Deerock: NY Country Scene, Club Rodeo and More!

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Foreign. Come on. This is Outside the Round with Matt Burrill for Rage Rowdy Podcast. What's going on, guys? Welcome back to Outside the Round with me, Matt Burrill. Today, a very special guest, a brother of mine from the Great White North. He's from Long Island. It's our man, Derek Atardi, also known as Drock, the king of EDM Club Rodeo. Hanging out with my girl Steph. [00:00:36] Speaker B: Let's go, brother. [00:00:37] Speaker A: How you feeling after the late night out last night here in Nashville? [00:00:41] Speaker B: I'm happy to be here. Thank you, Surfside for re reviving me. Cheers to that, brother. Thank you. [00:00:46] Speaker A: Thank you. [00:00:46] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:00:46] Speaker A: Hell yeah. Cheers. Hell yeah. [00:00:48] Speaker B: And was in Nashville last night. Did the Whiskey Jam. Super electric. Definitely a different vibe for me, right? Because as I'm like dabbling more in the country DM space, I'm like, had to. I get these country people's hands up, you know, so it's cool. I like. [00:01:01] Speaker A: Was this your first time doing a set in Nashville? [00:01:04] Speaker B: I played at Barstool Nashville a bunch because I work with a company, Old Row, and then we do like Old Row tours and they have connections with Barstool, so I play at Barstool Nashville a bunch, but this was like my first ever like between sets, between, like Wyatt and Tucker and playing like a 10 minute set of like, I got 10 minutes. What am I going to hit him with? Bangers? Like, do I put levels on reverse? I was. I was fired up. [00:01:25] Speaker A: Yeah, bro. And a lot of people out there last night too, dude. [00:01:28] Speaker B: Packed, packed. Yeah. And I'm like, I'm on this like, top shelf, like, deck area, right? And there's like the stage here and I'm like, all right, this is different because usually I'm on the stage and I'm like, okay. I can like feel their energy. Yeah, you're. [00:01:40] Speaker A: You're in it. [00:01:40] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. I feel like I'm like Roman Empire, like my. My children. I'm like, this is not for me. I want to be like, right there and, like, kind of feel the energy. So I'm like, so. It was different for me, but I had a good time. [00:01:49] Speaker A: Thanks for sick, man. How long you been doing? How long you been spitting and mixing and doing the DJ thing for? [00:01:56] Speaker B: Yes. I started my junior year of college. I picked up my first board in Christmas. Sophomore year, I went to James Madison University, jmu. [00:02:05] Speaker A: I got a cousin down there. That's a good time. The Dukes know how to get down, man. It's a good time down there in Harrison. [00:02:11] Speaker B: Honestly, I went to that school Only school I ever visited. My dad came with me. He looked at the grass. Dad's big landscape. Guys, like, this grass is nice. You're going here. That was it. And I was like, yeah. My other school's like, University of Vermont. Because I was a little owner back then. Yeah, yeah, lock that part out. But, yeah. And I was. My dad's like, do not go now. You're going. Jam you good grass. So. True story. And then, yeah. So I started. I bought my first board Christmas, and then I started dabbling with it. I was just making some mixes. Dm. My boys like, yo, you like this? They're like, yeah, dude. And then I picked it up, like, junior year, started playing a couple frats and bars. And as I was playing more frats, I was like, wow, I really just want to play what I want to play. And that kind of felt like more of like being an artist instead of playing at a bar and get all these requests. And I was like, no, dude, I'm not playing Bad Bunny. You know what I mean? So that's where it started. And I just kept feeding the beast and just kept going. [00:03:00] Speaker A: That's wild, man. What was it like going back to the New York scene, going from Harrisonburg to, like, a dj? Like, obviously you grew up in Long island, and we'll get into all that stuff and growing up outside the city, but it's like, it's one of the DJ meccas. So for you to have gotten the board and gotten your early reps playing, playing the frats and. And the parties and the bars down in Harrisonburg, to taking it back. To taking it back to the island and into Manhattan. What's it like trying to break into that market even as a local, you know? But it's like, you came up out of Northern Virginia. You got your start at those parties. [00:03:33] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think, like, a small little story, right? Like, when I had my first, like, breakthrough, that wasn't a frat show. I got booked to play one of my favorite artists, Cap Slap, if you remember him. [00:03:42] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:03:42] Speaker B: He was like, don't forget the paper towel. They got booked to play. It was an hour and a half away. And I hit up my fraternity. I was in a fraternity there, and I hit up my fraternity. I was like, yo, I got this show. I need you guys to come out. It's an hour and a half away. And they're like, yeah, like, we're in, but how are we getting there? I'm like, we got pledges. They're like, no, dude, Derek we can't use the pledges. Somehow linked up with Harrisonburg Public School District, got them to give me three school buses. That was amazing. But shit show. Cause I put, like, my three best friends in the frat on to be, like, bus managers. One of them was too drunk, didn't even get on the bus. So fifth people on this bus. Fifth on this, fifth on this. It was like 75 kids from my frat. And then we all brought, like, dates. First bus manager was like, didn't make it. Other guy, he was hammered. The other guy was like, super, like, I got this, you know? [00:04:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:04:26] Speaker B: So transport all those people there. And where I'm getting with this story is like my big moment, my big, big deal. I was like, I want to do this. And what I learned from that, to take that to New York was like, you got to push tickets to get people to come to see you. So when I moved to New York, I was like, damn, I want to do a big show. So I just kept gathering people that wanted to come see me and come to a cool party. And then I was, like, working with a charity called Fuck Cancer, which I love. I'll talk about that later. But I did this, like, rooftop spot in the Bronx. You were like, where the are we, dude? And totally graffiti rooftop. We did a huge fundraiser there. We brought a bunch of people on. Everybody's like, yo, these are sick. I want to do more. And we called that Sunset at the Tea factory. Because on top of this Sunset Tea Factory, it was awesome, dude. But just bringing that, like, drive of, like, kind of being in a fraternity, being like, we're going out, everybody's meeting here. And just kept that drive. [00:05:13] Speaker A: Grassroots, bro. [00:05:14] Speaker B: Dude, just bring it there, baby. Bring it back to the island. Bring it there. [00:05:17] Speaker A: This is. So where were those early spots on the island? Because I'm sure you've got. You've been spinning and DJing a bunch over there. [00:05:23] Speaker B: Yeah, well, my second cancer show was at Claudio's in Greenport. [00:05:28] Speaker A: Okay. [00:05:29] Speaker B: And this is a cool spot because, like, a little pier, right? All my boys, some of my friends have money. I'm the broke boy. Yeah. But they all had their boats pull up on the pier, and the spot fit like 400 people. And we brought, like 700 people because we put more people on the boats. And that was one of my favorite, favorite all time spots there. A couple spots on Long island that I played out were just like, little dive bars maybe in my town. But then mostly was mostly going into the city, right? Because that's where I can get people to, like, you know, take the Long Island Railroad, get them in, easy transportation. When you're like, yo, dude, we're doing a show in Bath pitch, like, bro, I'm not Ubering there. [00:06:00] Speaker A: No, no, that's. That's a million dollar Uber. [00:06:03] Speaker B: I'm not doing that. So, yeah, it was always easier to do stuff more in the city and get people to go back and forth there in the earlier stages. [00:06:09] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Now how does the crossover into country music happen? Because you were heavy in that. How long have you been doing the artist thing too? Like, back up a little bit to where Drock kind of comes from as an artist. [00:06:23] Speaker B: Okay, cool. Drock came as an artist. My