276 episodes - English - Latest episode: 4 months ago - ★★★★★ - 26 ratingsRebel Radio is brought to you in partnership with EDM.com The Art of Selling Without Selling Out. Rebel Radio shines a light on cultural pioneers and their influences, reflecting on the roots and future of underground culture. We engage the influencers who define what we wear, watch, listen to, and play with — and how we spend our spare time and loose change — and explore what it means to be a creative entrepreneur today. Our weekly interview show explores the journeys of those who do it best in all areas of youth culture. We learn how they stay creative in the face of relentless distract and setbacks. How they make something where previously nothing existed, how they find inspiration and influence, as well as how they inspire and influence others, and what it takes to create movements.

Mark de Clive-Lowe: Collaboration, Community and Label Partnerships
December 23, 2020 05:00 - 1 hourWe catch Mark de Clive-Lowe at home, but only because it's 2020. Otherwise, he pretty much lives on the road, jumping all over the world to play and make music that spans jazz, hip hop, house. Although the first album in his collection was Madonna's "Like A Virgin," Mark has built his career on sounds that are a lot more esoteric and a lot less mainstream. He's generous enough to share some of the secrets that have made him an underground king, and he may surprise you a little with his openne...

October 13, 2020 00:00 - 1 hourCheck out Arabian Prince's latest venture at https://covitech.us. He's doing important work to help small businesses respond to COVID-19. He was one of the founders of NWA. As he tells it, he left the group early on over business differences, but you'll also hear that the group's move into gangsta rap didn't really fit what he was about creatively. Since then, Arabian has been on a journey to blend creative and business moves in music, entertainment, and tech and has brought us some valuable ...
Icon Collective founder David Alexander: Be of Service
October 07, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 84.5 MBToday's episode opens with a story David was telling as we were setting up to record. It's so good that we kept it in the show. The beginning is cut off, but the setup is that he went to Ultra Music Festival one year with no ticket and no expectations whether he would get in or what kind of experience he would have if he did. His only rule: Don't ask for anything, just give. I won't spoil the end of the story — you'll hear it in the episode — but I will say it was a great window into David's...

Reverse episode: Ethan Baer interviews Josh about leadership
September 21, 2020 00:00 - 58 minutesOnce in a while I like to practice giving up control. This week I hand over the mic (Not literally, we both had mics otherwise you'd only hear one person which wouldn't be great unless we were doing a one-person podcast, which we aren't. So glad we cleared that up.) to my collaborator Ethan Baer. Ethan is an entrepreneur whose hustle I respect a lot, and he had some questions for me about leadership and business smarts. Of course I start out by telling him some of the ways I've screwed up ove...

Disco Donnie: Time + Effort + Love
September 14, 2020 00:00 - 1 hourLegendary rave promoter Disco Donnie is our guest this week. He was perhaps the only promoter to be prosecuted under the draconian "crack house statutes" that were invoked to try to bring down dance music in the late 90s. Even that couldn't stop him. Today, his operation is stronger than ever. Donnie recently bought back the company that bears his name and is producing some of the most popular raves in the country. Even in the middle of a pandemic, Donnie is making bold moves. He's got big le...
Jerry Wonda: Make people feel good
August 26, 2020 00:00 - 51 minutesJerry Wonda's discography reads like the Billboard chart: Since co-producing the Fugee's mega-hit album The Score, he's worked with artists including Carlos Santana, Mary J. Blige, Busta Rhymes, Miguel, Lupe Fiasco, Migos, Melissa Etheridge, DJ Khaled, Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys, Michael Jackson, and many more.

Peace Inside Live with Shira Lazar and Jordana Reim: How to make the most of what you have
August 05, 2020 00:00 - 1 hourI love this one because we're highlighting two entrepreneurs building something in the middle of a pandemic. They aren't waiting for things to get back to normal. They know they don't have it all figured out. They're just executing. They're passionate about the cause, and they're using what they have to create value, to be a beacon for other people, and to build a community of people who care about the same things. Sounds like a formula for success. Shira Lazar was a previous guest on the sho...
Felix Jaehn: How to water the good seeds

Just before quarantine, Felix visited the Plum Village Buddhist Monastery in France (is that like a new age Slum Village?) to get his head right. In our interview, he shares some generous insights into what he's gone through to balance persona...
Raymond Roker: How to win by evolving with the seasons
July 22, 2020 00:00 - 1 hourThis is a special episode. Raymond Roker has been more of a mentor to me than probably anyone else. He gave me my first job out of college and he helped me start a career in marketing when we launched an agency together over 20 years ago. Even though it's been more than a decade since we've worked together, I still hear his voice in my head sometimes when I'm considering big decisions. He's also the founder of URB Magazine, which more than any other media, defined underground culture in the U...

