    CHASKE on Sobriety, Identity, and Growing Up in NYC’s Underground

    CHASKE joins Tiny Table Radio for a conversation about growing up in New York’s underground rave scene, choosing sobriety while working in nightlife, and building a house music career shaped by identity and intention. In this episode, the Brooklyn-based Native American and Jewish DJ and producer reflects on discovering electronic music at 14 years old at an illegal park rave in NYC — a chaotic first experience that set him on a 15-year journey through global travel, long-form DJ sets, and eventually house music. We talk about playing a 12-hour set for 50,000 people at Thailand’s Full Moon Party, opening for Damian Lazarus early in his house career, and what it means to step into bigger rooms before you feel fully ready. But this conversation goes deeper than milestones. CHASKE shares what led him to get sober inside the rave culture, how partying from a young age shaped his relationship with music, and how discipline ultimately brought more clarity to his production, performance, and community building. We also explore how his Native American and Jewish heritage influences his creative process — from powwow drum rhythms to sampling traditional melodies — and why house music remains, at its core, about connection. This episode is about growth inside the underground — not outside of it. 🎵 About CHASKECHASKE is a Brooklyn-based DJ and producer whose sound blends house music with funk-driven basslines, percussion-forward grooves, and psychedelic textures. With over 15 years in electronic music, he continues to evolve his craft while running SHINE, his NYC-based event series focused on consistent energy and community on the dancefloor. 🎙 About Tiny Table RadioTiny Table Radio shares the stories and sounds from the creative underground — house music, culture, and community, live from Brooklyn, NYC.

    Designing the Night Before It Starts with CRVM

    CRVM joins Tiny Table Radio for a conversation about intention in DJing, designing the night before it starts, and why house music is bigger than any one person. In this episode, Brooklyn-based DJ and designer CRVM reflects on shaping parties through context — not just sound. From early rooftop parties to playing Elsewhere, he shares how visuals, flyers, and environment quietly set expectations long before the first track is played. We talk about DJing as a form of service, letting the music speak, and understanding energy in the room. CRVM also breaks down his creative process beyond the booth — designing flyers when venues don’t provide them, pulling inspiration from old rave culture, and using color and visual language to communicate emotion and genre. The conversation also touches on building POWERHAUS, navigating Brooklyn’s evolving nightlife landscape, showing up digitally without losing integrity, and creating space for deeper community through Syncopated Souls. We talk about:• Designing flyers as part of DJing• Setting expectations before the doors open• Reading energy instead of rigid planning• Visual language, color, and old rave references• Letting the music speak without disappearing 🎵 About CRVM CRVM is a Brooklyn-based DJ and designer whose sound blends deep house, Afro house, and emotionally driven rhythms rooted in community and intention. With a background in graphic design, CRVM approaches DJing holistically — treating visuals, flyers, and context as an extension of the music itself. He is a co-founder of POWERHAUS, a collective focused on thoughtful programming and underground dance culture, and a driving force behind Syncopated Souls, a party series centered on deep and Afro house sounds. 🎙️ About Tiny Table RadioTiny Table Radio shares the stories and sounds from the creative underground — house music, culture, and community, live from Brooklyn, NYC.

    How do DJ careers actually get built — beyond DMs, reposts, and shortcuts? In this episode of Tiny Table Radio, NYC-based DJ, producer, and event curator MAFIA B joins host Cory Bradburn for a wide-ranging conversation about discipline, presence, and the real-world decisions that shaped his path through the underground.

He shares the story of flying cross-country with no plan or guarantee to attend a label conference in Los Angeles, a decision that led to direct conversations with the team at mau5trap and helped open the door to releasing music at a higher level. We talk about: Why in-person connection still outweighs online outreach The difference between talent and professionalism in getting booked Teaching producers and how mentorship shaped his growth The moment a stranger requested his own track in a club Building Decoded, his NYC-based event brand How DJs actually get booked in New York — and what most people misunderstand This conversation is for DJs, producers, and creatives looking for a clearer picture of how careers are built over time — through consistency, initiative, and being present where the culture actually happens.
