The DJ Sessions

In this Virtual Sessions episode, Felix Sama joins host Darran Bruce from Miami to share his journey from radio personality to full-time producer and entrepreneur. Beginning with early experiments mixing on turntables and tape decks, Felix recalls the thrill of hearing DJs on Miami’s Super Q and creating his first hot mix that landed him a spot at Hot 105. His passion quickly grew into a full-time career in radio, production, and eventually television. He reflects on milestones like working at Telemundo’s Mundos channel, where he introduced reggaeton stars like Daddy Yankee and Nicky Jam to broader audiences, and creating video mixes before the format was widely recognized. These experiences not only built his reputation but also expanded Latin music’s global reach. Felix highlights how media visibility helped transition him from local recognition to international stages. The conversation explores his entrepreneurial ventures, including launching a DJ entertainment company, starting Rhythm City DJ School in South Florida, and leading USA Breaking, a nonprofit promoting breakdancing competitions nationwide. For Felix, creating platforms for DJs and dancers has been just as rewarding as performing. He also introduces his upcoming project, Rockstar Mindset, designed to help artists and professionals tap into their inner confidence through coaching, interviews, and think tanks. Felix emphasizes originality and persistence as keys for young DJs, urging them to produce their own music, find their niche, and bring something new to the table. Beyond music, Felix shares personal passions like racquetball, scuba diving, and family life, balancing ambition with health and discipline. His philosophy on success centers on creating value for others, producing music that inspires, and collaborating with like-minded artists to leave a lasting legacy.

In this Virtual Sessions episode, Tim and Tyler of The Midnight join host Darran Bruce to discuss their new album Syndicate, the evolution of their sound, and the balance of creativity and touring. The duo reveal how the project was inspired by the 1993 video game of the same name, pulling aesthetic cues from cyberpunk and neo-noir worlds while shaping it into a 17-track journey that meditates on loss, growth, and the future. They reflect on their bi-coastal workflow, with Tim in the Pacific Northwest and Tyler in Atlanta, often collaborating online and then meeting in studios for focused bursts of creativity. The conversation explores how The Midnight blend synth-driven production with classic American songwriting, which they describe as “rock and roll with synthesizers.” They emphasize that gear matters less than workflow, encouraging artists to find tools that keep them inspired. The discussion dives into their songwriting philosophy, with Tyler describing music as a deeply human behavior comparable to gardening or cave painting. Both note that persistence, curiosity, and joy in the process are more valuable than chasing trends. They share quirky stories, from roller skating in malls to hearing their music in unexpected places like construction sites. The Midnight also touch on live performance, touring challenges, and stage production dreams. From jokes about “Predator on Betamax” in their riders to aspirations of scoring films like Heat or Miami Vice, they balance humor with honesty about the pressures of delivering night after night. With Syndicate set for release and a European tour ahead, The Midnight continue to fuse nostalgia, storytelling, and forward-thinking creativity.

From its synth-heavy beginnings to arena rock chords and infectious pop hooks, The Midnight’s musical journey is one fueled by insatiable curiosity. The duo lives at the intersection of varying paths, driven by the frictional spark that fires when Southern-born singer-songwriter Tyler Lyle melts his all-American dreamer tales with Danish-bred drummer and producer Tim McEwan’s cinematic soundscapes. Together, they form something deeper than just house, vibier than pop, and altogether more exciting than the sum of its parts.  Through the years, the band’s sound and presentation continues to evolve, as influenced by the live performance and connection with the audience as by the internal need to grow. After nearly a decade of work, the duo will hit new heights on stage, growing from 500-capacity clubs in 2019 to selling out London’s 5,300-person Eventim Apollo and similar venues in 2023, plus major festivals like Outside Lands in San Francisco, CA, Bonnaroo in Manchester, TN, Austin City Limits in Austin, TX and Music Midtown in Atlanta, GA. To fill all that space, The Midnight expands its lineup with three live musicians; Lelia Broussard on bass, Royce Whittaker on guitar, and Justin Klunk on saxophone and synth. The band’s vivid sound is well-suited to full rock instrumentation, and the five-piece is more than ready to unleash the exalted tracks of the new album for crowds of fans around the world, performing them with all the participatory spirit for which they was written—because in the end, the real Heroes are and always have been you.  Their upcoming record on Ultra Records, “Syndicate” is out October 3, 2025.