June 30, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour"We're all human and we're all going to have some days where it feels like the walls are crashing in around us. But most of the time, I think if you can focus on the tasks at hand rather than the big picture, that's going to keep you kind of occupied." Wise words on staying focused during these trying times from Adam “Shmeeans” Smirnoff, guitar player for Lettuce, one of the funkiest live bands out there. For those who don't know, Lettuce is one of the bands keeping funk alive with performa...
Bear Grillz: Build The Hype
June 24, 2020 00:00 - 1 hourBear Grillz is in a category with Marshmello, Deadmau5, Daft Punk — he DJs in costume, in his case a giant bear head.

What a great way to learn the business! Now, he's begun exploring his identity without the costume, and at the same time tackling important issues of mental health that affect him and fans alik...
Ryden: Be Your Own Superhero
June 09, 2020 00:00 - 1 hourOne of the amazing things about music is how people come to it as a career. Some start out as kids and never stop down that path. Others pick it up late and just jump right in. Ryden shows us that maybe the path matters. She studied classical music as a kid, then became an athlete and martial artist, a pre-med student in college, a TV host doing interviews on red carpets, and then finally started DJing, rapping, and producing. She also overcame physical and mental health challenges and, as s...

sKitz Kraven: I want patience, but I don't want to wait for it
April 22, 2020 00:00 - 55 minutesThis is one of those "don't judge a book by its cover" episodes. sKitz Kraven is a horrorcore rapper and has been called "the Marilyn Manson of rap," which either appeals to you or it doesn't. What we found out is that as an artist and businessperson, he's much more complex than that. Sure, he makes angry, dark, twisted music that has helped to settle the rage inside him and connect with the rage inside his fans. But he's also exploring other sounds and energies and sharing them through a #...
Dennis White aka Latroit: Is selling out even still a thing?
April 08, 2020 00:00 - 23 minutesIt's another episode of my ongoing debate with Dennis White about everything related to music, business, and culture.

So far we've had Kenny Larkin, Latroit, Tuxedo, Rude Jude, Josh Glazer, Chris Denson, and I'm sure I'm forgetting some. And yet, Detroit's contributions to culture run so deep, we've barely even scratched the surface. Steingold is the epitome of doing it for the love. He produces house and techno music, and DJs, often touring with Mike D from the Beastie Boys. He also worked at...

Ryan Kavanaugh: How to be a player (without playing the game)
February 19, 2020 00:00 - 1 hourRyan Kavanaugh has been a controversial figure in entertainment.

Ryan came by the studio to tell us how he's tackling the future of media and culture with Triller, building the next big Hollywood idea with t...
Tayy Brown: I get DMs talking about "you changed my life"
January 29, 2020 00:00 - 52 minutesTayy Brown didn't set out to make music with a message, but sometimes the message finds you.

John Lewis: More throttle, less brake
January 22, 2020 00:00 - 1 hourJohn Lewis is what you get when you combine a corporate dude, an entrepreneur, and a motorcyclist. He's passionate, but tempered, realistic.

Junior Sanchez LIVE at ADE: Look how records affect people
January 08, 2020 00:00 - 55 minutesThis episode is a master class in house music. Junior Sanchez is perhaps the youngest of the house music dons. He's at the tail end of the giants who defined the genre and set the pace for the generations to follow— guys like Kenny Dope and Louie Vega, Armand van Helden, Roger Sanchez, Todd Terry, Harry "Choo Choo" Romero, Kerry Chandler. Junior plays the kid brother, and in that role, he's the one stirring thing up, crossing genres, challenging the status quo. In a room full of rebels, he's...

Samantha Ronson: The Tastemaker LIVE from Cannes Lions
August 27, 2019 00:00 - 1 hourI met up with Samantha Ronson at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity and we sat on the rooftop of the FQ Lounge overlooking the Bay of Cannes.

Samantha shared some details of her personal life — famous family, famous relationships — and a lot about her journey as a musician. We almost managed to get into an a...
DJ Brace: Show and prove
August 07, 2019 00:00 - 1 hourThis week we sit down with DMC champion and Juno Award (that's like a Canadian Grammy) winner DJ Brace. If you look him up online, you'll learn pretty quickly that the term DJ doesn't really do him justice. Sure, he plays records, but he does so much more than that. There's one video where he's working both hands and a foot pedal and basically making up songs as he goes. He also produces music. And makes tools for DJs. And designs turntables. And plays festivals. And teaches. And more. Che...
