    M14: From a Hospital Bed to the DJ Decks | RDY VIP Podcast

    RDY VIP host Bebop sits down with Arizona DJ M14 at The Drop in Downtown Phoenix for a quick Q&A before his set at the Bass Shift event hosted by Nite Shift. Two weeks before he played System Overload, M14 was in a hospital bed recovering from brain surgery and a serious infection. He performed the festival anyway, with a PICC line still running to his heart, and his friends turned a photo of him in that hospital bed into a totem that read "from the hospital bed to the DJ decks." This is the story behind it. We get into where the name M14 comes from, how he built his tearout and riddim sound after moving to Arizona, why he loves it when techno DJs sneak in bass music, and the one trend he can't stand. He shares who he'd run a back-to-back with anywhere in the world, the wildest place he'd ever want to play, and a genuinely moving message about mental health, burnout, and staying true to yourself while grinding 12-hour Amazon shifts six days a week. Big love to his cousin Desert Hydra, to Vibrations and Nite Shift, and to everyone keeping the giving culture alive in the scene. Chapters below.
