Dance Music for Heroes
Bass Battleground is an epic online multi-format DJ battle spanning six months and culminating with a live performance in Atlanta this December. On Sunday, October 2nd Apetonix and Kyd Kong went head-to-head, opening up the second round of Bass Battleground. I interviewed Kyd Kong back in episode 101, so today I’m thrilled to introduce Apetonix.
Bass Battleground is an online DJ competition running through mid-December and is produced by Emerald Summers Presents, an Atlanta based promoter. During this time, I’ll be bringing you shorter interviews with each of the contestants.

On Sunday, June 26th at 5pm eastern we have two new contestants for their first round, Apetonix: a bass producer and DJ from Atlanta who will be battling BaconUCrazy, an Atlanta based dubstep and EDM artist. Unfortunately due to scheduling conflicts I wasn’t able to get Apetonix on the show. However, I’m excited to introduce baconUcrazy, an up and coming Atlanta-based DJ and producer who is opening for Flux Pavilion on July 22nd.
Today’s guest is Mauro Somm, an up-and-coming techno producer from Buenos Aires, Argentina. He’s been signed on Christian Smith’s Tronic label and has had support from some of the most creative artists in the industry, including UMEK, Gallya, Joyce Mercedes, and Space 92.
on to being a DJ and producer, he hosts the popular Melodics podcast and owns the Southern Exposure Music record label. As a producer, one of his recent releases “No Place To Hide” spent many weeks on the Beatport Top 100 list and has also released multiple tracks that broke into the top 10.
With things opening up again in the United States, I’m getting ready to perform live which has me thinking a lot about DJ techniques. In this review I condense over 40 pages of notes from Digital DJ Tip’s (DDJT) Complete DJ Course into into my most essential (and surprising) takeaways.
Today on the Producer Life Podcast I’m joined by Chris Michaels, otherwise known as Cryptochronica. Cryptochronica is Chris’ glitch fusion project. A sonic weaver, Michaels blends genre and style into the glitchy bass fabric that defines Cryptochronica’s sound. Omnitempo and maximalist, Cryptochronica sets seamlessly thread funk, soul, rock, reggae, hip-hop and downtempo with the heavy bass styles of the underground.
Mike Allison has over 20 years’ experience as a DJ and has performed alongside Skrillex, Vaski, DJ Rob Swift, and more. He’s also been using Ableton since version one! During this interview we talk about finding your brand, his experience playing at Burning Man, dealing with the corona virus as a DJ/producer, and more.
In this episode I share how to prepare tracks to DJ in Ableton Live, including how I name files, warp tracks, and organize my library.
