you guys having me I cannot wait for this episode and talk about just anything and everything with you guys what's up everybody always good to have you back on Chris and uh Fam I'm so excited to have you on too because I got to see your set live for the first time at the Gold Rush DJ competition last year 2024 and you brought brought it you were shaking the dang house and so I was really excited to see that then I got to meet you in person super cool Vibes uh we started to talk on Instagram and I just love your enthusiasm and connection to the music that you play and the crowd and the energy that it creates and so we wanted to bring you on to share that energy with our audience here on ready VIP and you get to be our VIP this episode so what's going on with f what is been your 2025 like so it's been a really good start to the year so far I have a couple things lined up my next upcoming show is next Saturday actually a week today on the 25th opening for Versa nice really Havey show so you guys are free I'll be there I'll be there but oh Chris has his tickets he hasn't shut up about it this is oh yeah he said you were the headliner so I mean Versa who sorry it's I've been waiting for for it's it's been about two months since we got announced for that show so it's been just the anticipation leading up to has been building up and I'm so excited for it but it's just been it's been a good 2025 just figure out life outside of Music work school and all that so it's been a good start but just the end of 20124 leading into this year has just been incredible I'm sure if you guys remember decadence that was yes seeing messages from you guys saying I couldn't get in because I maxed the capacity out there no more headphones amazing what was your color because it was all that color let's be real it was amazing and just seeing the fact that it was closed before then because of the midnight drop and then right back into a full pack crowd at 12:15 a.m. swarmed swarmed I've never not been able to get into essentially a silent disco area right I mean call it give it whatever marketing spin you want but like occasionally you get somebody in there who throws the hell down like man you did it was just like when we sell it for the gold R competition but obviously like each time like there's more and more and more like someday fam's going to Red Line out but I don't know I'll be there I appreciate that yeah we had our decadence Rec AP last episode so we don't need to get too deep into the Weeds about our experience other than it was incredible but I would love to hear about some of your favorite sets as the weeken as a DJ listening to the artist because you know you have a different appreciation for the transitions for the song selection for you know the visuals and the amount of artistry that goes into it and I think a lot of people don't necessarily understand the amount of finesse required to mix Bass songs to mix Mi heavy stuff because they don't always you know syn up that's a really good point because that's a big thing I have like just picked up everything to start DJing it's just the natural habit of okay what is this person on stage doing and why are you doing this oh that was nice that was kind of weird that was cool always a thing that's in my head now when I'm at shows when I'm not playing it can be annoying at times it's harder to enjoy certain shows here and there but it's always cool to analyze it especially it's when I'm learning something new I'm like oh that's a really cool thing that person did I'm going to try that when I go home and see if I can add that to to my tool that's something that I picked up a lot of D some of my favorite artists of all time were there um sudden death the first day was yes amazing he tore it down and then right after my set I went right into isoxo who is my biggest biggest inspiration of all time um his energy on stage is how I present myself I learned it off from him the Wy mixes his music just him in general is always very inspirational for me so seeing all of those artists and seeing some of my best friends first edition throwing down my best friend and Mentor desert Hydra throwing down at the ball drop it was this cool it was a good it's a good Community out here seeing all of my best friends play these stages and seeing some of my biggest Inspirations in one area did you have an higho like ID in your mix at the sty of this I I had a couple he always tend to have three or four of his songs in my sets just because my em yeah you never know he's gonna walk around and be like he I'm gonna go check that out right isoxo um incredible and then the whole ISO KN 2 collab recently just talk about setting your ears on fire I've been listening to that album his the new not to album dropped yesterday and I've listened to it six times already I was just in San Diego for I for that Big Show they had in their Hometown easily one of the best shows ever the whole setup of the stage they created their introductions opening support cast everything about it just so inspirational and ever since that weekend has just inspired me even more to just keep getting better at mcraft so someday be like eventually like them I love that uh and you mentioned sudden death as well and sudden death's mellow death collab with marshmallow is is one of my all-time favorite like talk about Duality and music it if you look at it on Spotify it's just green check marks all the way down because it all made it into my workout playlist it's just like adrenaline adrenaline adrenaline adrenaline I agree I saw them when they first did it at that EDC 2023 debut how that it's just incredible seeing that live and it's incredible seeing especially such a nce genre like rhym it's a very under ground underappreciated joh and seeing that at a big stage like circuit grounds with with the screens all around you it was amazing and marshmallow is so much more fun when he's thr dub that it just brings the energy up even more I've been craving a marshmallow set ever since that one so oh me too we expect a little bit of dubstep mixed in there in the next show coming up yeah oh yeah the next show is probably one of my heaviest sets I'm playing because whole lineup is dubstep it's be fun I have been on a sudden death Bender lately listen to a lot of his music again so we'll hear next weekend super excited for that and it sounds like we're talking a little bit about some of your favorite artist and influences um and we've mentioned isoxo and sudden death are there any other artists that you that just really speak to you want to give us a top five I love a top five list easily so my biggest top Inspirations for me personally are a lot of my good friends around here in the scene that have just helped me awesome taught me and just inspired me do a lot more my best friend desert Hydra he