first DJ name was Harrisonburg House Mafia. That's where JMU was. [00:06:31] Speaker A: Oh, I like that. Harrisonburg. A little H and H. I like it. [00:06:35] Speaker B: Yeah. I still have my first sign that started and then I pivoted over to Drock. Once I had that first show I talked about with the school buses. That was the Jefferson Theater at UVA Shout Out. [00:06:44] Speaker A: Yeah, I know Jefferson Theater. I've done shows there. [00:06:46] Speaker B: Yeah. So that was cool. And what years was. Was all this in 2017, December was that show there. Okay. [00:06:55] Speaker A: So you were building all this momentum right before the world shut down. [00:06:58] Speaker B: Yeah, right? A little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Bad adhd. Short term memory. [00:07:05] Speaker A: You're good, bro. [00:07:05] Speaker B: Question again. [00:07:06] Speaker A: The question was, like, how does that transition into, like, when you start putting out songs as an artist? [00:07:11] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay. Yeah, so it's. It's different, the path that I took, because I took the path of, like, being a DJ more instead of like a producer. Yeah. I didn't really grow up playing, like, any instruments. I picked up piano for like a year or two, and then, you know, I picked up a DJ board, kind of just playing video games. Like, I grew up playing video games my whole life. Call of Duty. [00:07:28] Speaker A: Same. [00:07:29] Speaker B: Yeah. And I was like, dude, this is the same thing. But it was cool because what I was studying at school was computer science. And then, like, when I got into music production, I was like, it's similar in its own ways. You know what I mean? And you get addicted to it. So I started DJing. Probably like that junior senior year, once I got out of college, I was like, I really want to keep doing this. There's no more frats to play. But I'm like, I don't want to be a bar dj. I got to produce my own music so people can come see shows for me. So I kept, like, sticking with the production on that side of things, kept just building that up. It was a slow and steady build, right. Because I grew up on, like, tropical house music. So a lot of my music, what I like to say is it's like happy bubbly. [00:08:04] Speaker A: The summer, bro. Summer on Long Island. Going down. Going down the Jersey Shore. Hanging out Point Pleasant. Hanging out in ac. Hanging out in Wildwood. Exactly that, bro. That's. That. [00:08:13] Speaker B: That's what I like to feel. Yeah. [00:08:15] Speaker A: It's good vibes. [00:08:16] Speaker B: Yeah. I just want people to be happy, come to the show, be like, this is a good vibe, you know, Even if you're like, not really listen to music, the. The environment, want to bring it to the show is like, I'm having a good time. My boys are having a good time. Everybody having a good time. [00:08:26] Speaker A: Yeah, there's. Girl, everybody's having a good time. No checks the shows. [00:08:29] Speaker B: No checks. [00:08:31] Speaker A: Fr. What. What frat were you in? [00:08:34] Speaker B: I was in Cap Alpha order. Okay. Okay. Yeah, nice was the order. [00:08:37] Speaker A: That's a big. That's a big one. That is all over the Southeast, too. So I've run into a lot of KA folks just being in my back in my touring days, working with bands and stuff, going through SEC country and things like that. [00:08:49] Speaker B: You get it? [00:08:50] Speaker A: That's cool. Yeah, man. That's a big. That's a big one. Where does the jump to country music begin for you? [00:08:55] Speaker B: Yeah. So probably right before COVID hit, I was doing, like, kind of like a small little, like, college tour. I was doing a couple shows, partnering with it. Like, total frat move a little bit. And then that slowed down. And then when Covet hit, I was like, damn, I think this is over. You know what I mean? I was still working my corporate job. I went back to school to get my MBA because I was like, I want to be a teacher when I. [00:09:12] Speaker A: Get old doing corporate work. Okay. So this was all strictly side on the side, like you were working? [00:09:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:09:19] Speaker A: What kind of corporate job were you doing? [00:09:20] Speaker B: I was in cyber security sales. Yeah. My dad was super like, you're not doing this for a living. It took. It took me nine years for my parents to come to their first show. That was at Brooklyn Mirage before they shut down. My dad was always, like, super supportive, but he's like, yeah, but you got to make some money. [00:09:35] Speaker A: You got to make a living. [00:09:36] Speaker B: Yeah, but that's. You know how parents are. They're just looking at. They want the best. [00:09:39] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:09:40] Speaker B: So as, like, CO was ending, I was promoting my shows more on Tik Tok, and I was like, hey, I posted, like, old. Old recap videos of me playing at frats, and I was like, yo, win a free show. And this is when CO was kind of ending, when Florida and, like, Texas was opening up. So, like, posted a. TikTok was waiting for, like, a Florida or Texas school to comment. Cause they could do the events, Found some kid, he's like, yo, would love for you to come to our school. Flew out there for free, Played a show, was insane. Got that content, did it again. Then I played a show in Florida and another show in Texas. Keep playing shows. And that's when TikTok was getting bigger. I was doing these free shows. And that next when Covid was ending, when it started opening up, all these frats hit me up to play. And then I started dabbling more into, like, playing at SEC schools a bit more compared to, like, playing at, like, a Delaware or JMU or UVA or Gettysburg. And then I was dabbling more in the country space. That's when I started partnering with Old Row because they were like, hey, we don't have a DJ right now. You play at these schools. It's kind of like, I can use their page to help promote myself, and they can use me to give them content about these shows. I was doing, like, MTV Cribs, Frat Life Edition. I was documenting these shows. [00:10:43] Speaker A: You were like a VJ on spring break, going around colleges. [00:10:46] Speaker B: Yeah, it was sick. So then I started hearing more country music. And, like, growing up on Long island, it was like, you know, here and there, but when you go to the South, I was like, wow, this is not bad. So when I was doing, like, my normal mixes, like, what people know me for is, get up. It's game day. I was like, what if I did the same thing? Took those vocals off and put country over it. And then I saw this, like, traction for it, and it was just like, whoa, let me keep pushing this. But it kind of stayed a little bit behind the scenes of, like, what I was trying to push, like, my original music and stuff. But as I started, like, to see more growth within the space and, like, seeing. Become more adaptive to people seeing this, I was like, this is sick. Let me push this a lot more. Yeah, so it was really cool. [00:11:23] Speaker A: What was. What were your initial thoughts of SEC Country? Because you're at jmu, and JMU is obviously in Virginia, but it's not the South. It's. It's not, you know, it's a lot of Northeast, a lot of New York, a lot of Jersey, a lot of Massachusetts. [00:11:35] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [00:11:36] Speaker A: A lot of PA down down at. [00:11:37] Speaker B: James wannabe South, people. [00:11:39] Speaker A: Yeah. So what, what was, what was the first SEC school you remember going to? Me and like, this is different. [00:11:44] Speaker B: Wow. Crazy. Another free show I did, there was this kid named Cody Calvin. He had a company called fratshows.com. [00:11:52] Speaker A: I love all these names. [00:11:53] Speaker B: I DM this kid Cody. I go, cody. I didn't even know his name. I was like, fractures. Hey, my name is Drock. I have this mix series get ups Game day. Would love to come out and play a free show. I'll bring my own production. I'll buy my own flight, bring my own tell. I didn't even have production. I don't know what the hell I was saying. [00:12:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:12:10] Speaker B: And it took me probably like 7, 8 dms of consistently just following up, liking his post, commenting and like tagging my boys in. It finally gave me the opportunity. And then I played Auburn ka. [00:12:20] Speaker A: Oh. So when I was there, I was love Auburn, bro. I love Auburn. I love the kids at Auburn. I love Sky Bar. Like, yeah, electric Auburn is. What a great first taste of the SEC for