Ep. 052 - [ill.Gates Tells Crazy DJ Stories]

It’s our one year anniversary of the podcast and we’re celebrating with our mentor, the one and only ill.Gates! ill.Gates is a successful producer who has DJ’d at shows and festivals around the world. He also followed his passion for education and launching other producer’s careers by founding the Producer Dojo where all of our hosts studied music production and are currently on staff coaching the next generation of producers. Listen in on part 1 of our conversation as ill.Gates tells crazy stories from starting to DJ in high school, raving before cell phones, getting his first record deal as The Phat Conductor and how his first Burning Man experience changed his life. He also tells a story we’re calling “Frank’s Lemons” which is hands down the craziest story that has ever been told on this show!