taught desert Hydra he taught me basically everything I needed to learn about the DJ when I got booked for my my first show I didn't know what I was doing he helped me get everything ready for that one my second biggest one would be lamba one of my biggest inspiration for music he makes amazing music and he threw down last week at at the van be and he just dropped a song with Whi cream on Spotify he is amazing who else is there one of my good friends Zeus nice very underrated artist he makes some beautiful music check him out we were just sharing his music in our little secret Rave daddy chat the other day so um Jeremy our our Like official wook mascot and friend uh he is always blessing our ears with some of the filthiest uh Rhythm and dubstep and wobble you can uh muster and he sends the album to me and I was like oh oh this is delicious and so I just started scooping it up like caviar man and green check marks all the way down 100% even first edition Dax I know you yes my big big trap brother trap is a very underrated genre out here now and he is my best friend that loves trap to death with me so those will with my biggest Inspirations locally especially okay so that's a top five local and that's a huge shout out love to be able to help represent the local uh DJs and music scene and in general the platform we have a a firm believing here at ready viip that if we give you guys the opportunity uh to have this platform that you will use it to lift each other up and so that is exactly what we're hoping to hear but let's peel back the layer because that's a top five local I want to go a little bit deeper give me the good top five give me the spicy top five give me the top five that we can tag in some that's a great question top five number one 100% would be ISO okay yep yep yep can't beat that isoo will be for sure number one number two oh that's a good one number two spot's always harder than number one you got your favorite special in your heart but then number two comes along and you're like could they be number one H number two honestly would be lennium yeah very nice EDM I am a huge sad boy at heart that is my go to elenni always in biggest one for me EDM sad boys yeah okay he got me into this EDM in general nice and my first ever Music Festival was seeing him live so he has special place in my heart number three even in the same ballpark slander be a big one yes excellent choice number four for M here my big Rhythm heart will always infect one of the best the Rhythm Dawn i' be my number four and then number five would be cider death okay I like that's a heavy top five man yep I like it I think it was uh very choice you know it it shows a lot of your influences I think that's good too I mean like I love it when local DJs play local music and when you can put that side by side next to somebody like sudden death or isoxo not only is it just a huge comeuppance for another DJ but mat you belong there and it feels good it really does yeah so um we talked a little bit about your next shows what's the year ahead look like for you do you have any big plans any tour you want to do any show you really want to see so I recently submitted a mix to try to get a CH to play um Dan estopia nice yeah they're doing this big thing called The Yellow Brick rad tour where they're choosing finalist kind of like the goter competition but they're stopping in major cities in throughout the US and they're doing like a mini competition and then kind of the same time winner will be able to play the festival so that's something I'm still waiting on for the most part they're coming to Phoenix at the end of February so soon we'll see about that and then other than that just kind of playing it by I have a smaller book um that on the 7th of February um on no at Varsity opening for one of my friends opon who's one of the bigger rhym local ders out here um that all the money that get ra that gets raised for that show is going straight to the LA fires so that' be a cool little kind of Charity fun event we doing with some of my friends um and besides that nothing too crazy just I have some small shows in the works right now for later in the spring but currently my biggest biggest thing for 2025 is just starting to learn how to make music 2024 my biggest priority was just getting to the ropes of DJing learning the the craft of DJing just strictly how to mix music and make cool mixes and everything but my biggest biggest goal is to start just dipping my toes into making music and it's not even like oh I need 10 full tracks of I own by then this is more of like okay let me learn how to make this how do I make a mash up of two songs how do I learn how to make edits of this vocal of this song with this cool song and combine it so have that I feel like will a lot of me just keep the ball rolling and just get myself to the next level as a musician love that and it's good to have those goals to set you know that growth path for you because even if it's a slow process or you it gets harder you know every time you're like I'm going to learn something new this should be a breeze and then you get into it and it's not there's like a thousand things you didn't know about there's 1500 things you have to learn before you can get to the things you don't know about it's a lot but the courage it takes to you know do it anyways and to start diving in and to set that path is how you accomplish it because at some point you weren't a DJ and now you can look back and be like dude I did that show I got that show coming up with Versa right the inner child gets happy because you're like I did the thing I'm so happy for myself and so you're on that path and the next time we have fan back we're going to be like so how's that production going and you're going to be like dude I did the thing that is a really really I can't imagine I justed how a lot of my friends are like it's just a different feeling clicking play on your track and hearing on big speakers like I made this stuff I made this music like and now it's just being played to a couple hundred people I cannot wait to just dip into that and hopefully get that feeling one day several thousand of us freaking out all at the same time have a good time you get our local Legends right in the rail just for you and your [ __ ] Banger of a hit absolutely yeah I have a question though right so you spent the last year like learning the art and craft of DJing and a part of that is absolutely reading your audience right and maybe making adjustments if you can right how does a person possibly do that with rhythm music my good s so that's a great question a lot of it for shows in general comes down to who I'm playing the show for for example decadence was a lot more of a of a multi genre it's a multi genre it's a music festival right there's a lot of different genres going