you. [00:12:33] Speaker B: That was my first ever. And I was like, wow, this is insane. Like, I thought like my fraternity house, which is like a little townhouse, was sick. I was like, dude, this is a mansion. [00:12:41] Speaker A: Different world, bro. Like you think like even some of the big schools back home, like your Penn States and like your Binghamtons and like your, your UMass Amherst, but down south it's. Some of the frat houses are bigger than the academic buildings. [00:12:56] Speaker B: Insane. Insane. And these kids I like, I never knew about any of like the private chefs or any of this. Right. I grew up just flipping eggs, no spatula. And you got like a chef in there. I will pull up green room. Looks like a mansion side piece project. They're like, what do you want? Blah, blah. I was like, this is amazing. So I was like, okay. So that's when I kept pushing it and trying to get more shows. And then when I play there, I was like, yo, dude, I know I had this show. I'd love to play more. Like, do you have any chapters I could play at? So I was like, let's push the chapter out of playing more K's. Like, hey, Alabama and all that stuff and just kept building, building, building. It's all networking, you know? [00:13:29] Speaker A: Yeah, man. And having that KA network has to be huge because you guys are all over the place. [00:13:33] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. It's harder to get connected in the space because you're like, oh my Boy works here, but then you have, like, friends of friends that are like, oh, my buddy isn't the social chair, but I can connect you. So it's just like, whenever I was going to these schools, I didn't want to come off as, like, I'm the dj. Like, my don't stink. Like, we all wear the same pants at the end. [00:13:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:50] Speaker B: I was like, I'm gonna bro down with this kid, because who knows, later down the road, he'll move to New York and I can have a friend, you know? [00:13:55] Speaker A: Yeah, man. And I feel like the energy of kids coming out of COVID was just unmatched, unmatched. [00:14:00] Speaker B: But I do call these kids, like, Covid babies. The parties. Some of them, like, the bigger schools. Like, right when I went to University of Virginia, these kids were like, yo, we never have anything like this. It was reckless, insane, rowdy. But sometimes when you go to, like, the bigger schools, after Covid, it was kind of like they didn't know how to party because, like, the last two years, they're like, I don't know. They were in high school, they went to school, and, like, they don't know what's adaptive. [00:14:23] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:23] Speaker B: As it started getting bigger and bigger, it was, like, crazy. But the Alabama SEC school, sometimes it's challenging because they have so many parties. They could pick and choose, you know? [00:14:32] Speaker A: Yeah. It's a very competitive market. [00:14:33] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was one weekend I was at Arkansas Sig Kai. [00:14:38] Speaker A: I love Fayetteville, too. Fayetteville's wild. [00:14:41] Speaker B: It was me on Thursday, Waka Flocka Friday, Darius Rucker Saturday. And I'm like, dude, I can't compete here. You know? [00:14:49] Speaker A: The king of SEC frats. [00:14:52] Speaker B: Insane. That was cool. [00:14:53] Speaker A: Fayetteville is crazy, man. Have you ever gotten down to Georgia Southern? Have you ever been down to Statesboro? [00:14:59] Speaker B: Yes. I forgot the name of the bar I just played. [00:15:01] Speaker A: We just did, like, Blue Room, or. [00:15:05] Speaker B: It'S next to, like, a little lake pond over there. [00:15:07] Speaker A: Yeah, there's Blue Room. There's. There's Nats Landing. There's a bunch of them that are over there. But the Statesboro, Georgia, those kids, to me, are just another level. [00:15:16] Speaker B: Get after it. [00:15:17] Speaker A: And you see it because of the guys that have come out of there. Like, that's where Luke Bryan and Cole Swindell went to college. That's where Gavin Adcock went to college. That's where Dylan Marlo and all those guys are from. So they love live music, but they love getting down with the dj, too. So I'm sure the. The EDM stuff did well down there. [00:15:31] Speaker B: Yeah. Honestly, the. The people in the south, right. Are just different breeds, right? Grew up on Long Island. It's like, like a little different. And the EDM space is different, but when you get into the country speeds, it's all network. It's all like handshake friendship there. Yeah, it's been such a different space. Like when I set up a Whiskey Jam the other day, the guy hish hooked it up. He set up the whole board for me because I was like, I need a board to set up. Set it up. Broke it down for me. I was like, wow, this never happens for me ever. It's just like a different beast and I love it. [00:15:55] Speaker A: Yeah, man. His is a great dude too. [00:15:57] Speaker B: He's the man, dude. [00:15:57] Speaker A: I met him. He was one of the ranch. [00:15:59] Speaker B: Let's go, baby. [00:16:00] Speaker A: Yep. Yeah, dude. He was one of the. One of the house DJs at. When I first moved down here, I was bouncer at Whiskey Row at Dirks Bentley's bar. [00:16:07] Speaker B: Let's go. [00:16:08] Speaker A: So I met his Grant Fisher. [00:16:10] Speaker B: All the drunk on a plane. [00:16:12] Speaker A: Yeah, dude. Dude. Yeah. And it was that era. I moved down here 20, 2018. So it was like prime, that era of Dirks. And it's like the DJ community here in Nashville. There's a pretty. It's very underrated. There's a good DJ community here of guys that are doing it. [00:16:27] Speaker B: I love that. I love to hear that. I still trying to. Still trying to meet the people out here. Right. As I'm getting more into the country EDM space, you know, I've been doing it for four or five years, but keeping on the back end. But now as I'm pushing it more, it's like, okay, now I'm meeting more people in the space and they're super friendly compared to a lot of other artists that think like not to compare contrast. But on the EDM side like that my don't stink. And it's like I'm just trying to hang out, dude. Just trying to be your boy, play a little Xbox, you know, 100. [00:16:50] Speaker A: That's what it all goes back to, man. And now you guys have like a mecca that has been growing in New York City. Talk about common country a little bit. Because that watching that bar and watching what? Just because I was a part of that scene before I moved down here. And it was like I used to go to shows in Hoboken and go to shows at the Mercury Lounge and go to go to shows at all the different theaters and things like that and I would have been at Common country every freaking night if I was still living up there. [00:17:17] Speaker B: Honestly, I think that's me, right? I think that's me right now. That place is unreal, right? My first gig there was on New Year's, and this was, like, before the landlord above them was like, yo, quiet, the Subs. I was ripping this thing at the. [00:17:32] Speaker A: Pizzeria next door because it's not a massive spot. You talk about feeling the energy of the crowd, like, on that. On that little stage. You're in it with those kids. Like, y' all are on a journey together. [00:17:43] Speaker B: Yeah, like, yesterday, like the Whiskey Jam, right? I'm top shelf. I can't really, like, feel their energy there. I'm like, oh, my God. Subs rock. You're in it. I'm in it. I'm like, get me in there. Yeah. Yeah. Common country sick. Thank you, Steph. Thank you, Noah. Thank you, everybody from the Common country team. I've been playing there once a month. It's been super, super cool, right? Because as I'm playing more of my country DM stuff, I'm also remixing, like, Tal Boxman like, She's so High. And they're like, oh, this works in here, too. [00:18:09] Speaker A: It does, man. It's amazing. It's amazing. And it's like the world of the crossoverness in the country, because I remember when I was coming up, it was a lot of people, and there's still a lot of people out there. Like, this ain't country, dad. But it's like the crossover elements, man, like, time is right now. [00:18:26] Speaker B: It's cool. It's like. I don't know how to probably say this analogy, right, but it's kind of like when I come here, I feel like I'm in my Halloween costume and people like, what the is this kid doing, right? It's, like, so different because, like, some people don't know EDM and some people don't know country DM could be a thing. But last night, when I was playing some of these tracks that I remixed, and they're, like, getting