COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy get a chance to take a big step toward the playoffs on Friday night. Because a win over the visiting Seattle Sounders would set them up nicely for their tough road trip and carry some positive momentum. 

On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieria discuss all the Galaxy news that will matter on Friday night, even when some information is breaking while they talk.

The guys will start by looking at the Herbalife renewal and determine if the Galaxy got what they deserved from the longest-running sponsorship in Major League Soccer. Why was having AEG as part of the negotiation important to this? And why didn't the Galaxy take this to the market? 

Next, the guys will focus on the press conference of Riqui Puig and why Puig may think of himself as a pioneer. Can someone with his pedigree lead young players to MLS? And can Riqui possibly match the club's and fans' expectations for him in the final ten games of the regular season?

Finally, Josh and Eric cover the game with the Sounders. It's a team they haven't beaten in a very long time, but it's also a team that is slumping when they should be thriving. Can Brian Schmetzer turn them around at Dignity Health Sports Park? And Can Greg Vanney finally get some revenge on a Seattle team that stole an MLS cup from him?

We've got a great show for you today, and we're thrilled that you've decided to join us. Drive safe to the game on Friday, and we'll see you back in our little Corner of the Galaxy next week.

Quick Moves, Tight Spaces, and Riqui Puig. LA Galaxy get a showdown with Seattle.

Today's a special day for me friends,

I haven't released an original in almost a year. I realized that although I was garnering support from some of the greats that I looked up to, like Armin, Tiesto, Above & Beyond, etc; none of it mattered, because I found myself doing something that wasn't me. I was chasing trends, instead of trying to set them. I was trying to remake tracks that had already been made. I wasn't pushing myself creatively. Of course it's hard to do something different, but I think that's why I was scared. I was scared of failing, and I was comfortable. It's easy to do something people know, people like, something people have already embraced. It's hard to challenge yourself, take a risk, and continue to believe in yourself no matter what comes about. 

I think I made close to 50/60 original tracks till I made something that was so different but so cool to me. That track was Get It On. A friend of mine, this INCREDIBLE writer Jake Warren, sent me this vocal chop with a deep house track, but I heard something that had more soul to it. I started messing around with it, and in a hotel room in Austin, where I was stuck because of some crazy hurricane, I made this track. I couldn't believe it, but it felt special, it felt different. And i wasn't in a big fancy studio, I didn't have my keyboard or anything. I had my laptop and my headphones, and I felt outstanding. What transpired that day changed everything for me, for Jenaux. I had a new vision, a new direction that was me, that felt like me. I didn't have to drag tracks into my projects anymore and try to see how I can remake that person's lead, or synths, or anything. I just went with the flow, and confided in myself.  After that day, I tested this track out for the first time at Give Thanks in San Jose in November, and the response was UNREAL. I knew i landed on something special. It's since been an enormous part of my sets.

The problem with doing something different creatively, I feel like people are inclined to hate, or tell you that you shouldn't because it's not what's typical, or familiar. Well let me tell you this, you do you, you trust yourself, and surround yourself with people who believe in you, who will support you no matter what. That's key. And then try and push yourself creatively till you can't go any further. Battle your mind with positivity. Seize your inner artistry.

Anyway, I really hope you guys dig this track, it's the beginning of something special. I have so much more in store for you, already ready to go. Praying that you guys stick with me on this incredible journey. Thank you all for the support in the past and the future.

Much love,

Eugene