on so I mix in a lot of I and weap sudden death hip hop wonky stuff straight heavy depth stuff it was a lot more of a festival set it really depends on what kind of show I'm playing for example in October I opened for nerco a very big melodic dub Up Artist so it was a lot more like an lennium set which like more Feelgood stuff you for stuff with a little bit of Heavy D St but then reverse obviously straight dub steps straight rhm so a lot of my set for this one comes down to just okay my crowd's going to want everyone there for just heavy Rhythm heavy dub step so this is what I'm going to bring so a lot of comes to just what show I'm playing what's the vibe of the festival itself what's the vibe of the show itself and that's how you determine a set I really like that you really like you do your research right and you figure it out like who's going to be there and absolutely I know I appreciate that live music live editing when it's like a Mastercraft is hypnotism you know Flux Pavilion was on another podcast and he talked about the magic of just moving an entire crowd of people by changing a song or changing a Tempo and that in itself is a superpower I totally agree with that and a lot of the times when I make a set too it's it's always some kind of story to it right it's always like okay if depending on what time I'm on if I know I'm like the second or third person on this before me I can kind of come in a little heavier go right compared to if I'm the first person on people are still are still getting your tickets walking and getting drink it's hard for me to just throw down a bunch of heavy stuff and now no one's really looking to right so a lot of my S really tell a story where I want to track the crowd where it's like okay let me come out swinging a little bit let me get everyone kind of going a little bit and eventually once we're kind of heating up I'll be okay now it's a good section for me to like maybe play a really good single along song so a lot of the times when I'm making a set I always try to have some kind of flower story to to where I'm just not like punching you in the face for 60 minutes or keeping it slow making you snit for 60 minutes a lot of going to be okay here's a good part I want to pick up and get the crowd more hyped up all right beautiful everyone's hyped up let's just keep it going all right beautiful I think everyone's getting low and tired let play some really cool songs to sing along to to shake ass to have fun to and then bring it back up and bring it back down depending on what I'm playing what kind of show I'm playing what The Vibes I'm feeling from the crowd too so yeah that's how I mainly do all of my set it's always some kind of flow to it no matter if it's a super heavy Rhythm so I always gonna have some kind of flow to it whether it's a more melodic based set where I can tell a story a little easier or just a straight Rhythm set I always have some kind of storyline behind it when I'm making us set at home I love that it's almost like you're composing a movie soundtrack but the movie is the people ex clear though if you're at Darkstar and let's just be real heavy heavy base is just going to act as a bug Light to somebody like our friend look right and we meing people around the area area uh and some your local rhym rats appreciate it you can open hard you can stay just heavy and just go like that's okay they'll just they'll be attracted to the bugl 100% even for shows where it's just like a showcase let's say for example we grab me and a bunch of just fun local DJs here's a cool little showcase to have fun with with stuff like that where it's like all right screw it let's just rip it for an hour let's have some fun with it all of us are here to just have fun enjoy it hang out so most those times I won't really plan too much of a set I always all right these are some of my fun stuff I always play my set throw it in there let's have some fun and just throw down is that the uh Afters plans like you were at an Afters recently I was I I played my first after 12 gig and I played from 4:00 am to 5: a.m it was it was yeah it was a little rough leading up to about once I'm behind the decks whether it's 5 in the morning or 6 PM it's always an Adell Rush that gets me going for a while dude it was amazing saw you hanging outside the bus I think at one point yeah that yeah even that Filmore bus thing was so fun played that with a couple my friends but yeah at The Afters it's a lot more fun free Loosey Goosey stuff right I played about five I stck in hard style at at one point in my set last weekend just for the heck of it it was my best friend's birthday he loved hard style I was like you know what it's 450 in the morning let's play some hard style had some fun with the play dubet Play Rhythm play the over the house the after party that's where I can kind of be loose about it play songs that I don't get the chance to play Live often that's so cool now what time is the nap like is it like an 8 to2 kind of a nap when you play at 4: a or so yeah it's a great question so usually I'm always going to some kind of show and then it's just easier to trust The Afters the one night I don't go out I get booked for an after party so I took a nap until midnight hung out with some of my friends that were going out with me we wandered over to The Afters at 3 and then hung out from there but most of the time it's usually some kind of show already so I'm already kind of amped and still wanting a little bit more which makes it easier but there's times I don't have that I had to know I know there's a DJ out there that's just like you know sitting around they wake up at midnight they play some cod to like get the blood flowing they're like all right I'll go do it this thing you said Chris's favorite word Afters and I knew this was going to be a full-on tangent and I was like I'm going to just let this happen moment thank you yeah I actually might have a potential after Works within the next couple weeks so we'll see sliding my DMs I got you well speaking of slides let's slide right in here to our outro because uh we have a special question I always like to save a little shake up here for the end of each segment just to keep people on their toes I literally do not even tell the other host what I'm going to ask because I just like to mess with people a little bit I like to you know keep some of this just 100% genuine in live in a world R surrounded by artificial intelligence and constant bombardment of things that we don't know if it's real and genuine here on ready VIP we keep it 100% real 100% genuine and at least 50% chaos by right that's 250% for anybody who's keeping track but you know we didn't say this was a math podcast no so love that our special question of this segment when it comes to visuals lasers are you a lasers guy are you