Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts

Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Yeah, I was working at Ernst & Young here in Chicago, actually.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
A year and a half until we mutually parted ways. Okay, so you got fired.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Yes. I mean, I'd show up late to work every single day with like bloodshot eyes because I'd be DJing at night. Yeah. Yeah, I was a terrible employee.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Yeah, because I wasn't making any money DJing. And so it was kind of just doing it as a hobby and a passion. And so, yeah, counting during the day, DJing at night. And then I was always releasing music on SoundCloud and everything like that, too. Then it started going more and more viral. And then I started touring. I was only making like $200, $300 a night.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
And then it wasn't really until COVID and the whole world locked down in 2020 where all the TikToks and stuff started going insanely viral.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
so your music on tiktok yeah so as a dj you actually got bigger during covid oh yeah when everybody else was like well i can't i can't dj because there's no crowds anywhere exactly but i was like literally broke living at home and then i think everyone else especially like entertainers like took it easy and like rested with their family and friends and stuff where i was like putting out new songs every single day yeah and just like going 100 were you working in accounting still then
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
That was like the sound went viral, but it was more so like just getting the fans and community and like growing from like 1,000 followers to 10,000 to 100,000. So it wasn't like one specific song. Right.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Well, so I wasn't producing for TikTok. So I'd like actually release on Spotify and all of that stuff too. But I would like heavily market it on there and then do funny shit. And like, I would like go on Instagram live every day, chugging White Claws to my music. And people thought that was funny for some reason.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
It was like back when like, I was DJing on Twitch every single day, you know, like when everyone was just sitting at home getting fucked up. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
I definitely hid the hobby there's only like a couple people that knew but then once eventually like I played Coachella in 2022 and like my senior manager came to the show no shit yeah that's pretty cool yeah like some of your co-workers like do they text you being like you I hate you now pretty much yeah
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
like watching your vlogs you're jet-setting around the world and well they try to convince me like like like you know to stick with the accounting and stuff because they try they don't like just fire you right away especially in like big four accounting they try to coach you through it but i was just like genuinely terrible yeah wait so you that means i mean that you pass your cpa right that that's a hard test yeah it wasn't fun yeah so did you pass your first time
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
uh pretty much all on my first time i had to do like the tax one like three times okay now were you hiding your accounting life from the people that you were hanging out with at shows yeah oh yeah no way i talked about that it's like a full like batman like lifestyle for me do you uh do you ever miss anything about being an accountant like anything at all the stability i guess i mean come on dude it's
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Yeah, no, no, I really don't miss anything from that.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
side project something that I'm very passionate about too oh my god this is now going to change my life and I'm going to do this and be really good at it for a long time I don't know I was pretty delusional and I like convinced myself I was always going to make it especially when I left the accounting world in 2019 and like to me when I was like DJing like 200 person clubs I was like oh my god I'm huge I'm a big
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
famous DJ blah blah blah and like but then it just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger and then yeah it wasn't until like after COVID when all the festivals opened up and I did like Lollapalooza for the first time in 2022 and I did the Perry stage there and that was like actually insane and I was like oh shit I think I can really make it with this yeah that is cool so what is your songwriting process like?
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
So I usually like for, I just did an album last, it came out last July and then I write that in London. So I usually go there, write out like the chords and stuff with the vocalists and kind of just work from there. And then I do all my production in Miami right now.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
But I literally, I was just telling you before this, I produced in Chicago, just like a couple of boxes from here for like eight, 10 years.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
It's just like super basic chords though. Cause then you can just write lyrics and like melodies off that. And then you just get in the lab and start adding textures to it, all that stuff.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
That's a very good question. And that's what most people struggle with. And, um, and I'm very good at finishing tracks. Like in 2020, I literally did like a hundred tracks that year. And then, um, You kind of just have to hit a certain point when you know it's good and you have a good group of people that I send out to and they tell me that it's good and just kind of move on.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
A thousand percent.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
no literally i mean when i did like shiver i got to like version which is like one of my big records i got to version 27 and i kept sending it to people like dude we literally can't tell the difference like what are you doing right i'm just like you know running in circles basically ship it whenever you put together a song have you ever accidentally dropped the beat at the wrong point uh you had to like move it like shit well i mean i fuck up all the time yeah but i'm good at covering my fuck what are you talking about when i'm djing no no when you're actually writing a song do you have you ever moved where you put where you drop the beat like that didn't work
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
No, of course. And then, like, you just try different things. And that's, like, how you stay interesting in dance music is when you bring in the drops and stuff when people don't expect it. So we call that happy little accidents. Oh. When you, like, deal a little fuck up and you're like, wait, this actually kind of works.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Yes, I'm doing things. How much stuff are you doing? Well, it depends, right? So it's like you can be doing three to four tracks at once.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
And you have extra layering and stuff like that too. But it depends like what kind of set I'm doing. If I'm doing like a club set, I don't come in there with any single game plan whatsoever. Okay. So I guess it would be kind of, I'm trying to dumb it down as much as possible right now.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Like if I was just, if you were to show up to like a Vegas nightclub and I hand you the ox, I'd be like, yo, play for the next three hours. Right. But then you have to actually smoothly blend everything together. Make sure it's all in key. Make sure the phrasing, everything's right. Right. And you can get creative with it. Cause I had extra acapellas on top. I cut out, you know, the base and stuff.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Right. You know?