Summary In this Virtual Sessions episode, Martin Eyerer joins host Darran Bruce from Berlin’s Riverside Studios to reflect on his journey as a producer, entrepreneur, and innovator. The conversation begins with his love for Berlin’s vibrant food scene and cultural energy, setting the stage for a deeper look into the city’s unique creative ecosystem. Martin shares the origins of Riverside Studios, which grew from a simple plan for three private studios into a thriving community of over 70 residents spanning music, film, scoring, and technology. He explains how Riverside became a hub not just for music production but also for collaboration, masterclasses, and partnerships with institutions like NYU’s Clive Davis Institute. The latest addition, The Lab Berlin, expands into creative technology, connecting music with film, gaming, AI, and Web3 startups. Martin emphasizes that this growth wasn’t planned through traditional business models, but through curating a community of like-minded creators driven by passion rather than profit. The discussion explores how technology continues to reshape the industry. From affordable monitors and room calibration tools to the disruptive rise of AI, Martin argues that adaptability is key. He stresses that producers no longer succeed solely through music quality but must also master branding, marketing, and building audiences. Drawing from past lessons with platforms like MySpace and Facebook, he highlights the importance of spotting trends early and embracing change rather than resisting it. Finally, Martin shares how fitness, nutrition, and structured routines keep him balanced while running multiple businesses. He underlines that true success comes from curiosity, openness to new ideas, and maintaining mental and physical health. His reflections on Riverside and The Lab show how creative spaces can evolve into global leaders by prioritizing community, innovation, and authenticity.

In this lively Virtual Session, The DJ Sessions host Darran Bruce reconnects with New York City’s Herbert Holler, one of the most versatile and respected DJs on the East Coast. Known for his long-running Freedom Party and countless weddings, mitzvahs, and private events, Herbert reflects on his career, his philosophy, and some unforgettable experiences. The conversation opens with humor and honesty as Herbert talks about fitness, mental health, and how exercise and mindset shape not only the body but also creativity and resilience. He and Darran explore the role of positivity online, social media’s darker side, and how technology has changed the way audiences experience music. Herbert emphasizes his goal behind the decks: to make people dance without their phones in hand, creating true connection. He shares one of his biggest recent highlights - DJing for NBC’s Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon segment at a Fordham University graduation, where Fallon brought out The Weeknd for a surprise performance. Balancing nerves and preparation, Herbert describes the moment as surreal and unforgettable. The discussion also dives into the importance of trademarks for DJs and brands, why registering your name protects your work, and the everyday grind of balancing weddings, clubs, and family life. For Herbert, success isn’t measured by money or status but by contentment - finding peace in your craft, building community, and staying true to yourself. From the magic of Circle Line cruises in Manhattan to late-night house sessions at PMT Dance Studio, Herbert continues to bring people together through music, proving that authenticity and persistence are what keep a DJ’s career thriving.

Thaylo: Crafting a Path from Party DJ to Rising Producer on the Virtual Sessions presented by The DJ Sessions 8/26/25 In this inspiring Virtual Session, Darran Bruce connects with Lyon-based DJ and producer Thaylo to explore his evolution from casual party DJ to rising electronic artist with a distinctive voice. Starting with simple birthday gigs spinning Avicii and David Guetta, Thaylo quickly discovered that playing other people’s tracks wasn’t enough. Downloading Fruity Loops and teaching himself through YouTube tutorials, he developed his craft from scratch without formal training—embracing the long journey of trial, error, and discovery. The conversation dives into his creative process, which varies from piano sessions and spontaneous vocal ideas to sample-based experimentation. Thaylo explains how inspiration can strike from anywhere—even a movie quote from Lucy inspired one track—and why he prefers to let each song find its own path rather than relying on templates. He also discusses balancing authenticity with the realities of building a career, including working side jobs, securing label support, and learning to manage touring schedules. A major milestone is his forthcoming EP Drawn In Your Eyes, which marks his transition into incorporating his own vocals on four tracks. He reflects on the challenges of live performance, his biggest gigs supporting acts like Revo and Korolova, and the importance of staying true to himself both on and off stage. From frustrations with phone-dominated crowds to dreams of hosting his own event with fireworks and unique stage concepts, Thaylo offers both honesty and optimism. This episode highlights a young artist determined to carve his place in the global scene through hard work, creativity, and passion.

