At Seismic Dance Event, I was able to sit down with Sam Wolfe, an artist and producer from Atlanta, for a candid discussion about his steady rise up the techno charts and how his music has been influenced by hard work, good karma, and being at the right place, right time.  Sam’s personality lends to big beats with big releases that are infectious when he’s playing and can be easily seen and felt on the dance floor.


We talk about his manifestation mindset and being grateful to play all over the world, his growth from show to show, and one of the most entertaining rapid fire question rounds I’ve ever done.

On today’s show, I have Anthony Cardinale aka Avision, a techno and house producer & DJ from New York, who grew up in the club culture with an early start on the turntables at the age of 12. Avision has been one of my favorite artists for years and he’s known for his big beats and high energy tracks. He’s had releases with some of the biggest names in the industry: Carl Cox, Maceo Plex, Victor Calderone and Coyu to name a few.


We talk about his supportive family and producing music from his home studio, playing to 3,000 kids on teen nights at the age of 15 while hustling on the streets of NYC with his crew to promote his shows. Avision’s humble nature, unmatched work ethic, and commitment to his NYC roots has made him one of the most respected artists in the industry.

On today’s show, I have music duo, Hello Yes, consisting of guitarist Mitch Bell and saxophonist Aaron Leibowitz, birthed during off time on the road with electronic artist Zhu, who they continue to perform and collaborate with. With a new EP out titled, “Lost Signal”, they are constantly evolving and fine tuning their sound, taking influences from tour life and playing all over the world on festival and concert stages alike. 


We talked about my awkward first meeting back on Zhu’s tour bus with Mitch and Ronny in 2018, uncommon fan gifts received on tour, the evolution of their “Hello Yes” sound and when they know a song is finished. They also discuss their first performance at “Lightning in a Bottle” this year with Ronny recapping his first festival experience there 10 years ago, and headlining the main stage with Zhu the previous year. Get to know “Hello Yes” and make sure to follow them for tour announcements and new song releases!

On today’s “Concert Queen Connect”, we have Dave Navarro , best known as a member of rock band, “Jane’s Addiction” and mental health activist, speaking about his “Duel Diagnosis” immersive art exhibition on display at West Chelsea Contemporary till April 17th.

Thank you to Dave Navarro and his co-creator, PADHiA @unfukyourself for creating a mental health movement through their art and make sure to read the placards accompanying the art!⁣ Make sure to give them all a follow and support their “Duel Diagnosis” movement.
