What connects hair metal on the sunset strip with Burning Man, the Dotcom Bubble, and Planet E Communications?

On this this week's episode we find out, with the man who was formerly label manager for Carl Craig's imprint, grew up in the Bay Area and was in the first group of employees and AskJeeves.com...!

Monty Luke is a great DJ and producer who has been around the block a few times. We therefore had much to discuss, including the aforementioned journey from dive bars in LA in the late 80s, through early years as a DJ in California rave scene, emerging as a character in the industry to eventually ending up in Berin.

And we discuss his new album on Rekids too.

This is a great conversation with a man who has stories for days, you're gonna enjoy it!