From her Broadway experience in Hamilton to her rising solo career, Meecah shares how music has always been an innate passion and a form of self-expression that flows naturally alongside her stage work. Her latest release, “Answers,” reflects both personal obstacles and triumphs, offering two versions that embody the emotional and celebratory sides of her journey. She opens up about working with acclaimed choreographer Jamal Douglas to bring visual storytelling to her music, while also exploring the balance between wellness, fitness, and creativity. With roots in a deeply musical family and inspired by legends like Whitney Houston, Meecah highlights her desire to break industry molds by moving fluidly between genres, from R&B to rock, country, Afrobeats, and beyond. Throughout the session, she discusses the challenges of building an authentic audience in a social media-driven era, her commitment to organic growth, and the role her fans play in keeping her motivated. Reflecting on sold-out performances, viral social moments, and her evolving artistry, Meecah emphasizes her mission to inspire and connect with people worldwide.

Discover more exclusive interviews and live sessions at thedjsessions.com.   About Meecah - Meecah is a quintessential New York City powerhouse: a vocalist, songwriter, and performer whose dynamic stage presence and soul-stirring voice leave an indelible mark on every audience.  While she’s captivated countless fans in leading roles for acclaimed musical theater productions like the Tony Award-winning Hamilton, The Harder They Come, and The Wiz Revival Workshop (earning her an Audelco Award nomination in 2023), her artistry extends far beyond the stage.  Meecah has graced iconic venues including Radio City Music Hall, Barclays Center, and 54 Below, solidifying her reputation as a must-see live performer. A testament to her burgeoning impact, she achieved a significant career milestone in November 2024 by selling out her debut headline show at Joe’s Pub at The Public Theater. With over 140,000 streams and a loyal online community exceeding 15,000 followers, Meecah is a rapidly rising star in the music industry. A proud South Florida native, Meecah's sound is an unmistakable blend of soulful R&B infused with vibrant '80s pop influences, drawing comparisons to legends like Whitney Houston, Beyoncé, and Bruno Mars.  This unique sonic tapestry will be fully unveiled in 2025 with the release of her highly anticipated debut EP, For Your Love. This six-track project promises a modern take on timeless music, featuring powerful ballads, infectious pop hooks, and lush R&B melodies, inviting listeners to join her ever-growing “Mango” fanbase. Beyond her remarkable musical talents, Meecah is a deeply authentic individual with a profound commitment to holistic wellness and ethical living. An ethical vegan who painstakingly seeks transparency in the lineage and humane treatment of animals, she thrives on re-creating her cultural meals with vegan, gluten-free, and soy-free ingredients.  Her passion extends to educating and influencing communities that may be unfamiliar with conscious living, advocating for a deeper understanding of nutrition and environmental impact.  A lover of the ocean and an avid surfer, she embodies the spirit of a Floridian, even after more than a decade in NYC. Meecah is fiercely determined, approaching goals with an unwavering resolve and a refusal to take "no" for an answer, always navigating an ethical path. Coming from a long line of entrepreneurs, she has consciously cultivated humility, balancing her innate drive with a deep appreciation for collaborative spirit.  For Meecah, family is paramount, and being truly seen for who you are is the ultimate form of connection. While she appreciates the clarity that labels and definitions can bring, as an artist, she finds them—much like restrictive clothing—to be suffocating, embracing the boundless nature of her creativity.  Her once-in-a-generation work ethic is fueled by her unique life experiences, including being raised by a community and surviving abuse, which has instilled in her a profound capacity for love and an inherent desire to understand the "why" behind human behavior. She values safety and protection above all and confidently asserts that she is unlimited in what she can achieve.  Meecah is more than an artist; she is a powerful voice for wellness, authenticity, and profound human connection.   About The DJ Sessions - “The DJ Sessions” is a Twitch/Mixcloud "Featured Partner” live streaming/podcast series featuring electronic music DJ’s/Producers via live mixes/interviews and streamed/distributed to a global audience.