a visuals guy and what's your approach to visuals behind you while you DJ great question I had my first laser like laser ERS coming during my set at the after party last weekend that's my first time ever having lasers and my friends recorded some videos and I was like Dy but then recently as of a couple months ago I've been getting more individuals I currently only really have logos for the most part because I know visuals are a little more cost expensive and it's an investment I makeing that's a investment I'm planning on trying to put more time into this year only thing that visual that's really hard is this to what I want to be behind me I feel that's the hardest thing I wake up one morning and like one idea but then I'm like does that match me or am I just trying to be cheesy so I've been thinking about visuals a lot lately I just haven't I have a couple ideas I just haven't like fully committed to anything yet so I think currently we'll be lasers until I feel like when I come up with some visual ideas then that Chris visuals or lasers all right right I love them both they both have a deep deep place in my heart but I'm going to have to go with visuals honestly and just because they can be so varied right now if you combine the visuals with the lasers and you have yourself a giant wly Mammoth shoy lasers out of its eyes for example or anything frankly shooting lasers out of anywhere I'm here for it uh but I really like visuals s your point right they like you know they can change up they can even stay constant maybe at first it's just a cool logo and it changes color it changes Direction maybe it's like the old DVD screen safe thing and hits the quarter and everyone [ __ ] loses their mind free idea for you I'm full of them um yeah send me all your ideas when you have them so I can start logging them in there you go you hear listeners send fam all your ideas just slide to his DMS be like hey I thought of another one let me be prepared for all the shenanigans coming into your DMs now all the inappropriate Graphics I'm sorry okay but yeah I do so and honestly like let's be real woly excision right like there's a few really really solid players in the game I agree with both you I think that there is a different feel for both right because lasers it's one of those things where it looks cool in pictures but live it's impressive right you're like ah it's around me it's and and it's art with life um and I think that's what visuals really are is Art coming to life you're curating a artistic experience of both music and things that the audience is going to engage in visually um I'm one of those people I you know I'm I'm right down the middle I love visuals I love lasers but I spend about half the time with my eyes closed listening to the music anyways so whatever is really going to hit home with that song that I'm going to really connect with as far as like taking video I really love when visuals set the tone because they can cast so much light that it changes your picture and your video and it's like man the whole crowd is pink and blue uh and I think that creates a really cool feel but my favorite after a year of just festival and Festival concerts is now flamethrowers so speaking of elenium we I saw the um elenium return to Rawhide right and it was like um Bonnie and Clyde crank d uh elenium I think Mamba played that night right and so what a just Banger lineup and at one point crank dad's visuals were this like metal robot spider thing and it had flamethrowers and it shoots and when it shoots the flamethrowers come off the stage and the DJs are up there and Arizona man we Phoenix is not a metaphor we literally are a city constantly on fire right and they're up there in 100 plus degree heat in the Arizona summer just flamethrowers flamethrowers flamethrowers and that is the hardest a DJ can go in my opinion uh confetti being like also a really like especially if we can get some eco-friendly confetti super cool moment Builder I saw that EDC Thailand was launching confetti just because right and I was like man why do we have to wait till New Year's for confetti at decadence in fact why don't I have confetti on all the stages we need more confetti and so I'm I'm here for the flamethrowers and confetti and I'm 50/50 with you on lasers and visuals I agree with that 100% Pyro's lasers or Flames add so much more to it um I still remember my first time seeing slander when they came here about two years ago now with sudden death as one of their special guests on their tour a while ago that pyro was hot especially being up front yeah it could it could cook you a little bit but pyrro especially when done like perfectly with a nice nasty drop and just boom yeah yeah totally H John was like roasted us yes yes Shinx say the same thing it was insane like and what it was still really hot that time of year it was like 100 degrees outside still yeah they're like roast them uh it was a good time but I'm pretty sure how he was surviving up there I don't know man how we survived he lit his cigarette off of bit at one point he did man he's such a hardcore dude um so I think that was a fun way to end the show audience feel free to always play along with whatever we're going to do and I would love to hear your reactions too go to Instagram go to Facebook go to YouTube you know Reds R Daddy they he does Chris does the threads he loves to he loves to thread [ __ ] and let us know like lasers flamethrowers visuals confetti what's your top four how do you rank it well that's takes us to our very last and final parting shots Brian is there anything you would like to say that you didn't get a chance to say anything you want to plug that's coming up that you didn't remember earlier or anybody you want to give a shout out to that you didn't already list in your top five DJs first before you said lennium and slander and all of that is there anybody or anything that needs to be said before we go shout out to construct boys playing before me they put on a great show I'm playing with my best boys rip off they are amazing it' be a blast when we're all St together and Shout Out ver his manag for having me out for the show as well other than that just I just appreciate everyone for supporting me I would not be here at all without you guys anyone else everybody else it's amazing seeing the love I always get when I'm playing

