    Whipped Cream | The XLNT Show #32

    Welcome to a new episode of The XLNT Show, where Danny and Parker sit down with producer, vocalist, and performer Whipped Cream for one of the most honest and inspiring conversations we’ve had on the channel. Caroline walks us through her full journey: from growing up as a competitive figure skater, to a brutal ankle injury that changed everything, to discovering electronic music at a small festival stage and deciding to bet her entire future on making music. With no mentors, no local scene, and no roadmap, she moved back into her parents’ basement, taught herself Ableton from YouTube, and slowly built the Whipped Cream project from the ground up. They discuss: How a serious figure skating injury pushed her toward a completely new lifeThe tiny side-stage set at Sasquatch Festival that flipped a switch and made her decide, “I need to make music”Learning production in isolation on Vancouver Island, with no female producers around and no real industry connectionsGetting obsessed with Baaur, trap, and Jersey Club, and how chopping samples shaped her early soundEvolving from mid-tempo into techno, cinematic dance, and vocal-driven records while keeping everything authenticDiscovering her singing voice in the studio, using lyrics from her notes app, and treating vocals like another instrumentThe reality of being a woman in EDM: assumptions about ghost production, image policing, and double standardsHer philosophy on collaboration, credits, ghost producing, and why she doesn’t demonize help behind the scenesDesigning full show concepts like “Someone You Can Count On,” building characters, stage design, and world-buildingTrying to balance big long-term vision with the practical need to “focus on what’s working” right nowThe episode opens up into a larger conversation about identity, resilience, and longevity in dance music: why she refuses to be boxed in, how she handles criticism and rumors, and why her real goal is to impact people emotionally—on stage and in their headphones. ⭐️ SUPPORT THE POD ⭐️ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/thexlntshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐️ #1 Sample & Preset Packs [Use code “THEXLNTSHOW” for 10% off your next purchase] ⭐️ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠bit.ly/XLNTSOUNDPACKS 🤮 WOOKTRONIC VOL 1 OUT NOW 🤮https://bit.ly/XLNTWOOKTRONICV1

    Knock2 vs ISOxo The BAD BOYS of EDM | The XLNT Show #8

    Welcome to a new edition of The XLNT Show: Bad Boys, where it is just Danny and Parker talking uncensored. No filters, no script, and no holding back. In this episode, the guys break down one of the most interesting dynamics in EDM right now: the parallel rise of ISOxo and Knock2, and their first-ever festival, Nighthearts. Danny and Parker talk about how unexpected it was to see artists known for bass house and trap music program themselves as openers at their own festival, and how that decision alone says a lot about their understanding of audience momentum. They discuss: How artists like ISOxo and Knock2 ended up sharing the stage with heavyweight co-headliners  Skrillex and ZeddWhy Knock2’s track “dashstar*” feels like one of the last modern EDM classics with a true solo anthem identityThe difference in how ISOxo and Knock2 are being positioned based on genre, sound, and fan reachThe shift from progressive house domination to bass house and hybrid trap taking center stageThe challenges new genres face in producing universally memorable EDM “classics”What makes a live festival debut stand out versus a traditional tour set Danny also gets Parker to zoom out into the bigger picture: why duos and tight creative units matter so much in EDM today, and whether moving as a unified brand could end up being more powerful than going it alone. ⭐️ SUPPORT THE POD ⭐️ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/thexlntshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐️ #1 Sample & Preset Packs [Use code “THEXLNTSHOW” for 10% off your next purchase] ⭐️ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠bit.ly/XLNTSOUNDPACKS 🤮 WOOKTRONIC VOL 1 OUT NOW 🤮 ➡️ ⁠ https://bit.ly/XLNTWOOKTRONICV1

    Did Fred Again cross the line? The BAD BOYS of EDM | The XLNT Show #7

    Welcome to a new edition of The XLNT Show: Bad Boys, where it is just Danny and Parker talking uncensored. No filters, no script, and no holding back. In this episode, the guys dive into one of the most overlooked conversations in the EDM scene right now: major artists taking ideas and drops from smaller producers without giving proper credit. Using the recent situation between Fred again and Liny as the centerpiece, Danny and Parker break down how a viral edit blurred the lines between inspiration and attribution, and why it struck such a nerve in the producer community. They discuss: The timeline behind the Victory Lap edit and LYNY's original trackWhy credit matters for smaller artists trying to break throughWhether big artists have a responsibility to elevate new talentThe culture shift around IDs, edits, and promo on TikTokThe role of community building in EDMWhen borrowing becomes poachingWhether Fred again actually helped LYNY or overshadowed himThe conversation expands into a wider look at the industry: the lack of mentorship, the expectations placed on top artists, and whether the community holds different people to different standards based on their public persona.

