KSHMR returns to The XLNT Show for a deep conversation about creativity, burnout, reinvention, and what it takes to keep making meaningful music after years in the industry. He breaks down the three-year process behind Sounds of KSHMR Vol. 5 , from recording live musicians and building custom sample-organizing software to managing thousands of sounds without sacrificing quality. KSHMR also opens up about losing his connection with music, feeling like an imitation of his former self, and how exploring new interests—including stand-up comedy and coding his own creative tools—helped bring that inspiration back to life. They discuss: The making of Sounds of KSHMR Vol. 5 Building custom tools with Claude for Ableton, Dropbox, and sample organization Burnout, identity, and losing confidence in your creative instincts Why chasing virality can disconnect artists from the magic of music His journey from Bay Area rap and The Cataracs to global EDM success The unexpected creation of “Like a G6” and why simple ideas can become timeless Learning to provide value before asking successful artists for opportunities Why honesty, accountability, and following through matter in music and life His upcoming ethnic deep-house project and live orchestral show This episode is an honest look at what happens after success—when the habits that built your career stop feeling fulfilling, and you have to rediscover what made you love creating in the first place.

OddKidOut pulls up to talk creativity, career pivots, and how he built a lane by refusing to stay in one lane.

In this episode: The Skrillex story: how one session turned into moving to LA and building a career The biggest lesson from watching Skrillex work: simplicity, callbacks, and using what’s already in the track Why OddKidOut avoids reference tracks, templates, and overthinking—“fishing” for ideas instead Maschine as an instrument (not a DAW): why it’s strictly performance-first for him How he navigated releasing across major labels—and the real “perks” that matter (touring, games, community, opportunities) Performing without CDJs: how to make venues/sound techs love you even with extra gear EDM friendships vs business relationships: building real connections without forcing it If you’re a producer trying to find your identity, improve your workflow, or understand how to play the long game in electronic music, this one’s for you. 💻 UPGRADE YOUR PC TODAY!💻 ➡️ https://bit.ly/XLNTORBITAL 🤮 WOOKTRONIC VOL 1 OUT NOW 🤮 https://bit.ly/XLNTWOOKTRONICV1

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 life The 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 connections Getting obsessed with Baaur, trap, and Jersey Club, and how chopping samples shaped her early sound Evolving from mid-tempo into techno, cinematic dance, and vocal-driven records while keeping everything authentic Discovering her singing voice in the studio, using lyrics from her notes app, and treating vocals like another instrument The reality of being a woman in EDM: assumptions about ghost production, image policing, and double standards Her philosophy on collaboration, credits, ghost producing, and why she doesn’t demonize help behind the scenes Designing full show concepts like “Someone You Can Count On,” building characters, stage design, and world-building Trying to balance big long-term vision with the practical need to “focus on what’s working” right now The 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
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 Zedd Why Knock2’s track “ dashstar *” feels like one of the last modern EDM classics with a true solo anthem identity The difference in how ISOxo and Knock2 are being positioned based on genre, sound, and fan reach The shift from progressive house domination to bass house and hybrid trap taking center stage The 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
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 track Why credit matters for smaller artists trying to break through Whether big artists have a responsibility to elevate new talent The culture shift around IDs, edits, and promo on TikTok The role of community building in EDM When borrowing becomes poaching Whether Fred again actually helped LYNY or overshadowed him The 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.

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.