speaking of live shows by f so in the segment here after this we're going to play a three song mix which is going to be like a little mini concert of your music and what people can expect when they hear it um with some of your videos and pictures overlay so they can get to know uh you even from that far distance as we see you on the festival stage so what songs are they going to hear in our mini music video I'm going to be featuring three songs first one is in by two of my really good friends super amazing artists rring cacti shout out to them second one is actually gonna be first edition hey my trap besti and my third one in Zeus all my favorite artist in one little mix I love that and I love that you pulled in some Zeus there too because like we were just talking about it earlier in the segment and now they're going to be forced to listen to it but one of the Great privileg es of being a DJ is introducing people to music they've never heard and you're about to drop some filthy filthy Wubs yeah right I appreciate you guys of course do you want to say roll the music let's roll the music you got it [Music] [Music] keep [Music] [Music] I [Music] I see you I see you you get [Music]

VIP is joining joining me today with Taylor and Jordan from the slush what's I'm Taylor I'm Jordan thanks for tuning in everybody I love having you guys on so collectively you make up the peer business of uh the slush puppy which I was so fortunate to get a piece of our our VIP episode two hooks us up with these at decadence and boy the story behind him is awesome go back and watch our decadence recap and you can find out all about this pear but today it's not about this peer it's about the two gentlemen here who are kind of the pear Kings every piece of work I have seen has just been one amazing piece of art after the other and so we really wanted to bring them on to talk about the community aspect of it the Artistry of it and where that all fits into our Festival scene here with ready VIP now you gentlemen are our VIPs and I want to put the spotlight on you for a minute so that everybody can get to know you a little bit let's start out with the origin story can you give me the Marvel chapter one uh all right so I I'll I'll start I'll start and then you get about halfway you take it over so uh our origin story is uh Jordan and I have been doing festivals we've been best friends close friends for uh quite a while now but it was specifically at Electric Forest uh this past year 2024 so I had gotten a kaachi peer uh you know uh a close a close person a close friend of mine bought that for me and I took it out there and it was my prized possession everyone was Gass everybody was gassing it up they loved the P everything they just could not they could not go without it basically and uh you know we had gone to uh Boogie Trio we had gotten this backboard signed by Boogie T it's in the other room I no way that's amazing it is incredible it's incredible we dressed as the Denver Nuggets and we had him take a shot at the hoop from stage was great wow we do we we get this sign I have the pler and Jordan and I then go from knock two to woly to at and then finally was black tiger sex machine incredible I'm in the pit for all four of these back to back to back to back to back just like I I can't leave I I gotta live here I can't leave so a certain like I need at least like a second I'm gonna go sit down I'll come back and I'm like all right so he goes and sits down and I'm like I'll go find him he said where he was he's gonna be by this tree so I go back to find him and I'm like hey what you know you good man he's like yeah I think I'm just gonna you know go back to Camp though like you know take a take a break I'm like all right cool bet bet bet and he starts walking I'm back in the pit and I get a call from him which we have there's hard to it's like sometimes there's no Serv but I get a call from him he's wow that P's gone oh no what he's like the pler it's gone like I I do not have it anywhere so someone had taken it off him while was asleep because because e if if I'm holding but if I'm if I'm holding two things I'm holding the Boogie T signed backboard singing on the tree took it off of my backpack and he was cradling the and I was cradling the backpack cringing the backboard and somebody took the the pler away in the in the at the forest of all places too you know so I'm so sorry to hear that well you know it sp sp inspir things so Jordan and I get back and you know I'm still distraught about the prer of course and I Look to Jordan and I go Jordan I think we could just start making these like we could probably make that make this exact same PE and this is some crazy kaachi PE and it's a giant skull and it's like it's it's humongous so then we basically came back and started making pearlers from there started dropping beads and you know since what August Jordan i' say probably AUST August of 2024 is when we really started like the first prer was really really dropped yeah and it was just you know especially after the forest like the you know we already are very classically uh like Rave dad style kind of guys you know like all about like here for like helping you know so that that already being brought into making these plers it was such a natural like then progression into why shouldn't we just be making these like for the artists that are already doing art you know for us it's art giving back to these artists Cheers Cheers me to that Che appreciates art and it was just a natural transition into doing that that's incredible and it looks like you have some of the setup there in front of you for what I have already seen has been one of the craziest pieces like when this when they reveal this a little bit more upright later on you guys are going to get a treat um wild it's a absolute wild one this one's for uh H fracture sound yep he's a a DJ out of Denver Colorado he like Associates he's actually on tour right now with Gorilla T we had we had messaged him about a piece because we had seen a uh you know we he had made a post with a a song with him and gorilla te and message him and we were like can we please make you a piece and he was like absolutely like go ahead and uh and do it so we we're at this point now where it's pretty much done we have a PO we have a poll on the page there's a poll on the page should we do should do to the skull you know add demon horns or a dragon wing something something like that oh can I can I weigh in oh please please uh give it a Halo I like good I like a good one it's it's got a very like dark angel Vibe thing going on and like just the Halo would take it to that next level you know I was right put it on all rightview you can't get us going start looking at the and going all right we got we gotta put this here and then you gotta write the you gotta do the right there that's that's raw creativity you know while we're while we're riffing on this that reminds me of there was this old like Disney no it was like a I think it was like a Mickey Mouse Play-Doh carttoon anyways he had like a Halo and he was like oh man I'm pretending to be good but as soon as people walked away he took a bite out of the Halo and it became horns and I've seen that done in art where they make the Halo a certain color up top so it looks