Edgar V. has been quietly earning his repertoire in and around the dance music world for over 20 years. Synonymous to his personality, it may be difficult to tell during and after one of his signature prolific Progressive house sets. They are filled with a masterful blend of orchestral strings, ethereal vocals, uplifting synth patterns with a spunk of tribal bass filled house.

Owning residencies in Miami’s most infamous dance clubs, Edgar V has been on the forefront of Miami’s dance music scene for over 20 years.

"When he gets into his frequency, there’s a sense of continued anticipation and excitement that is delivered masterfully through each of his sets. That’s what you find when you sit down with Miami’s own, Edgar V.”, says Natalia, Executive Producer & Host of the MasterMind of a DJ Podcast.

DEVIN LEZAMA IS A "DIGITAL EDM CREATIVE NOMAD" RUNNING A SUPER SUCCESSFUL ONLINE PUBLICATION CALLED EDM MANIAC….

Is the name "EDM Maniac" fitting for a guy who left a 6-figure “high level” IT position at a tech company to jump on planes, trains and automobiles just to get to the next festival, take an insane amount of photos and videos then write all about his experience and post on social media?

Yes, it would be very fitting for Devin, in my opinion. And yes, this is his career. He’s making a comfortable living now which came with a price called sacrifice.

While our host Natalia was conducting her interviews for the GCTV Interview Series, Devin was brought to her to interview.

They love tequila, they love EDM and both know what it takes to make it in this industry!

This isn't just some typical convo...it's like old souls meeting up again in this lifetime!

Cato and I worked nearly every live broadcast or remote for RADIO STATION CALLED SOUTH FLORIDA'S PURE DANCE CHANNEL, PARTY 93.1. Before we knew it, 3 1/2 years had passed and my time at Party 93.1 was done as the station flipped formats to Rock music and my run at Voodoo Lounge where Cato and I had our broadcast was done. I felt like my heart was broken and taken away from me in a flash, but for Cato, it was just the beginning.

He ended up becoming one of America’s hottest mix show and club DJs, dominating Miami airwaves and shaping the sound of the Magic City dance music scene.

Club Sessions with Cato K., was heard weekly on Miami’s Party Station Power 96 and as well landed on the radio and satellite frequencies of Y100 and SiriusXM. His mix show became one of the most downloaded podcasts on iTunes consistently ranking in the Top 50 music podcasts with such artists as Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Avicii, Roger Sanchez, Matt Darey and Ferry Corsten.

Natalia had the chance to finally reconnect with him and the story she discovered was truly inspirational.

It was mid-morning when he entered the media suite as we were on the 2nd day of Groove Cruise Orlando 2022. He looked fresh, had a smile from ear to ear and you would’ve never guessed he was playing hours earlier, (like sunrise set times earlier), taking over the decks from Gene Farris, where many on Groove Cruise called their pairing “one of the most memorable morning experiences in frequency.”.

This Spanish housemaster was an omnipresent force in 2019. Ranked #1 house music artist of all-time and #5 all genres artist of the last 12 months by an unassailable points margin on industry recognised website Beatstats (to go alongside his already long standing #1 position on Traxsource), he topped and tailed a summer long assault on the top of the house charts once again, with two heavyweight releases on the iconic DEFECTED RECORDS label.

“The mysterious audio visual producer duo, hailing from Detroit. United on a mission to empower others to find their true identity. Blurring the lines between what is real & what is fake. Surrender yourself to the mysticism of DEEPFAKE as you witness technology become the magic.”

That is from the bio they sent to the Executive Producer and Host of the MasterMind of a DJ Podcast, Natalia. “There is so much more to who they are,” she says. “It’s beyond the realms of mystery and curiosity. I constantly share the mantra that, ‘music is what feelings sound like’ and DEEPFAKE genuinely represents that in all they do.”

This interview was conducted during Groove Cruise Orlando 2022 for GCTV.

Following your heart, trusting yourself then believing in yourself and taking a chance, all describe the elements that embody a woman who was once a school teacher and is now known as an International DJ and Producer.

As part of the GCTV Interview series, when the Executive Producer and Host of the MasterMind of a DJ Podcast, Natalia had the chance to interview SQXO for GCTV, she didn’t realize how much of an incredible and impressive story she would get.

In this interview, you can't always judge a book, by its cover...