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Depends. Yeah. Cause I'm very involved with the lighting and visuals and all of that. So it's like a whole production process. So a lot of the work is done beforehand. And cause I don't know if you've seen like any of these shows at all, but everything's like time coded and synced. And then that's what we plan with the team and doing rehearsals and all of that.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
do is of course because you have to have like some of the performer aspect to it right and that's why now i'm bringing in like when i just did kia forum in la um i did three nights there i brought like a whole orchestra i saw that it was sick so that was cool and then you now like that visuals are such a big deal because i just played the sphere last month have you guys been there yet i have i've been there i'm actually going back all right for the dead yeah yeah i'm so excited and so that obviously a lot of the work is spent making visuals for that
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Wait, did you do the sphere just yourself? I played it before Anima. Okay. So he has that show. It's insane. It's the biggest, it's the most expensive show you can possibly do. So I do plan on doing it in the future, but it's a big investment. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
I was just like staring at the wall the whole time. Yeah. I was tripping out a little bit. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Yeah, you edge them.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Well, I was probably cooked while DJing. This is when I play in Miami and I do like the very long sets and I'll edge them for a good five to seven minutes. Oh, that's awesome. Especially, I mean, if it's like, if I got to go to the bathroom too, I'll put on a loop and then go run for four minutes. And they have no idea what's going on.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Are you normally? No, not the Vail shows sober. The shows after that. I was very much not sober there.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
I mean, there was like a stretch of years where I was like drinking party like five nights a week and it was just getting like too much and I was getting too wrapped up in it. And then that obviously affected my performance a little bit. So now it's like I pick and choose my battles. Yeah. Like Vegas, I do 20 times a year. That's so easy to me. So now I'm taking shots during that. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
But these big shows, especially when you do things like Coachella and stuff. Yeah. You have to be.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Pretty. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
I'm going to have to say no to that. Say no to Freebird. But my vibes are great. The vibes are great. I might be able to mix it in somehow.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
So EDM is kind of an all encompassing term that was like created by Americans. So like Europeans and the rest of the world hate it. So it's like, and I was like a snob because I started making underground music and tech house.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
stuff you hear like the warehouse parties and stuff here um and so i kind of avoid that term for the longest time but it basically means all dance music okay it means electronic electronic dance music yeah and then uh house is just four on the four you know kick clap hat and then techno it's like just a kick i mean you probably know techno when you hear it yeah exactly exactly got it
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
And then, you know, disco and then, yeah. But now all these genres are all mashed. And during my sets, I play everything. I play like dubstep to house to everything.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Oh, yeah. You can do whatever you want. Really? Yeah. So I sample everything and anything.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
well they know because i think people like their songs getting spread like when i go to like edc for example i hear my song everywhere but in a different flip in a different style yeah and then like i just like did like a britney spears remix like made it in my hotel room two hours before my set last week in sydney and now we're already figuring out how to get that officially cleared yeah that's awesome do you ever uh simple podcasts oh you could yeah
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
If you guys have a good old tagline or something, you know?
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Tahoe. Tahoe? Fuck yeah.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Yeah, sure. They told me about 10 minutes before I was doing this, so I apologize if these suck. One, do you miss performing at Spy Bar? And if you do perform there again, can me, Big Cat, and PFT come? All right. I do kind of misperform there. Have you guys ever been there before? Yeah, of course. Okay.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Yeah, it's a sick spot. And then that's where I played a lot in like 2017, basically to COVID. But yeah, if I did there, it'd have to be a little pop-up set. Because the last time I was here in Chicago, I did a pop-up at Portillo. Yeah, Jack was there. Oh, yeah, that one too. Yeah, that was fucking lit. But yeah, I think Spivar, it would have to be so low-key. I don't know.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Well, I kind of just show up. I kind of like just showing up and starting to play places and people being like, oh, fuck.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Yeah, that's true.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
But I wouldn't announce the date or anything and I wouldn't start doing it because otherwise you have a good line around the block. There's a whole fucking... We didn't get the invite. No, yes, you got the invite. That was definitely not part of it.

But Jack is going to go to the show. Where would you want to see me play if I was to play in Chicago with a father of three?
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Um, what's the worst thing someone has done behind the DJ booth?
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Oh, uh, I mean, you have all like the usual things like played levels. Yeah. Like, like, like drugs, like puking. I saw the girl steal the, steal the tea. Oh, yeah, but that's the absolute worst thing you can do is steal my tequila bottle. Oh, no. Have you seen this video? No.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
I'm going to look it up right now. Yeah, please. She just jacked your tequila bottle? No, no, I shoot her off, but she got pretty killed by the internet after that. Yeah, I mean, that's a big no-no. You can't reach on stage. While I'm DJing, that's ridiculous, right?