like it's shining but down below it's like red or whatever so if you look at it from a distance it's horns but when you're up close it's that's sick it's glow that's pretty sick that's pretty sick I think we could do something at least like that Dimension wise just based off of how the skull is sitting because it's I and you know nobody else besides you knows what we're talking about because I you got the sneak peak of the piece that's on the table in front of us right now why don't you go ahead and show the audience we're since we're hitting uh okay Jordan's gonna grab the camera and we're g and we'll take it and we'll show the audience what what we're looking at here all right here's here's what we got going on right now so how many hours did this piece take oh man this thing maybe maybe five hours at this point there's a piece that's right next to Jordan's head that's a Grizz piece as well so we made for you we basically kicked both of these out within wow one day I love that Grizz piece yeah the Mami flower there yes that's incredible you gentlemen are true artists I love that it looks so good and I'm I'm glad the audience got to take a a quick view out of it too and we see some other amazing ones right behind you on the walls uh which we can talk about in a little bit but I'd love to give you mad props for the ex Jersey we just saw exision and decadence and man what an incredible show that was that was absolutely yeah that really was um so this excision Jersey is actually uh from one of the forest fam like you know we had talked about with the birth puppy and uh I actually was at the uh the levity Chico excuse me the levity Chicago show at the uh the radius and uh that's when you got there one of my buddies who couldn't make it ended up giving me this excision Jersey and it is from the second lost lands ever ever the second he you know he's he's going out of the Rave scene we're going into it and you know he passed it along as you know like one of these great ra fan members do that yeah so he he couldn't make it to the Lev uh Chicago show this past weekend and what a great gift to get speaking of the levity Chicago show you guys were insiders to what happened and I would love to hear a little bit about what was going on and what you saw and experienced so this guy got this guy got to go I was back at a home base unfortunately but this guy cranking out PE has all the stories he was relaying everything I was there that's why that's why it's a Duo right that that's why you have two of us somebody's got to be finishing up the art pieces and dropping art and the other ones got to be out there so uh yeah I actually had uh bought tickets gosh months and months ago when they had originally dropped and they had sold out the first day and uh booked all this trip went out there met a couple of the forest fam and uh you know everything I want to just say everything started off absolutely fantastic um levity themselves you know did an absolutely fantastic job putting this on he it was It was a mini Festival they put on a winter wonderland because they're from Chicago so you know if you got there before doors opened at 9: Merchants food you could take pictures with Santa they had a a snow globe that you could like jump inside of and then they had a lot of these local Chicago DJs spinning there before and E I know you saw we ended up getting on stage uh with D or I ended up getting on stage of D and with the Richard finger piece because we had a whole bunch of the five pearlers that he brought with him that we made to give do levity yeah we ended up getting five pearlers to levity so you know everything really started off great the the vibe was really fantastic and you know shout out to uh you know Mary droin uh Nikita the wied and Levy obviously because you know as as the night was progressing everything was going well um until halfway through Mary droin set so uh the group that I was with um uh the specific person her name's Micah she's a first responder uh she has Naran with her and uh so basically when we got to the rail at the end of Mary drop in set like halfway through you know we're I have five pearlers dangling over the wed or over waiting for John to come over and and pick these pearlers up but as these things are going people start dropping in the crowd so like oh no uh Mary is stopping her set because people are are like dropping down you know typical typical stuff they put the they put the uh the flashlight out shaking it so that everybody comes over so you know Micah and I are on the rail and she's excuse me first responder coming through like you know trying to check and trying to see what's going on and so uh she responded to two specific of of those events before levity even got on the stage it's sad to hear that um you know people have to go through that EXP experience and my heart goes out to them you know I've seen a lot of that at festivals over the last couple years it is 100% why Rave daddy exists you know the app is so that you can send an SOS out why R daddy exists right there and it's one of the things we really hope to in the future integrate with festivals and events is that they have people you know when you sign in you can QR code get the app and then if something happens in Usos it goes to the festival and not just your buddies we'd love we' love that it goes to your friends and family uh but we want it to go to First Responders right we want the the people with the Naran and the resources uh to be there and it's a specific you know Mission part of what we do and so I appreciate you sharing that part of the story but it sounds like there's a lot more to tell so I don't want to interrupt too much it's honestly e we're just we're we're basically pulling the first layer off of this at at this point so um you know Mary Droppin come you know does her set like I said we had the two people go down the third one the lights come flashing up Micah goes to run puts puts her hand hey first responder coming through gonna check on somebody and it's actually levity coming to the coming to the stage so the third one was a the third one was a false alarm and it was just security flashlights getting levity to the stage um on on one of the uh the the EDM train posts I saw somebody post something about no water available no free water and I just want to shout out levity at this point because as somebody who was on the rail I watched Josh John and PJ hand out at least one if not two 24 packs of water I personally got a water two people behind me got Waters everybody else on the rail got Waters so like they were doing their they were doing their thing like I just cannot shout out enough like levity doing their their their piece of the puzzle so yeah I'm not shocked I just three great guys um hand the five curlers to John obviously John's been waiting