The DJ Sessions host Darran Bruce connects with legendary producer and label owner Massimo Vivona, joined by Seborn (Sebastian), in an insightful Virtual Sessions episode that bridges history, innovation, and the future of electronic music. From Sedona to Phoenix, the conversation explores how Massimo continues to champion creativity through his work on Headzone Records while developing collaborative projects that blend ambient, electronic, and jazz-inspired elements. Massimo reflects on decades of experience in the music industry, from the golden days of vinyl to today’s rapidly evolving digital ecosystem. He discusses challenges like the high cost of vinyl distribution, the influence of major labels, and the importance of maintaining artistic integrity in an era where commercial pressures often overshadow creativity. Drawing from his extensive catalog of over 65 releases, six albums, and numerous global compilations, Massimo emphasizes the enduring value of analog processes and live mixing to create tracks that remain timeless. Seborn brings a fresh perspective as an emerging talent, working closely with Massimo on experimental projects that merge guitar, trumpet, and electronic textures. Their collaboration highlights the importance of mentoring the next generation while pushing boundaries beyond traditional genres. Together, they discuss the realities of modern festivals, the financial pressures on artists, and the “gatekeeping” that can limit exposure for talented newcomers. Despite these challenges, Massimo remains passionate about building platforms that honor quality, experimentation, and longevity. This captivating discussion offers fans and industry insiders alike a rare look into the philosophies of a true pioneer, while spotlighting Seborn as a rising name to watch.

He was young and impressionable during the explosion of electronic influence in music and was absolutely captivated by the 'other worldly' sounds that were able to be achieved through experimentation of electronic instrumentation. Groups such as Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Rockets and Mike Oldfield were all a huge inspiration for Massimo to go deeper into his passion for music production. Also influenced by funk, Massimo cites tremendous inspiration was sparked by artists such as Johnny Guitar Watson and James Brown. Massimo began Dj'ing at age 11 at events in Sicily and these events kept growing larger. Upon coming of age, Massimo moved to Germany to pursue music production further. When his first production "De Largo' was complete, he gave it to Pete Namlook of FAX RECORDS label in Frankfurt. Torsten Fenslau, the manager of club DORIAN GRAY in Frankfurt got a hold of the single and it was soon after placed at #1 on the club charts in Germany. This began Massimo's international DJ career.   Massimo has over 65 releases, including 6 albums and has been featured on over 85 successful electronic dance compilations worldwide. His repertoire includes works published by Sony Music, BMG Ariola and has collaborated with Warner Chappell Music and Universal Music for licensing.   Massimo Vivona founded Headzone Records in 1995 along with Andy Howard founder of Intergroove Distribution UK. Their focus was the worldwide distribution of vinyl and CD's of some of the most cutting edge electronic music artists. Massimo continues to have a deep appreciation for vinyl and to this day prefers playing his sets on vinyl. "Digital sounds sort of synthetic compared to vinyl, it does not have the sound quality that vinyl does; Vinyl has a much more warm sound and is the grandfather of digital music and should be respected." "Vinyl gives life to the music."   Headzone Records is currently operating out of the U.S with the same mission of the distribution of exceptional electronic music on vinyl worldwide.   "Special thanks to Pete Namlook for believing in my music RiP, and my brother Andy Howard and All Family of Intergroove for also believing in my creativity."   Massimo Vivona.