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Oh, here it is. Oh. Oh, out of your hand. I was like, no, I get the fuck out of here. Oh, that's insane. He's like, no.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
It was in Tampa, though, so that kind of behavior is kind of expected there. Yeah, true.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Well, I'm just like, holy shit, everyone looks crazy.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Yeah. And then when I left the accounting world, my mom was like crying her eyes out. It's like, what the fuck are you doing with your life? So I kind of had to figure it out for myself for a year. But that's like motivation, right? Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Yeah. You should be like, look at me now. Now they have too much fun. Right. I need to like send them home sometime.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
What kind of benefits does she get? Do you ever get her like free tickets to a sports game?
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Yeah. Well, I just say like entertainer and then because I have like a Vegas residency and they're like, oh, so you're like Elvis. I'm like...
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Like, my own name? Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, 100%.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
But it's kind of a good thing, though, because you don't want to be, like, a full-on household name. Like, it's kind of scary if I got to, like, the Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift level. Right. Where you can't, like, leave your house or anything.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Yeah, a decent amount, but it's normally just like, John Summitt, what's up? Oh, that's good. But not really interrupting my day or anything. That's a good spot to be. I mean, you guys get stopped for selfies all the time here. Yeah, I mean, it's fun. It's a good problem to have.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
But I'm sure it's even worse in your own domain. Cause like if I'm in like a festival or a club, it's really bad. So for you guys at a sporting events, probably. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I don't want to say bad, but you know, it's all good.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Oh my God. Yeah. I've had some trouble just like with Twitter and stuff recently. Cause people are fucking relentless there, man. Oh, tell us where we can help you out.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
It's just all bullshit. And it's just mostly because I think like I've gotten really big and you know, like when it just did easy target kind of thing. Yeah. Um, it's weird seeing like internet turn on you sometimes out of nowhere and you're like, what the fuck is this all about?
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
We hate him. But I always wonder, I'm like, should I take like the, cause like Portnoy, for example, he just fights right back and always has. And I think always will. I'm always like, should I take that stance? But then when I do it, it ruins my whole day. Cause then I'm on my phone for the next eight hours and I'm reading it all. And I'm like, fuck, I gotta actually make music.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Not just on the internet.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
He's really good at it.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
That's true. And his provides legitimate entertainment. Correct. Just get a burner. I really should at this point.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Yeah, the summit of DJing. I don't think I've reached the summit yet. I mean, there's more music. I've only done one album so far, and all my favorite artists have done multiple albums.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
um and then i still gotta do some big things like in chicago like uh can't announce anything yet but the next shows will be very big here oh but then i'm starting to um the goal is to do festivals with the experts only brand and the label i have too and signing a bunch of new artists and kind of just growing the whole scene in general oh that's very cool what would you what would you say is the best electronic song of all time and why is it sandstorm sandstorm's up there man
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
best electronic song of all time though uh i mean i'm just a huge dead mouse fan at heart so i love strobe that was the first time i ever saw electronic music was like here at la palooza when i was in high school i was seeing dead mouse and that blew my mind you were instantly like yes this is this is my life now yep because i liked bands and stuff especially throughout high school but it wasn't until i saw that show i was like holy shit this is what i can do and then i didn't then you can just go home just download the program on your computer i don't i don't use anything but my laptop to make music
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Yep.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Like elementary piano. Okay. You can just learn it all and do it all on your laptop nowadays.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
That's crazy. Yeah, yeah. And all the programs are awesome nowadays. And you can just draw in all the notes and everything. Yeah. But then I work with, now I work with like actual vocalists and stuff like that too. So it's kind of like working with a band now when I make music.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
yeah yeah have you thought about doing i you might do this already but in electronic music as at large has there been a lot of crossover between live bands like rock bands and then adding in the electronic well so zed at coachella this past weekend just had john mayer come out during his set that's cool and then he did like a live version of clarity and stuff and i thought that was really sick so oh and that's kind of like the shit that we were listening to in college if you remember the zed era and clarity and all that um yeah so uh
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Yeah, I think just evolving the music and kind of turning it into a full live experience, especially with AI and stuff nowadays, I think people crave like seeing live music.
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
but well but it could never replicate the live experience though so maybe ai can make a spotify song maybe like all that's going to be like you know robot generated like who fucking knows it's kind of creepy that you can like type in like house song i'll just make a house song out of nowhere but um you can't you can't beat a live show and that's the one thing i think some djs lack is that they just you know i think adding in all these extra elements will make it dope no vibes from ai no negative aura yeah are you gonna have john mayer do a show with you
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
No, I'm trying to think of someone else. I've got to be creative and unique. Who's a younger John Mayer?
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
Yeah. How old is John Mayer? I think we're older than him. Are we older than John Mayer?
Pardon My Take
Christian Yelich, DJ John Summit, Giannis Possible Last Game On The Bucks, Pistons Beat The Knicks, Hockey Playoffs And Listener Roasts
No, you could be a newer John Mayer, though. He's 47. He's been around forever. Dude, he's old as shit. He's washed.