    NGHTMRE | The XLNT Show #29

    In this episode of The XLNT Show, we sit down with NGHTMRE - the bass heavyweight, genre-fluid producer, and live show assassin who keeps pushing dance music forward. We dive into his evolution from early big-room/electro experiments as “T-Mare” to the trap wave that defined a generation, the Icon Collective grind, and the SLANDER brotherhood that helped shape his sound. Tyler breaks down the moment Skrillex dropped “Street” on Ultra’s mainstage, the happy-accident pan sample + Grain Delay trick, and how years of DJ reps (Vegas residencies, B2Bs, and festival chaos) refined his instincts onstage and in the studio. He also opens up about building real hip-hop crossovers (ASAP Ferg “Redlight” & VIPs), the new album Mindfull (out August 29), and the October–December tour that’s about to melt faces. ⭐️ SUPPORT THE POD ⭐️ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/thexlntshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐️ #1 Sample & Preset Packs [Use code “THEXLNTSHOW” for 10% off your next purchase] ⭐️ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠bit.ly/XLNTSOUNDPACKS ⭐️ QUEST FOR BASS VOL 2 EARLY ACCESS ⭐️ ➡️ ⁠https://questforbass.com Inside the episode: • The Icon era, meeting Derek (SLANDER), and how the trap sound took over • From “T-Mare” big-room roots to the NGHTMRE blueprint — melody, sound design, and range • Ultra mainstage lore - Skrillex dropping “Street,” Reddit going nuclear, and the immediate label bidding war • The freesound pan sample + Grain Delay sparkle - why “happy accidents” beat perfectionism • Hip-hop collabs done right - the Ferg “Redlight” play, VIPs, and making records that aren’t “EDM-cheese” • Vegas residency realities, open-format finesse, and tempo-switch tricks that keep the floor moving • B2B chemistry with SLANDER, EDC fireworks moments, and planning vs. pure freestyle • Mindfull (out Aug 29) - themes, visuals, and tour prep, plus fresh collabs with Viperactive & JT Roach, BLANK, Wink, Sully & more If you’re a bass music fan, producer, or just someone who’s followed NGHTMRE’s run from Icon to global stages — this one’s for you.

    Adventure Club | The XLNT Show #28

    In this episode of The XLNT Show, we sit down with Adventure Club — the legendary Canadian duo who helped shape the rise of EDM and brought dubstep into the mainstream with their genre-defining remixes and originals. We go all the way back with them — from their early days in pop punk and screamo bands, to stumbling into dubstep production before tutorials even existed, to bootlegging Brand New and accidentally kickstarting a career that would take them around the world. Adventure Club open up about navigating the early blog era, the insane grind of touring, and why being in a duo is more like a marriage than a partnership. They also share hilarious tour stories (including table jousting, slap wars, and a McDonald’s-level fight), talk about how Cakewalk DAW accidentally shaped their sound, and reveal how they’re bringing back their classic era with a full-on throwback tour. ⭐️ SUPPORT THE POD ⭐️➡️ ⁠https://bit.ly/thexlntshow⁠ ⭐️ #1 Sample & Preset Packs [Use code "THEXLNTSHOW" for 10% off] ⭐️➡️ bit.ly/XLNTSOUNDPACKS ⭐️ BROSTEP VOL.1 OUT NOW! ⭐️➡️ ⁠https://bit.ly/XLNTBROSTEP⁠ Inside the episode: How Adventure Club transitioned from emo bands to bass music pioneersThe trial-and-error grind of learning sound design without tutorials or sample packsEarly days of dubstep alongside Skrillex, Flux Pavilion, 12th Planet & moreThe viral Daisy remix + Crave You — and how Hype Machine changed everythingWhat it’s really like touring for over a decade (and how to survive it)Their unique dynamic as a duo and why they rarely fightWild tour stories you definitely haven’t heard beforeWhy the blog era mattered — and how labels and algorithms reshaped EDMThe upcoming Adventure Club Throwback Tour and what fans can expectIf you grew up on the rise of EDM, loved that golden era of melodic dubstep, or just want to hear two legends get real about their journey — this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
