About this listen

The RPG Collective sits down to have a conversation about electronic music. This podcast was created to explore the many communities - and communities within communities - that make up the dance music and electronic music scene in cities worldwide. While our influences are primarily drawn from house music, techno, breaks, and UK Garage, we will dig into multiple genres throughout this episode and others. Thanks for listening in. -RPG

    This week, Ryan and I talked with Sean Blvd and Cas, two of our favorites here in the DC area. We discussed everything from preparing for festival set to balancing work-life-music, from crate organization to finding happiness in your musical journey. We recorded this at Music Box Karaoke in Falls Church, VA, and we were joined by special guest Elusive Water in the studio.

    This week, we sat down with Shep, founder of Coffee Club Social, out of Baltimore.

    We talked about the unique experiences he and his team provide, how coffee cocktails can (and should) be more than just espresso martinis, the up-and-coming DJs he's bringing to his events, and his own journey as a new DJ.

    This episode was recored at the Eaton Hotel, ahead of the Cafe Disco Recs (of which Shep is a co-founder along with Reid Jaxson). That show can be found on mixcloud, linked below.