In this dynamic Virtual Session of The DJ Sessions, host Darran Bruce sits down with iconic rapper, entrepreneur, and cannabis advocate Redman at Cantana Fest 2025. Known worldwide for his groundbreaking contributions to hip hop, Redman dives into an equally impactful mission—fighting for cannabis reform through the United Empowerment Party (UEP), the first federally approved cannabis political party. Redman discusses the importance of unity within the cannabis industry, emphasizing that collaboration and shared goals are the key to real progress. He outlines UEP’s mission to de-schedule cannabis, arguing that simply moving it to Schedule III is insufficient. By fully removing it from federal scheduling, opportunities would open for research, transportation, fair business practices, and most importantly, freeing incarcerated individuals still serving time for cannabis-related charges. The conversation touches on the role of misinformation and outdated perceptions, with Redman highlighting cannabis as a medicine with over 400 beneficial components—many yet to be discovered. He shares his belief that education is crucial for lawmakers and the public alike, while stressing the need to keep large corporations from monopolizing the industry once federal approval arrives. Beyond advocacy, Redman reflects on community, culture, and the power of numbers in creating systemic change. He encourages grassroots participation, inviting supporters to join UEP’s movement and get involved in shaping policies that work for the people, not just profit. The episode also highlights Redman’s creative pursuits, including his new album Muddy Waters Too and ventures in merchandise and fashion, reinforcing his influence as both a cultural icon and social leader.   About Redman - Gruff and animated with bare-knuckled punchlines no matter how blunted, Redman is one of the most distinctive voices in hip-hop, representing Newark and flying the funk flag throughout an enduring career that boasts seven gold and platinum albums. Reggie Noble was featured on a pair of EPMD tracks before broke through on his own in 1992 with Whut? Thee Album, a highly anticipated solo debut containing "Blow Your Mind" and "Time 4 Sum Aksion," boisterous singles that topped Billboard's rap chart. The unsettling Dare Iz a Darkside, relatively lucid Muddy Waters, and platinum triumph Doc's da Name 2000 all reinforced the rapper/producer's high standing, as did El Niño and Blackout! -- recorded respectively with Def Squad and Method Man -- throughout the '90s. Redman was even more visible during the early 2000s, hitting the upper reaches of the Billboard 200 again with Malpractice, taking his partnership with Method Man to the big screen with How High, and earning Grammy nominations as a featured artist on De La Soul's "Oooh." and Christina Aguilera's "Dirrty." Red launched his Gilla House label in 2007 with Red Gone Wild: Thee Album, and has followed it with three more LPs, including the alternately stern and celebratory Muddy Waters Too (2024). Redman, born Reginald Noble in Newark, started spinning records at parties and fashion shows at the age of 12, and a few years later began rhyming. He befriended , who became a mentor and took him along to parks and clubs, enabling him to develop and sharpen his skills as an imposing battle rapper. Later urged by  to share the mike onstage at an EPMD concert in Newark, Noble -- who was then DJ'ing for  -- gave in and essentially became Redman that night, shocking a crowd of familiar faces. Months later, a day after his father kicked him out for selling weed, Redman moved into 's Long Island apartment. He became fully embedded with EPMD and therefore the larger  collective, touring with the group whose pioneering funky and relaxed sound had inspired him to fully pursue hip-hop.  and Bobbito had showcased a live recording of Redman on their WKCR radio show, but it was EPMD's third album, 1990's Business as Usual, where Redman made his commercial debut, featured on the tracks "Hardcore" and "Brothers on My Jock." A five-track solo demo resulted in a solo deal with Def Jam. Redman was at the forefront of a crop of young, brash, and hungry signees that included  and , bolstering a roster of mostly established acts such as , , EPMD, and . In September 1992, Whut? Thee Album made instant impact as one of the era's most powerful rap debuts -- a mischievous, hard-hitting, set produced primarily by Redman and . First two singles "Blow Your Mind" and "Time 4 Some Aksion" both topped Billboard's rap chart (the latter unseated 's "Throw Ya Gunz") and pushed the album, marketed heavily to the streets and college campuses, to gold status within nine months. Meanwhile, Redman was highly sought for guest verses, production, and turntable work, assisting EPMD ("Head Banger"), , , and , as well as fellow Def Squad members  and , among others. Red returned in November 1994 with the descriptively-titled Dare Iz a Darkside, what began a streak of four number one rap albums -- all of which also placed no lower than 13 on the Billboard 200. Assisted by  and , Redman handled most of the sludgy