energy and reactions, and I was able to be like, put your hands up. And they did it, and they were having a good time. It's cool to see that emotion for somewhere where you're like, I don't even think this guy knows what EDM is or Avicii levels, you know? And I'm like, let's go, baby. You know? [00:18:58] Speaker A: Yeah, dude, it's. And for me, it's like the marriage of two things that I love, because we were down at the Floor of Ammo this past weekend for. For an event. I don't know if you've been down there or not. [00:19:07] Speaker B: It's a while at a festival. Is that where, like, hangout festival used to be? [00:19:11] Speaker A: Hangout Fest. And Sending my boots is down in that area. You know, it's in. It's in that, that Gulf region. But we were driving back and I was on. I was on the aux and I was doing the driving and I was playing like that old, like, Avici bingo player. There's like dead mouse like that. And I was. And. And I was like, this is what I remember. Riding to the party, riding on the party buses after. After high school dances, you know, man. [00:19:37] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:19:38] Speaker A: It's like there was something about. What year did you graduate high school? We're probably around the same age. [00:19:42] Speaker B: Graduated in 2013. [00:19:43] Speaker A: Yeah, we're same age. Then I graduate 2013 as well. Let's go, baby. 30. 30. Let's go. [00:19:48] Speaker B: Hey, my sister's single. No, I'm joking. I'm joking. I'm joking. [00:19:52] Speaker A: Yeah, man. But. But, yeah, it's like, it's so cool to. To see that. [00:19:57] Speaker B: Now. [00:19:57] Speaker A: Now how does that lead into Club Rodeo? Because, you guys, I remember when you launched it. It wasn't that long ago, right? [00:20:02] Speaker B: Yeah. We did our first Club Rodeo party at superior ingredients October 3rd. Super cool. @ where? Superior. [00:20:09] Speaker A: Ingredients. Superior Ingredients. What is that place? Like, I. I'm not. [00:20:12] Speaker B: Familiar. I love the name, if I'm not wrong. I believe it was the old output. And I. That was cool. [00:20:18] Speaker A: Okay. It's a cool room. Yeah. [00:20:20] Speaker B: Yeah. I think I saw Dom Dolla there in like 2018. I was like, yo, this guy was this. He was playing this song called like, Randy. And I was like, this is pretty cool. [00:20:28] Speaker A: Right? [00:20:28] Speaker B: Now. Look at him, right? Superior Ingredients was like a dream venue to play at, right? Because, like, let's say you didn't like country, didn't like edm. Just the rooftop itself is a stuff sell, right? Because the view is perfect. Right? But putting the event together was, like, amazing, right? Because I was like, I want to be more of like a showman for the show. So I brought in live violin, sax. We had the disco ball. We had bubble machines, we had merch, we had different costumes. And as I'm like, trying to come up more creative ideas, I'm like, how can I keep building this into, like, an experience instead of just like, oh, I'm just going to see another DJ show, you know, like, they could just Pull up and plug in and play. But it's like, first you're getting country Edmund, then you're getting live instruments, Then you have me on the mic being a jerk. [00:21:07] Speaker A: Off. How y' all feel? Yeah, yeah. [00:21:09] Speaker B: Yeah. Who likes fresh baked bread? Is this guy saying? And you got a beautiful skyline there. So it's been like a long building process, right? Because as it's such a new space and as I'm still developing my name in the space, it's like a struggle because, like, I'm trying to step away from, like, damn, we're not selling enough tickets, right? But I'm like, I don't care if there's 10 people in front of me or a thousand, right? I want those 10 people to be like, that was a sick show. And how can that double to 20? To 40? To 20? [00:21:35] Speaker A: Yeah. Because then they bring their friends. [00:21:36] Speaker B: Bro. Exactly. Yeah. One of the things that I've been doing different lately, and this is something I haven't been. It's just like, how do I properly track, like, people at a show through data? Because, like, you know, you throw an event and, like, you send them to a ticket link, but then, okay, how am I gonna hit up those people after the show and be like, yo, did you have a good time? So it's been like, something I've been trying to learn more is, like, not trying to, like, put people to, like, a num. Like a number, like, everybody's ones and zeros. But ideally, like, when you're done with a show, how do we get these people to come back to the next show and retarget them for the next club rodeo in New York? So I've been just trying to focus on that for these club Rodeo events, which is. It's hard, but we're. [00:22:12] Speaker A: Trying. My best, dude. That's the way to do it. Honestly, Nikki T, my business partner with, raised Rowdy and. And I talk about it all the time about the importance of data, because it's like, with us, we. We host six events in town a month. We work with a bunch of festivals. Like, we're on the road, like 25 weekends next year. Year we're going to be busy. But it's like, how do we capture that? How do we capture that data to let them know that we're doing something. [00:22:33] Speaker B: Else? 100%. 100%. Yeah. It's been. There's like this new platform been using Shout Out Pinpoint, right? So, like, as an artist, there's something called Link Tree, and you're like, here's My link tree, Right. But then there's this other platform called Lelo, right? And what Pinpoint does is it combines them both. So people just go, like, your one site, right? I put a pixel on that, and I track everybody that comes there. And now I can retarget that to be like, hey, I'm playing in your town. And it's really, really, really useful. And I'm, like, super happy that I've gotten into that. But did that when I was 21, doing shows in, like, New York City. And I was like, I wish I could retarget those people that bought tickets, but now I have nothing to, like, do that. You know, you just got to hope for the. [00:23:09] Speaker A: Best. Yeah. So where do we see Club Rodeo going? Like, how far has it expanded outside of New York. [00:23:14] Speaker B: City? So right now, Club Rodeo, right? So we're doing. I'm happy to say this, right? We just did Whiskey Jam. It's not like a Club Rodeo sets me trying to remember how before, I was kind of talking about how I'm doing more free shows. Like, all these events that I'm doing are free shows because you kind of. Kind of gotta go back to ground one, be a little. You know what I mean? You gotta be the paper boy. But as I'm trying to build it right? So this. This week was Whiskey Jam doing Country dm. Happy to say this. I don't know if I could share this, but it's coming up. So this will be after the fact we're playing MCI UMG's after party after CMA is. Oh, awesome. [00:23:44] Speaker A: Dude. Yeah, that's. [00:23:44] Speaker B: Very. A lot of those artists, like, this past two weeks, I was just. Just grinding on remixing, like, all the MCA artists, and I was like, I hope there's a lot of them. Yeah. I'm like, I hope their team's gonna be. [00:23:53] Speaker A: There. Oh, they will be. They will be. [00:23:55] Speaker B: Yeah. So as that's like, on the music side, Club Rodeo, we have. We partner with St Pete Country Fest in Tampa. So we're doing that this Friday and Saturday. And now I'm trying to gather, like, RSVPs and, like, cities that I recently played in, like, kind of like a Boston, a dc, a Charlotte, and trying to find venues that want to take a stab at what, like, Country DM and Club Rodeo is. So it's like, a. [00:24:19] Speaker A: Challenge. But do you find that it does better in the. [00:24:20] Speaker B: Summer? Yeah. And honestly, I'm not trying to do these shows at, like, an indoor club. I'm trying to make them so different. So, like, Yo, I don't. I don't fuck with Drock. I don't fuck with country dm, but like, this venue was sick. And I found my wife. I remember, like my first couple of shows, I was like, yo, even if you don't like the music, you'll find your wife here. And actually, one of my boys is getting married to a girl he met at a show. Now let's. [00:24:42] Speaker A: Go. That's. [00:24:43] Speaker B: Awesome. Yeah, yeah. [00:24:44] Speaker A: Yeah. That's so cool. I think of like the places like the Secrets and the. The Martels and the. And the Janks and like, there's vibe. There's vibes and. [00:24:54] Speaker B: Venues. The jinx. The vibe that you get from there is just like I. [00:24:57] Speaker A: Want. Yeah, there's venues like that all over the country. Barn ever hit. [00:25:00] Speaker