into his music. Later on, PLS&TY discusses how he's using the pandemic to reset and focus on his personal health, an invaluable lesson during this turbulent time. He also offers his advice for artists who want to write vocal driven music but struggle to find quality original vocals.

I first ran across Joe Caputo's work during some random YouTubing, where his "Voltage Control Lab" was a real eye-opener - especially for a few under-supported modules like the Ornaments and Crime. Shortly thereafter, I ran into him at the NAMM show, where I got a VCL button from him - and the rest of the history is in the podcast... Joe has pivoted the show into a live show-and-tell-and-interview format, but has also been very active in the educational realm as well - most notably as an instructor at Musician's Institute and Icon Collective. He also continues producing music (as Computo), and... I assume he's taking a nap occasionally or something! In our chat, we talk about education, video production (and production burnout), collaboration and the primacy of music-making. We also talk a bit about 'getting out', sharing your work, and being open to new experiences. Very interesting and inspiring. You can check out his personal thing at https://iamcomputo.wordpress.com/. Voltage Control Lab is at https://www.voltagecontrollab.com/, or on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9y4nruLDg5DYgzEn8bJxxA. Enjoy!

The last thing Aidan remembers of December 4, 2015 was getting into a friend’s car for a sleepover. He doesn’t recall their car reaching speeds of 80 mph in a residential area. That the driver, who was under the influence, lost control of the car. That they hit a brick wall. Head on. Aidan was not wearing a seatbelt and his head first dented the dashboard and then shattered the windshield. Found unconscious, he was rushed to the trauma center. His diagnosis? Diffuse axonal injury; severe traumatic brain injury. His prognosis? Grim. Aidan warns teens against the dangers of drinking and driving. Teens don’t believe such a catastrophic accident is possible; they are, after all, testing their limits. His biggest piece of advice is to always protect yourself and your friends. Despite being told he wouldn’t attend school until the following September, Aidan went to school the day after he was discharged from inpatient rehabilitation. Aidan simply wanted to be an ordinary teen. His mindset was “I’m going to get better. I truly believe that this will not hold me back in life.” Although his injury continues to impact his daily life, he wanted to push the limits and test his abilities. Returning to school was challenging. He was treated differently and felt like an outsider, even around life-long friends. Not to mention, he was simply exhausted. Able to maintain concentration for only 15 minutes at a time, effective learning and completing homework were impossible. What is it like to be a 16-year-old boy recovering from a brain injury? “It’s tough. There’s no doubt about that.” Aidan was afraid of almost everything. He feared living with this brain injury for the rest of his life and being unable to pursue his dreams. That his future was so unknown was terrifying. Aidan questioned everything that he did. Aidan experienced severe, uncontrollable anger for months following the crash hurting those who loved him the most and resulting in the loss of friendships. Yet another loss as a result of his injury. Afraid to return to his high school for senior year, Aidan finished high school in Viterbo, Italy. Aidan was seeking his own path forward, looking for a way to diminish the stress of feeling like an outsider. The change in culture was an amazing, life-changing experience. It opened Aidan’s mind to the larger world awaiting him. The experience was instrumental to his recovery. Upon his return from Italy, Aidan’s applied to and was accepted at ICON Collective, a year-long music production academy. Aidan struggles with depression and considered suicide on a number of occasions. Knowing that tomorrow is another day kept Aidan moving forward. At every turn, he reflected on accepting change and seeking opportunity. Realizing that life can change in an instant – for the better – was reassuring. He stayed true to himself, kept pushing forward and accepted that he will feel sad. He acknowledged that mental healing takes time and effort. Aidan’s dad came out as gay two months before the car accident. Aidan struggled with knowing this would change his life, day to day, how he lived, and how he viewed the world. Aidan was angry with the world, angry with having to deal with his brain injury, having to move, and the inevitable change in his life. Aidan loves his dad deeply yet admits taking out some of his anger on him. He aims to reach as many as he can in the hopes that his experiences help transform their life for the better. He hopes people can come out of their shells and show who they really are and push for greatness. “Every single human can achieve greatness – whether they have a brain injury, learning disability, or a challenging situation. You can turn anything into gold.” Resources An Unexpected Launch