production on his own, and a couple major singles in "Rockafella" and "Can't Wait," respective number ten and 11 hits on the rap chart, boosted album sales. Between those two singles, Red also hit number 12 with "Funkorama," taken from 's Insomnia compilation. Redman crowned the rap album chart four more times in the '90s. Muddy Waters, issued in December 1996, was leaner and sharper edged compared to Dare Iz a Darkside. It spawned "It's Like That (My Big Brother)," a number 11 rap hit featuring  partner , and "Whatever Man," an -assisted track that peaked at number three on the rap chart and narrowly missed the pop Top 40. The more colorful and buoyant Doc's da Name 2000, highlighted by "I'll Bee Dat!" and the  collaboration "Da Goodness," landed in November 1998 and within four months went platinum. The latter became Redman's fourth Top Ten rap hit as a headliner. Earlier the same year, Def Squad issued their lone album, El Niño, and almost topped the Billboard 200 with it. Red led the charge on album standout "Check N' Me Out" and traded verses with  on "Rhymin' wit' Biz." Three months before the end of the decade, Redman and Method Man unloaded their first LP as a duo, the number three Billboard 200 entry Blackout!, full-length proof of the rappers' natural chemistry. In addition to "How High," a number two rap single originally recorded for the soundtrack of The Show, Blackout! contained the number 14 rap single "Da Rockwilder." Both songs also factored into How High, the 2001 stoner comedy in which Method Man and Redman co-starred. In addition to his first major big-screen role as an actor, Redman further raised his profile in the early 2000s with featured appearances on two Grammy-nominated recordings: De La Soul's "Oooh." (for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group) and Christina Aguilera's "Dirty" (for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals). Between the two singles in May 2001, Redman released his fifth album, Malpractice, which entered the Billboard 200 at number four -- his highest position on the chart. The album's "Let's Get Dirty (I Can't Get in da Club)," with  as hype man, returned him to the rap Top Ten, and other tracks boasted guest spots from the likes of , , and Treach. Six years passed before his next album, but Redman was busy during the interim with a handful of mixtapes on his new Gilla House label, roles in films like Scary Movie 3 and Seed of Chucky, player character roles in several Def Jam-related video games, plus the sitcom Method & Red, among many other television appearances. In March 2007, Redman finally issued Red Gone Wild: Thee Album. Despite arriving at least three years after its originally scheduled date, Red Gone Wild went straight to number 13 on the Billboard 200 (number four on the R&B/hip-hop chart).  produced the rowdy highlight "Put It Down," and other notable productions were supplied by , , and longtime associates  and . Blackout! 2 appeared near the end of the decade and found Redman and Method Man picking up where they had left off with their first album as a duo. The sequel entered the Billboard 200 at number seven and the R&B/hip-chart in the second position. December 2010 saw the release of Redman's last Def Jam album. Titled Redman Presents...Reggie, the LP capped an uncommonly long rapper-label affiliation of nearly two decades. It immediately stuck out in the Redman catalog with its outgoing, guest-heavy approach and use of Auto-Tune. Moreover, it played out like a mixtape with a different producer or production team on each track. Redman enlisted a similarly diverse cast of associates for Mudface, his independent, -distributed eighth album, issued in November 2015. Also like Reggie, it cracked the Top Ten of the rap chart. Film and television roles continued, most notably as the host of Scared Famous, followed by an appearance in Jay and Silent Bob Reboot and a recurring role on Power Book II: Ghost. Muddy Waters Too, the sequel to his 1996 album, and his first full-length in nine years, was issued on Christmas Eve 2024. The party atmosphere was exemplified by "Lite It Up," a nostalgic posse cut on which Redman was joined by , , , , and many more. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi About The DJ Sessions - “The DJ Sessions” is a Twitch/Mixcloud "Featured Partner” live streaming/podcast series featuring electronic music DJ’s/Producers via live mixes/interviews and streamed/distributed to a global audience.

My name is Cruz Corona, my stage alias is Significant Otter. I was born in Chicago, Illinois but was basically raised here in Washington. At an early age I was interested in music by learning how to play this electronic keyboard my grandparents gifted me for Christmas. I joined my school’s orchestra in the 5th grade and ever since then, music has been a part of life. I played Viola all the way through senior year, and started going to shows at 17. My first rave was Paradiso, and I’ve been to many more festivals since then. I enjoy bass music a lot but also love playing house and other genres as well. Seattle is my home town and I really love the area.