B: Where? Boardy Barn on Long. [00:25:01] Speaker A: Island. No, I'll be honest. I've only been to the island twice. It was to look at Hofstra. And I go in there because it's just. I mean, bro, it's like for those. I don't know, it's like, say Long Island's like right here. I'm literally like, right here. And the city's in between this water bottle in here. But the traffic to get from the water bottle to there, bro, it's like. Cuz where I was. I don't know if you. Have you been to Rockland at all? Like Nyak Palisades Mall, like the T. See, there was no reason for you to go there. It's like for me, it was like the island there was not there. Like the city's in between, you know? So I get hit up all the time with people being like, have you been to this place? Have you been to that place? Like, I've never even been to Jones beach. [00:25:42] Speaker B: Bro. Oh, Jones beach here is. [00:25:44] Speaker A: Insane. Cuz. I. Cuz I had Bethel woods in upstate and I had PNC Bankard center in Homedale, so it was like I didn't have to deal with the city. It's. That was just where I went, you. [00:25:53] Speaker B: Know? No, I get that. That's why I remember you're like, yo, how many shows do you. On Long Island? Like, no, I got to put in the city so people Jersey can meet me. [00:25:59] Speaker A: There. Yeah. [00:26:00] Speaker B: Bro. Going to freaking Mad. [00:26:01] Speaker A: Land. No. Has Hoboken been a spot for you at. [00:26:03] Speaker B: All? I love Hoback Hoboken. I. I played a spot there on a football Sunday. I think it was called Mad Hatter. Have you ever been. [00:26:10] Speaker A: There? Yes, I've been. I've been to the Hatter. [00:26:12] Speaker B: Rowdy. It was rowdy. I love Hoboken. All my boys from JMU live there now, too. I got to get back out there for sure. [00:26:18] Speaker A: Yeah. Hoboken's like, the spot for the guys and girls that work in the city but can't afford to live in the city, so. They live in Hoboken, bro. Like, that's, like, the spot. And the pizza out there is unbelievable. The vibes like Hoboken to me. Very underrated place. Like, I brought Nikki T. Up there, and he's from Pittsburgh originally, and he's not a big New York City guy. He's like, bro, the city's a lot. But I could live in Hoboken. And I'm like. [00:26:40] Speaker B: Cool. It's gorgeous there. [00:26:41] Speaker A: Too. Hoboken, Journal Square, Jersey City, like, those areas, there's. There's a lot of opportunity. [00:26:47] Speaker B: There. [00:26:47] Speaker A: Yeah. With. [00:26:47] Speaker B: Music. [00:26:48] Speaker A: Yeah. And I feel like country's starting to work its way into. [00:26:50] Speaker B: That. Yeah. Like, honestly, like, Steph building out country. [00:26:53] Speaker A: Swag. [00:26:54] Speaker B: Yeah. I'm a country bar. There's more, like, developing space for country. Right. And as I want to, like, develop. My name is, like, the New York City country guy. I want to keep building that. And it's cool, right? Because there's a lot of people that's deep spin country dm. And I'm not trying to, like, say I don't know them. Right. But, like, I want to, like, develop this base here to be like, oh, now when other big country people come inside, like, come play at MSG Radio City, they can hit me up. Be like, yo, we're doing an after party. We're bringing it to Common Country Bar or something like that. Yeah. [00:27:20] Speaker A: Sick. Yeah. Dude, that's awesome. How did you first get linked up with. [00:27:23] Speaker B: Stephen? Damn. She shot me an email. She's a little sales tactic woman. I know how she is. She shot me an email. She's like, hey, saw your country get up its country EDM mixes on SoundCloud. Love this. Like, would love to book you. Not knowing that she wanted to book me for New Year's, and I was like, well, I'm. I had a. I was playing a wedding in Australia, and I was like, I'm flying back on the 30th. [00:27:48] Speaker A: And I was back up. How does that happen? Is that just a buddy? Is that just a buddy or is that a fan? Or. How do. [00:27:55] Speaker B: You. How do you get booked for, like, family out there? Family, friends. They're, like, the best people ever for. I don't really play weddings much. [00:28:01] Speaker A: But I'm like, I was gonna say, you don't strike me as a guy who's wedding deep, but I mean, Australia and it's like family. [00:28:06] Speaker B: Friends. Yeah, I'm on the mic. Can I please have the bride of the groom? You know, I'm like, oh, naturally. I'm like, three, two. [00:28:12] Speaker A: One. Put your hands. [00:28:14] Speaker B: Yeah. So I was flying back and then I was like, yo, I have nothing for New Year's. And that's like on the back of her mind. She told me, she was like, yes, I needed you for New Year's because she didn't have a dj because they just opened up Common Country Bar, like late November, early December time frame. And then I played there and it was rocking. And that's when I met Steph. And then I knew she was Irish and I was like, you want to get a Guinness? And then. Yeah, then we had a Guinness. And then after that we just became like best friends. We were just like, because she's from Broad Channel, probably only like a 30 minute drive for me. We just got along real well. So. Great. [00:28:42] Speaker A: Person. That's awesome. Have you been to any concerts with. [00:28:45] Speaker B: Her? [00:28:45] Speaker A: Yeah. Steph's a big step. Is like the concert. [00:28:48] Speaker B: Queen. No, the Tri State. She's. I. I honestly hate surprises. Growing up as a kid, I didn't like it. And she's like, yo, I got us something. We're going here randomly somehow. My red rocks were. That was sick. Saw Mitchell, saw Jordan Davis. That was insane. Then she took me to Radio City for Jordan Davis again. Dirk Bentley is at msg and she's like, you know, she's plugged up, she's super nice and sweet and like, everybody's like, yo, we got you backstage now. Backstage. These, like, country shows. I'm like, this is way different than edm. Yeah. And I'm like, you know, not really wearing like a country fit as I'm trying to, like, keep my. [00:29:19] Speaker A: Brand. No, but you're you, bro. You don't have to dress up and play cowboy. You're Derek. Yeah, yeah, yourself. [00:29:27] Speaker B: Bro. That's it. Yeah, but she's been taking me a bunch of shows. She's super great and she's been plugging me up, right? Like, she's going out of her way to be like, hey, these are my connections that I. [00:29:35] Speaker A: Made. [00:29:35] Speaker B: Yeah. Throughout this process, like, I believe in you. Let's keep pushing this, right? So she's partnering me on Club Rodeo and we're trying to build this up. I think, like, long term goal, right. Would be like, let's do a club rodeo event in, let's say five to eight cities this next year. See how they go, replicate that. See if we can do like a takeover stage at like, you know how like EDC has edc, right? And I'm not trying to say, I'm trying to copy that, but let's say, I don't know, St. Pete Country Fest next year wants to do a club rodeo takeover where I can book some of the DJs there to play Club Rodeo, like in between sets. That'd be. [00:30:07] Speaker A: Sick. I think that would be like, like in between sets. I think the DJ thing works very well at after parties too, naturally. Like, and at festival after parties and particularly in like, small towns. Like, I've. I remember we do a festival every year. Crossroads 41. It's in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. This past year, predominantly country, but some of the openers included Nelly and Flo Rida and Jesse Murph. Yeah. Yeah, that was cool. Next year, Wiz Khalifa's on there. Like, it's ridiculous, but they have my boy Grant. They have him dj. Their side stage is. They call it a beer barn. So it's a Gian barn. And it's where the bar is, where everybody gets their beer. You could probably fit like 5 to 10,000 people in there somewhere in that, in that ballpark. And everybody's camping at this festival. So everybody just goes to the beer barn and grant just DJs till 2 in the morning. It's like opportunities like that where it's like in a small town and you could play whatever and those people go nuts. Like, you play like the, you mix in like the, the, the stuff that we were listening to in high school, like the, the apple bottom jeans and the, and these, these folks in Wisconsin go nuts, you know, like middle America loves that. So I think there's no bounds to where Club Rodeo could. [00:31:18] Speaker B: Go. [00:31:19] Speaker A: Yeah. In terms of festivals and where you could get on, you can get on stage and get behind the table and do your. [00:31:24] Speaker B: Thing. It's just shooting your shot. A lot of