for this Richard finger piece for like a hot minute uh we have a we had a great picture of our story of John just like absolutely loving life like super duper happy like great moment like super great moment in time and send me those pictures audience I will add them to this as we're talking and you will get to check out the awesome pictures that he got absolutely yeah perfect perfect so uh I was probably on the rail for like a good 45 minutes at one point levity was going so hard that you know E I had to do the classic I'm wearing a headbanger jersey so I jump on the rail and I just start like flinging my head and just head banging and do amazing but you know I I had flown from Tucson to Chicago 5 in the morning travel time I landed at 3:00 Micah picks me up from the airport we go chill for an hour and then we're at the lity show it's now 1:30 in the morning and you know we we're leaving we're we we're heading out as we get to the curb you know I had I had gotten into Uber for the two of us we see a gentleman who's E I don't know how else to describe it but besides laying underneath or like next to to a car tire oh man like right underneath the car tire so it's like a I think it was a taco stand or like a like a taco food truck and this guy is laying under the tire and we come out there and Micah being the first responder again you know she she just jumps straight into action what is going on like how did this guy get underneath this tire she throws all of her stuff at me so I have I have basically everything that she has and these two guys drag this guy from out of from like right next to a car like I'm not I'm not saying he's ran over but like somehow this guy is right underneath a car like and they drag him out Micah tries to take care of everything and uh you know see see how that's see how that's going this guy initially does not want help and I don't know you don't help me blah blah blah you know and this is Chicago buddy yeah as a responder as a responder as you know if somebody does not want your help at one Point there's nothing you can do so she wakes the guy up you know she's telling him to lay down because clearly you just hit your head or else you wouldn't be on the ground and you know we get into the Uber from there so that's where our night ends the other half of our group E uh uh Jason and uh Anna shout out Shout Out J I love that guy Electric Forest F uh he is still inside the he's still ins side of the event because he's a you know a Midwestern local and in the video that actually went viral online that that you know everybody in their mother saw on EDM train where the attendee get shoved through the door at the radius Center you hear the guy in the background going hey man you need to eing chill like you need to chill out that guy was actually Jason like one of that was at the at the like at the center with us and so he saw everything that happened and and you know we Jordan and I may look like dting guys sitting here across the table from but but Jason's probably six foot seven and so when he had a word with the security guard and said hey you need to chill the security guard turned around to try and face this guy who was another foot and a half taller okay sir I will chill you're right and basically chilled out from there but you know what happened there is completely unacceptable from a security guard standpoint like just the footage from the outside it was absolutely crazy it was crazy footage you know to see and who knows all the ins and outs who knows what happened but at the same time it's like you're gonna just shove a guy through a door and then actually like kick him while down oh man crazy crazy festival and stories and that certainly is going to rank as one of the top almost up there with getting your pler stolen While You Were Sleeping clutching a boogie T backboard and and E you know the the the last part to put on to it that you know Jordan and I really want to like dig into you know obviously hopefully speedy recovery for everybody that got injured like the beam or the part of the roof that fell down and what I think it hospitalized four or five at least a couple few people re recap me on what happened there because this isn't even part of the story this is a whole another thing yes yeah yes so so what what had happened was um supposedly no not not even supposedly footage of the be on the ground and so a piece of the roof had actually fallen down in the middle of levity set and they had to stop the show early so like we all got an email anybody that had a ticket saying hey keep keep your ticket like blah blah blah you know who knows what's going to happen exactly but a beam fell down in the middle and it's just it's it's it's terrible it's just terrible it's terrible it's very sad to see I I used to live in Mount Prospect in Chicago back in the day and so I understand that some of those buildings are also hell old absolutely decrepit and some locations and like they need probably better inspections before you put somebody like levity behind the biggest Stacks mankind can muster and blows the he literally brought the roof down you guys realize like when they talk about bringing a roof down not to make light of the situation the videos I'll send you after this of everybody on the rail because like I said I I was at the rail I handed the pieces to John myself the crowd was going absolutely bananas and it was a great environment until the beam fell down and security it clearly was not's fault nothing had to do with levity what so all at all they did their piece they were fantastic for throwing an amazing event you can't blame the talent for how the crowd or anything else is going to happen around them the the security for the venue just completely unacceptable for treating people that way I mean all around on the venu yeah yeah all all around on the and I'll say with some certainty that these experiences are usually the exception and not the rule when you go to festivals and when you go to uh shows because most of the time security is cool as hell most of the time the buildings don't fall apart uh and so these all you know Perfect Storm on a big night for all of this to happen and I appreciate you guys being here to recap it with me and so anybody who's a festival goer or even like maybe they went once or twice and you watch Rave daddy don't let these events scare you from going but it should it should certainly allow you to take a cleare eyed view in your approach to having a good time you need to be prepared for when things go sideways this is one of the reasons for the Rave daddy app is so that if things go sideways whether it's like you're not feeling well or there is somebody who goes down in the crowd or the beam Falls and you need a legitimate SOS I cannot not get out of here right it should only be one button