Insomniac Founder Pasquale Rotella even crashes the studio to invite Jauz on a surf trip.

Keep it locked for Episode 23 of Wide Awake Stories, the Raver’s Official Podcast.

Has the democratization of DJing brought about the end of an art form that provided a cornerstone of dance music? Craze and Z-Trip come through Insomniac HQ to weigh in on the state of the DJ in 2019, while DJ Graham Funke sits in as our guest host. In fact, chances are they’re better known for their discography than their DJ skills. In today’s festival market, you’d be hard-pressed to find a DJ on any lineup that isn’t a producer.