the gigs I'm doing right now are super like, you know, low income, breaking even or doing them for free and just getting. [00:31:30] Speaker A: Broke. But that's what you were, that's what you were doing. That's where I learned that's what. [00:31:34] Speaker B: That'S. Yeah, I was. [00:31:35] Speaker A: Raised. [00:31:35] Speaker B: Yeah. That's why that was like, keep your job. I was like, oh, yeah. [00:31:39] Speaker A: Man. But that's. You're betting on yourself and you're getting to go. Go around. Now what is the response been for. For Club Rodeo. Have you gotten like, reach outside of the city with it where folks are starting to take notice, you. [00:31:50] Speaker B: Think? I guess something to share that I don't really see much right after I pivoted from like posting like normal drock stuff. Get up, it's game day. My original music and it was mostly like, let's make that the main focus. When I pivoted the focus to the country, they haven't put the other stuff, like more of like stories on Instagram and just like kind of low key. The. The growth, the past like two months, right? And I never really like focus on like follower accounts or everything, but the growth on like social media and all the algorithms have been cranking, right. It's been cool to see because I'm like, why was I putting this on the back end? But now when I put it on the front end, yeah, you see the growth and you're like, this is cool. So like, just as an example, right? We grew like 12,000 followers in a month. And I was like, damn, that's awesome. Where the hell that come from, right? I was that. That took me. I've been doing it, what, for eight years now. It took me like eight years to probably get up to like 30K. Now we're almost hitting like 42K followers. You know, I'm like, damn, okay, cool. There's some growth here, right? So you just got to keep feeding the biz, the, the business and the beast, you know? Because as I want to like keep doing this for a living, it's like you got to make business decisions, but then you also have to make strategic decisions decisions too, with the music side of. [00:32:56] Speaker A: Things. Yeah, dude, it's. It's strategy, it's art. Now how often are we doing drock. [00:33:01] Speaker B: Releases? Yeah, so I'm finishing up an EP right now. So during like, example is like during like Club Rodeo from September up until December, right? Club Rodeo is October 3rd. It's pure ingredients. But I was starting like to release my EP during this time and I was like, damn. I'm battling between like pushing country dm. But my EP wasn't really country dim. It was like piano house feel good vibes. So I had to like kind of like filter in a way of like putting that behind the Club Rodeo so I could put the focus there because I didn't want people to be like, what am I getting when I come here, right? You're going apple picking. You're like, how'd I get this pumpkin? You know what I mean? So I wanted it to be like, kind of strategic. So now the EP I have, I have a six song EP. The last song comes out December 12th right now. But we just released one last Wednesday and it's been going well, right? But I put in the back end. But strategically been doing like marquee showcases on Spotify and pushing that. We've been getting some great editorial playlists. Right. But when you go to my page, it's like strictly country M. But if you go to my Spotify, I want to develop more of like the country DM side. Because you can only get that on SoundCloud and YouTube, which is why, like, playing that after party, maybe on Wednesday, I'll play like remixes for some of these artists. Like, yo, that was sick. I've never heard this. Then they'll be like, okay, let's put this out officially. Which people don't understand. Like, sometimes I post this stuff. Like, why can't I listen to Sun, Spotify or Apple music? I'm like, well, there's copyright involved. I got to get this approved. And it's like sometimes when I post stuff on SoundCloud, like, I can't even upload it. I got to make it 10 minute long because that's how they can't really track it. Sorry. [00:34:29] Speaker A: Soundcloud. Yeah, it's like, truth. [00:34:31] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, I have to like, like, the song finishes. I just put bird noises. Like, yo, did you know you put bird noises for like seven minutes after this? I'm like, yeah, my bad. I didn't know. Soundcloud's like, we hate. [00:34:41] Speaker A: You. Yeah. No, dude. And being. Getting in the room with the, with the UMG MCA party, I mean, that's. There's so many artists over there and there's so many artists that are doing the remix thing right now to where it's like, that market's. [00:34:56] Speaker B: Open. It's open. It's free, dude. It's like free real estate. Well, not free. It's real estate, but we got to get there. So. Yeah, you. [00:35:01] Speaker A: Know? Yeah. Who would be like, some. Some what? What mixes are you, like, most proud of that you've done on the countryside? Like, who would be one where you're like, I want this to come. [00:35:10] Speaker B: Out. Yeah. Yeah. So I finished one for Jordan Davis. Turn this truck around. I absolutely love it, love playing it live. It just the reaction I get. Love Mitchell Tempany that. That when they did their shows at Radio City and Red Rocks, it was just like, damn. I really, really, really with them, you know? So the two remixes for. [00:35:27] Speaker A: Them. Have you. Have they gotten to hear the. [00:35:29] Speaker B: Remixes? I don't know. That's. That's where I struggle. Right. I don't know if they have their hands on it. So it's like, there's the beast of, like, you got to promote stuff on social media and hopefully they'll see it. Right. But, like, I'm still trying to make my way into the space to be like, oh, I know this person. I hope they can hear it. Yeah. So I don't know individually because I don't talk to them on a friendly basis. Right. But that'd be sick one day. But, like, I'm trying to make sure, like, that I can potentially send it to their team and it gets around or like a social media post goes viral. Right. But those are the two that I'm really happy about then. Josh Ross and Sam. [00:36:00] Speaker A: Hunt. Oh, bro. Yeah, Josh. Josh is the homie, man. I've known. I've known that guy like, five, six years. [00:36:06] Speaker B: Now. Like. [00:36:06] Speaker A: That'S. That's my. We had a wild night at Common Country. That was like the one. One of the few times that I've had the opportunity to go. Josh was doing a radio show in Long island and we were in town for the old 60 concert at. Where the hell was it? One of the. One of the famous theaters up there. I forget which. Which one. It was in New York City. But we went. [00:36:27] Speaker B: To. [00:36:27] Speaker A: We. Me and the crew that I had for that show all went to Common country. And then I told Stephan, like, hey, Josh might be coming through. He's like, no. And then Josh was. Josh was there and they. They were. We were hanging out and. [00:36:39] Speaker B: Partying. Yeah. [00:36:40] Speaker A: Yeah. He was just ordering buckets of Surfside. I'm like, this is. [00:36:43] Speaker B: Wild. Shout. [00:36:43] Speaker A: Outs. Yeah, he went through. Yeah, yeah. He was getting buckets of. Buckets of cans. Lots of depletions going on there. And bottles of Jack. And he had to run up a crazy tab. And luckily he made his flight that was like five or six o' clock in the morning. He did confirm that he made his flight, but it was wild. But he's another guy where it's like his voice, you can just put it. [00:37:03] Speaker B: Over. [00:37:03] Speaker A: Yeah. Kind of anything and it'll sound. [00:37:05] Speaker B: Sick. Yeah. I think where I'm taking it more is like, I'm taking. It's cool to see this, right? Because, like, I have some instrumentals and some tracks and tracks. Like, let's say I made a remix for a song. Didn't come out. I take that vocal off and I Save that in a bank. So I'm going through, like, banks of music that I've made for the past three, four years, right. Have about 100 instrumentals. And now I'm like, okay, let's revamp these because they're never coming out. So right now there's this Sam Hunt remix that I'm working on. And I'm like, wow, this was in the same key and it fits like a glove. And I was like, this was never going to come out. But now potentially, like, I want to release this on Soundcloud. Unless their team likes it, put it out officially. But I'm like, I'm taking my old caliber and just like recycling it and firing it away now, because now I'm putting these country vocals over it. And I was like, there's some changes that I have to make, like the melody and the rhythm and everything