away and that is 100% what we're trying to uh encourage people to do when they go to festivals is to look at it and go not necessarily what can go wrong but how can I protect myself in case things do and so this gives people an easy out not only do we appreciate you for having us on to talk about this stuff but also for what you do out with all that you know like that is absolutely important and it's saving people you know it is like absolutely saving people that is really the hope and you know it goes all over the world we have um had downloads in places where it is unexpected and so I am really happy to see that progress and I really hope that you know this becomes something that catches on at festivals because yes it should it should absolutely should 100% you got our backing it because it's it's the same type of Mantra that Jordan and I are trying to portray of you know being there other that's that's what it means that's what EDM means a family it's a community is supposed to be like a community and escape from what is the traditional you know societal Norm into something where it is more of like a so we actually um oh here it is here it is hey B here's here's what it is here's the boie sign back for you got right here for you with the homie Morgan from Elric forest and then when we went to uh when we won the free tickets to escape Halloween with our art for holly hollywood toys and costumes here's a sign gar Gar that's inred we were talking about Boogie T Shenanigans and I just wanted to show you the little piece of what Jordan and I are like what we keep I love that I love the backboard to bring that kind of story back to a Full Circle here and Gengar man talk about my favorite Pokemon I have a couple Gengar hats myself so shout out to that sweet Gengar hat and I'm really excited to you know kind of jump into the next part of our uh podcast because because there's so much to come like we could literally recap all of 2024 amazing Festival after amazing Festival festival and for you guys it sounded like a like a benchmark year and 2025 is already shaping up to be incredible absolutely absolutely it is uh man what do we got on the docket Phoenix Lights uh R nights week all the all the proceeds to that benefit La Wildfire relief shout out Optics to putting that

there's a there's a list that's got everybody's name on it for the pieces that we need to be making and that's awesome it's a list it is a list so my list is much shorter but in chronological order I just came from seeing levity at the sunbar at not excuse me let me start that over so I just came from seeing um champagne drip at the sunbar and that was incredible like champagne drip goes hard talk

little bit more into my sweet special R was a good one that sounded like it was a good one so I I love the candy trade like I actually I don't normally wear my candy during the episode but I figure if I'm going to rock the peer got to rock the candy I love to pass out trinkets as well so like in uh my like fanny pack I normally carry around runestones that are on crystals and I give people like a a reading about their Fortune they get to look at it and then take that with them um and then if you're like part of my special Rave fam I give them a little totem that's like you know soap stone or gemstone and it's like an eagle or owl or a bear or something and like they get to pull at random so whichever one picks them and for some reason it always matches like their personality their Vib it's it's crazy that some people call it magic I just say that you guys are the magic I love that it works though it's real man I'm telling you really is it really is and uh you know be up with with with that being said I love that because I I also carry a pouch for Jordan and I when we go out yeah it's the chachki bag and specifically this this this last week uh I was at uh Versa construct uh

had meeting artists and giving pearlers there has to be one at least one if not 10 moments that make you want to cry that make you lay there at night in bed and go damn that's a good memory's yours and that one's mine I don't know that one is pretty great this one's mine e I'll tell either I'll tell either both of those are like this one kind of like yeah that one looks like it has a story compared to the other ones for sure this this this this this is almost like it's it's almost like a religion all right so we go to Jordan's gonna tell his story first right now we go to Electric Forest right and um Electric Forest has like obviously there was people may say there was a lot of ups and downs a lot of the sets got like canceled because of weather and you know xyzxyz it was absolutely incredible like there there's some sort of actual magic over that Forest you know like hell yeah something special about that place and we're there one night and we end up gets rained out you know it gets rained out it we're we're at a set it gets rained out we're in full costume as Mermaid Man and bar no way give me the picture I'm totally putting like where's the invisible boat mobile we're like end of the night all of a sudden it gets rained out and we end up with a homie and you know what we just end up losing this spoon of ours that we have spoon that we needed and uh we're walking around the rest of the day was great end of the night we're walk around 3 4 a.m. and we're looking at all of this garbage on the floor of the forest and we're like what is up with this all these people going Happy Forest Happy Forest and they're just throwing their trash everywhere so we stop and we're like you know what it's not a lot but we'll pick up at least a couple handfuls do our part and like throw some positive net positive everybody does their part and this woman and we're like damn I can't believe that spin's going and this lady walks up to us she works there and she's like you guys don't have to do that and we're like no no no like it's fine you know we it's we want to do this it's like shitty you have to deal with that she's like oh well thanks and she bends down and goes hey do you guys want this sure and it is this rouille oh whoa like spoon the spoon came back it's like numbered wow and we ended up stringing it all with food base head be so this is RIS spoony and that that [ __ ] it was so wild it was so surreal to like have the magic of that Forest like kind of like weirdly be of all places right there of all people at all times and we like picked up the garbage that moment for me was like such a crazy Just moment of this is why we do exactly this too you know it's all about just like a community giving back like you know helping each other out it's I love that to have it be like such a weird moment of giving back presented okay I I got I got my I got my one okay that that one your is highlight of my life not not even my this one so you know
