Drowning out my neighbor's obnoxious leaf blowers with this nice dnb in my headphones.

Welcome to Frequency Underground! This week we've got Atlanta based promoter turned DJ Scott Steiner aka Whatever, Man! He's crafted an excellent set of progressive techno tunes skillfully mixed together. All this is made even more impressive given he's only been djing for a year. Enjoy the mix!

And as always, thanks for listening and be sure to like and follow us if you enjoyed the mix. Keep scrolling down to read our interview with this week's guest!

FREQUENCY UNDERGROUND INTERVIEW WITH WHATEVER, MAN:

Real Name: Scott Steiner

Current city: Atlanta, GA

DJ Collective: Cult-ure Collective

How did you come up with your dj name: 
- The origin of “Whatever, Man” came from a phrase I say all the time, to the point where I get mocked for it. I also believe music should be fun so I wanted to pick a name that didn’t sound so serious. As a DJ, I like to play a wide range of music and it all depends on the scenario and the time and place, so when people ask me what do you play, it’s Whatever, Man. 

How and when did you get into djing: 
- I’ve been DJing for about a year. There’s a saying in the industry, if you hang out long enough you either become a promoter or a DJ. Turns out to be accurate and I ended up doing both. At the start I swore I wouldn’t DJ and instead I would get involved with every other aspect of the industry. I started DJing simply because I wanted to share music that I like. Being surrounded by DJs, my days of being a Spotify DJ came to an end so if I wanted to share music at parties, I needed to learn how to DJ. 

Who are your musical influences and what is your inspiration: 
- I get inspiration from all music, specifically from small events and friends that make music. My inspiration comes from my love of sharing music people probably haven’t heard. I love going to small festival gatherings, like Sonic Oasis, and I always leave feeling inspired by the wide range of styles and music people share. It’s truly a showcase of underground music and new sounds.

Describe your sound as a DJ:
- Gut Music!! It's not defined by one style of sound, beat, or tempo. Gut music is every moment where music transcended fear, annihilated pain, embraced sadness, and lifted indifference. Music is an expression of emotion so I try to deliver that while also having it be fun and upbeat. But really it’s, Whatever, Man and it’s dictated by the time, place, and scenario.

What does the future hold in store for you as an artist:
- As a DJ, it’s just to continue to have fun with it and use it as an outlet to express my emotions. My main area of focus is supporting artist and growing the community through artist management and event production. When it makes sense, I like to play small events, usually put on by friends and I specifically love opening and setting the vibe for the night!

Glitch Mob - 24 October 2023

This is my opening set for the SOLD OUT Halloween show in YYC: Bijou at Beehive's Haus of Horrors. This set was full circle for me since Bijou was one of the artists that got me into House music when I first started DJing. The production of this show was incredible and I'm so honored to have been part of this insane event. Enjoy <3

As a regular space faring commuter it is pretty common to hold disdain towards the traveling space whales. This powerful force of nature can often feel like a pest and a danger but there is something raw, beautiful and powerful about the creatures. Here are some noises that made me thing of them with some driven drums and baselines and haunting but beautiful melodies. From your very own Cantina Reject =)

An Outer Rim kid through and through, raised on blue milk in the streets of Tatooine. Cantina Reject was classically trained and made his living working all the local cantinas. Tired of the same old jazz, Cantina Reject draws his inspiration from the noises of bustling life, the rhythm of a womp rat stomping through the cellars and the roar of a pod racer tearing through the desert air. He hopes to take you on a journey that stretches much farther than the dusty old smuggler den in a sleepy desert town.