like that. But it sounds great and it's cool to see. Like, that was never gonna come out, but now I think it is, you. [00:37:58] Speaker A: Know? Yeah, dude, that's freaking awesome. You got a lot. There's a lot of opportunity. [00:38:02] Speaker B: I'm. Dude, I'm scared. I'm nervous, but I'm happy. It's a. [00:38:05] Speaker A: Different. If you weren't scared or nervous, then you. You shouldn't be doing it because that means you don't give a. [00:38:09] Speaker B: Damn. That's. [00:38:10] Speaker A: It. Like, if you care, you're gonna have those. Those fears and have those nerves. If you didn't care, then you wouldn't give a. You know, it's because you care, and it's because you give a. [00:38:20] Speaker B: Bro. That's it. That's life. If you don't give a, then you just don't care. Right? And I think I always struggle, like, week of shows. It just like, everybody's like, yo, are you excited? You look stressed. I'm like, yeah, I'm stressing out. I want this to be the best show that they remember. You know, Find your wife at the show. Everybody remembers this. And I want to put a. A great show in front of somebody so they come back. Be like, that was sick. I got to invite all my boys to the next one. Different cities, you. [00:38:42] Speaker A: Know? Yeah, man. 100%. So what do we. [00:38:45] Speaker B: Have? [00:38:45] Speaker A: We. So have you been to a country music festival. [00:38:47] Speaker B: Before? Whoa. [00:38:51] Speaker A: No. Or St. Pete's gonna be your first. [00:38:53] Speaker B: One. St. Pete's the. [00:38:53] Speaker A: First. You're going to a big. [00:38:54] Speaker B: One. I know. And we figured out, like, I'm doing a little pop up set at Country Central Stage, so I'm hopping on to play a little set. Right. But I've never like, never been to a strictly just country festival. Right. I've done a lot of the EDM. [00:39:07] Speaker A: Festivals. They are, they are special. Yeah, they're special down there. You're gonna have. And that lineup is wild. And you're gonna have a lot of people down. [00:39:16] Speaker B: There. [00:39:16] Speaker A: Okay. Like it is a lot of people. That one, that one. I would estimate probably somewhere between the price somewhere since I mean it's second year of it. So I would estimate somewhere between 15 to 25,000 a day. Okay, maybe, maybe, maybe 20 to 30. But how good that lineup serve sides? Oh, bro, it's gonna be, it's gonna be. I mean it's, it's gonna be a lot of fun. But you'll see. I mean there's such a cultured to the country festivals and there's so many of them now that I think that's going to be a. [00:39:44] Speaker B: Great. I got, I got to dabble more in the space. Right. I grew up just going to like pasha in New York City and like more the EDM clubs. But I want to get more into like going to these festivals and seeing like the lifestyle. Cuz I always loved camping at music festivals and being up until like 5am just being reckless, walking around a. [00:39:58] Speaker A: Forest. [00:39:59] Speaker B: Yeah. But I'm excited to see the scene. Right. Cuz you got to just like feed into the culture a little bit more. [00:40:04] Speaker A: Right? Yeah, man. I think, I think Florida, with that being a market that, that you're familiar with too. The great place to. [00:40:09] Speaker B: Start. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been to Tampa a bunch playing there. Like the. We're doing the after party at a place I played at. It's called Bar Howie, but they rebranded it. It's crazy, right? Like they had a bar called Bar Howard now they call, they call it actually Sunset Rodeo. And we're doing the official after party for Club Rodeo there. Like that's Tampa being like, yo, we know there's country music here. Let's. Let's do something. I'm like, fuck, yeah, I'm in. I'm bringing up. I'm bringing the heat, you. [00:40:33] Speaker A: Know? And that could turn into a tour stop for you. [00:40:35] Speaker B: Guys. Exactly. Then I'll be like, okay, this is the official after party this Saturday, right? And then let's see how it goes. And they're like, okay, word. Let's bring this like a. I don't know, like a residency where I come there like three or four times a year and people like, okay, this could be. [00:40:45] Speaker A: Sick. Yeah, what are your thoughts on Atlantic City? Because there's a lot of DJ stuff that goes on down. [00:40:51] Speaker B: There. Yeah. [00:40:51] Speaker A: Yeah. Do you. Do you. I'm sure that's a place where you've played and you've been to and you've enjoyed shows and probably lost some money, hopefully won some money. But, like, how. What. What do you think of the state of, like, where AC's at right now? Because I was up there, like, not long, long. [00:41:04] Speaker B: Ago. Yeah. Yeah. I had a residency at HQ2. I played there, like, five times a year. It was sick. After the residency, I tried throwing, like, a branded party called Recess, which was just, like, before Club Rodeo, where, like, you know, I had to pivot, right. Because I was like. I wanted to do a branded party called Recess, but there wasn't a concept that I could sell, really. It was just my music. And then I had a saxophone player, and it was like. I don't know the concept here, but, like, now Club Rail. The concept is country, Edmund. Live sax, live. Bail in. And as I'm building out more of, like, the whole creature to that. It's. It's building. But we did that on a Sunday in Atlantic City at hq. Rained outside. I had to move it inside. But I. I actually. Sorry. I love Atlantic City because I just love the. The Gringy. [00:41:47] Speaker A: Ratchet. I'm just down with Myrtle. It's like Myrtle beach for. [00:41:51] Speaker B: Jersey. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dirty jerseys. I love it, but it's always good to go back there. I don't know when I'll be back there. I'll probably be back there in March. [00:41:59] Speaker A: Though. I was gonna say, is that. Is that somewhere you could see Club Rodeo potentially working? Because there's a lot of country shows that happen down. [00:42:05] Speaker B: There. 100. Yeah. I think it's crazy. You just got to see what, like, the markets, Right? I think when I started doing more country DM shows, what I noticed is the country DM shows in more of, like, the Southern places. Like, we did a country DM show at College Stations, at College Station, at Texas A and M. Yeah. Didn't sell well at all. At all. I was like, what the hell? I thought this would work. Now we do a country EDM show at Penn State where I'm like, okay, where these are more northern people sold out in less than 24. [00:42:32] Speaker A: Hours. [00:42:33] Speaker B: Yeah. 500 tickets like that. It's. It's a different beast that you're just like, I don't know. So you just take a gamble on everything. Who knows? Maybe Atlantic City really loves country we don't. [00:42:41] Speaker A: Know. I don't think I saw a show there years ago. It was funny. Luke Combs played. He was the opener for Brantley Gilbert back in like. [00:42:48] Speaker B: 2016. 16. [00:42:49] Speaker A: Yeah. Like way back in the day. And it's like they've always had con. They've had a lot of country shows down there and they have that barefoot country music fest that's down there. Wildwood. Like there is a lot of country in Jersey. To where. But it's like they're also familiar with the. [00:43:03] Speaker B: Edm. [00:43:03] Speaker A: Yeah. So it's like they get that part of. [00:43:05] Speaker B: It. I'm gonna. What's the Jersey national anthem. [00:43:09] Speaker A: Calling? I think it's that and then living on of prayer. Those are the two where I'm like, Jersey. [00:43:18] Speaker B: Wow. Okay. I put living over prayer over that. I think it's the same. [00:43:21] Speaker A: Key. [00:43:23] Speaker B: Yeah. These Gus make it right. [00:43:26] Speaker A: Now. That's freaking awesome, man. That's awesome. What do you like doing when you're not doing music? So I know you're grinding right now. You've been grinding, but what, what do you like doing when you're not doing that stuff? You a big sports guy. Like, what do you like. [00:43:38] Speaker B: Doing? This is going to be weird. The last month I just moved into Queens and there's been like a lot of alone time. Touring has been slowing down as I'm like pivot more to country. I'm revamping. Right. I've been doing a lot of. [00:43:49] Speaker A: Legos. [00:43:49] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wasn't like the biggest LEGO guy growing up, but it just like teaches you patience. And like when I'm making music, sometimes I never finish a song and I'm like, I never come back to it. But with the Lego, I can see the final product. Yeah. And I like being able