He has a long history of repping the city with his complex work that taps into his background in hip hop/graffiti, skateboarding and comics. He has sold art to some of the cultures finest including legends like KRS and Rakim. While we don't put too much stock into any awards it is pretty cool that he has won the Pgh City Paper's 'best visual artist' award 2 of the last 3 years. We had a ton of common ground to cover and talk for over two hours about art and his process, conspiracy theories, sopranos and breaking bad, star wars, and a lot more.

Cameron 'DJ Wabi Sabi' is a remarkable human. By day he builds electronics elaborating with transistors and capacitors, by night, he connects people with melody and rhythm on dance floors across the city of Pittsburgh. As a Marine Corp veteran he was stationed on the island of Okinawa where he fell in love with Japanese culture and music. Embracing the imperfections of our short journey through life and the beauty of the present moment we meandered through more than two hours of conversation. He even blessed us with a few of his favorite records.

Chad Simon ( @arigold412 ) is connected to the heartbeat of Pgh. In the service industry, music industry, and sports industry of the 412 his name rings bells. We got into the details of the loss of his relationship with his mom and breakup with his family business, and even had a couple of phone in interviews with some corroborating witnesses. The episode was a fun one, and quite long topping out around 200 minutes.

Eric 'DJ Strobe' Cohen has been mixing records longer than I’ve been alive. He has a deep love for soulful house music and a passion for sharing the wisdom he’s acquired with the next generation of DJs and producers. As a recording artist he has dozens of number one billboard singles and multiple gold records to his credit. He has toured the world and played with legends in the electronic world like Todd Terry, Moby, and many more. Since moving to Ontario in 2018 he has been focusing on family but still DJs locally and on Twitch, produces records, and has been selling pickles (strobes disco pickles coming to a store near you.) We discuss his career, advice for up and comers, the differences between house and techno, and the golden era of dance music in NYC.   @DJJan412 @DjDigitalDave1 @DJBonics @UncleRay412 @Outtareach412 @DJNugget @DJ7Up @Moby @DJToddTerry @DefectedRecords @Dust_in_Grooves @PeteTongofficial @LouieVega @cosmicjason @Longerarmsthanu @AlexBurkat @DJDavidmorales @bukudatdude @calvinstanleyxo @artieshotsauce @Downnorthgarlic @DonaldsHoney @DJRedPgh @HoagieDreams @Hypnotyza @selecta720 #JerrysRecords @DJJellybeanBenitez @DJFrankieBones @Jeff_Mills_Official @DocMartinLA @DannyTenagliaofficial @ErickMorillo @KerriChandler @rudiman.shawn