to finish it. So it's something that makes me feel like an affirmation of like, wow, I can finish something. So I try and take that LEGO back to music. So recently, a lot of. [00:44:13] Speaker A: Legos. How many, how many pieces? Like how big? How big are you. [00:44:16] Speaker B: Going? No, not that big. I started off. [00:44:17] Speaker A: Small. Are you doing like Death. [00:44:19] Speaker B: Star? No, no, no. I'm not that talented. I only got my grade seven, so. I'm joking, I'm joking. No, only like 500 pieces. But it's just like something that I know I can hit between like a two to three hour time span. Sometimes takes me ten. I'm a little stupid on the side, but. But yeah, I've been doing Legos. I'm 29 now. Right. So as my freaking posture. So. [00:44:41] Speaker A: Bad. Your birthday's got to be coming up then. [00:44:42] Speaker B: Right? Hell, yeah, baby. [00:44:43] Speaker A: Capricorn. Oh, See you early. So late December. [00:44:46] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I've also been stretching a lot. I've been stretching for, like, 20, 30 minutes every day. Something I've been doing different. How's. [00:44:53] Speaker A: That? How. How does that make you feel? Because that's something where I'm like. My flexibility. I'm like. That could probably help. [00:44:59] Speaker B: Me. So this past summer, because I was Airbnb in different locations because, like, gratefully, I still have a great relationship. My parents. I was staying at home, but I was touring, and I was like, I don't want to move out because I'm only home for two weeks out of the month. This past summer, I was in San Diego. I got into, like, more of, like, yoga, and I was like, wow, I love this. And it makes you feel great in the morning. And then once you stretch, you just feel, like, rejuvenated. And I've just been doing that every morning as much as I can. Like, today did it for, like, 15 minutes. You just feel great. Obviously, my posture is super, super bad right now, but, yeah. You know, growing up, playing sports, you're always like, you always have to stretch before you play. Right. And I was like, I stopped doing that. And I'm like, why did I ever stop doing that? You know, it's like, every day. You should stretch. [00:45:36] Speaker A: Yeah. What sports were you. [00:45:37] Speaker B: Playing? Damn. I grew up playing soccer, roller hockey, got into. [00:45:41] Speaker A: Wrestling. I was gonna say Long Island. You gotta be wrestling or thrown around a lacrosse. Those are the. The two Long island sports. When I think of the island, I think of wrestling. I think of. [00:45:50] Speaker B: Lax. Here's a great example. So I grew up playing lacrosse. Hold on, where is. In my pocket. I grew up playing lacrosse. We had, like, for high school, I was pretty. Like, I was a stocky, short Italian kid, just run around hitting kids. I got to show you a video after this, but I grew up playing lacrosse. And we had practice in the morning for Garden City, and it was like a 6am practice for schools. Like, what the is this? I go in, you know, like, in the gymnasium. It's indoors. The gymnast lights are kind of, like, shitty. They're flickering. First ball gets past me, hits me in the helmet, I'm cut immediately. I'm like, oh. That's when I realized I needed contacts. Yeah. I still don't wear them. I gotta put them in. So I started playing tennis. That's when I was like, okay, where I'll start playing tennis. That was a lot of fun. Tennis was. [00:46:30] Speaker A: Sick. Yeah. Tennis is. [00:46:31] Speaker B: Cool. Soccer, wrestling and tennis is what I. What I ended on. I wish I stayed with hockey though. That would have been. [00:46:36] Speaker A: Sick. [00:46:37] Speaker B: Yeah. Just bodying. [00:46:38] Speaker A: People. Yeah. And that's big in Long island. [00:46:39] Speaker B: Too. [00:46:40] Speaker A: Yeah. There's drinks pretty much all over the place. I mean, they're. You're one team. Is the Islanders. Yeah, you're one. [00:46:44] Speaker B: Team. You reaction. You're a sports guy. I only really watch soccer and hockey. Honestly, I grew up watching the trash can. The Mets, the Jets, the Knicks are okay. Islanders was like a five minute like drive from my house in the Nassau Coliseum. It smelled like cigarettes. I was like, this is sick. I'm going all the time. I remember they had the holla. Haunted. Haunted Coliseum. They had like Martin Garricks when I was like sophomore year and he had animals and I was like, this place is sick. The aisles and Martin. [00:47:10] Speaker A: Garrigs. [00:47:10] Speaker B: Yeah. So, yeah. [00:47:12] Speaker A: That'S. That's why it was. It was like a barn that people took pride in in Long Island. The old Coliseum was. I never made it out there, but from what I heard, it was like. It was a special, special. [00:47:23] Speaker B: Place. I loved. [00:47:24] Speaker A: It. You know, and rooting for the trash cans right back. [00:47:26] Speaker B: Yeah. Club Rodeo. There is going to be electric. [00:47:29] Speaker A: Club Rodeo because they built the new one. [00:47:31] Speaker B: Right? Yeah, yeah. UBS arena. It's gorgeous. It's like, take the train easy. Seven minute train. Not bad. It's. I just. I was just there when they played. I was there like a month. [00:47:43] Speaker A: Ago. The Islanders are like pretty decent now. [00:47:45] Speaker B: Yeah. They got a new. [00:47:46] Speaker A: Kid. He's better. They're better than the Rangers. Rangers suck right. [00:47:49] Speaker B: Now. 18. He's ripping it up, dangling. I love that. I also love how like, hockey players talk a lot of Canadian bud. I love. [00:47:56] Speaker A: That. Yeah. Believe it or not, Nashville is a big hockey town with the predators being here. I think that more people would be happy with a Predator Stanley cup than it Titan Super Bowl. Both are very far off right now. Number one thing would be a Tennessee Volunteers national championship. That would be their biggest thing then. What are you dipping over there? You doing. [00:48:13] Speaker B: Loose? Got the Lucy's. [00:48:15] Speaker A: Baby. Lucy's. I've never had what. What milligram you go. [00:48:17] Speaker B: To. I used to be a six guy. Let me tell you. I was the Zen guy. I was a six guy. I put two in at a show and I started drooling a little bit and that's why I had to spit. And then some shows, I hand out pizza and brought the pizza out. So now I'm on stage. I'm like, oh, my God, I'm drooling. [00:48:32] Speaker A: I. So you're down to threes. [00:48:34] Speaker B: Now? I'm down to. These are. [00:48:35] Speaker A: Fours. But the fours. I'm. I'm on. I'm.

As soon as I switched from drinking, I just jumped in nicotine, and I was like, smoking cigs. [00:48:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:48:59] Speaker A: Yes. And I haven't been smoking sig since I've been doing. Doing this stuff. And the. The zins were just. What do those look like on the inside? Those, like, dry? And are those, like, a little.

Yo, one time, one of my favorite delis on Long island called Dom's Deli, they deep fry their chicken fingers and honey mustard. Like, I don't know how the. It works, right?

Fat Joe ruined it all. It's all. It's all fucking. That's all Joe's fault. I threw my Timberlands out the next day. Just kidding. I still have them. You can't get rid of the Timberlands. But. But I brought a sandwich in from, like, the local. The local deli back. Back home. I brought it on the train and everything. And when Joe. When people. When people hit home runs during the Yankee playoff games, people just throw into the air. Beers, flying, popcorn, all that. I took this Italian and I chucked it in the air.

Well, dude, I appreciate you coming out here and hanging. What do you got on tap for. [00:55:31] Speaker B: Tonight? Damn. Tonight. Working on the set for tomorrow. Honestly, I gotta focus on that because sometimes if I don't, like, do enough set prep, especially because tomorrow, the afterparty is not, like, people are going there to see me. It's more of, like, a social networking event. So I have to make sure that I'm not just, like, playing just bangers. Right? Yeah. I want to make sure I can kind of, like, read the room a little bit. So it's like I have, like, four different crates of, like, what I think will work. Okay, this might work. Let me go pivot here. Yeah, so it's a lot of set prep, and that's how we go back to, like, I just care so much. Like, I could just freestyle it, but, like, gotta showcase my stuff. Gotta showcase stuff that people want to sing to. [00:56:05] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, dude, if you end up out late tonight, I know I'm gonna be bopping around, so we'll have to shoot a.
