An energetic house-ish mix of what I played around the Welcome Home sound camps this year. 

Welcome Home, Honey

Welcome Home 2023

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!

Priceless 2023

Next in up in my weekly mix series is this little slice of house music from my Wednesday residency at The Mint Victoria:  DJ Primitive's Hump Day Heaters.  I nabbed this hour of house music and its one of my favourite improvised house mixes to date.  Reminiscent of some of my housier Veneto sets from my weekend residency there circa 2010- 2019- except the music is generally more modern.  Dig in!  hope you likey.

Near Violet blends grit with glamour, her sound rooted in mood, movement, and color. 

With DJ sets that slide between driving house, breakbeats, pop rhythms, and shadowy techno, her ear stays tuned to the dance floor's deeper urges.

She isn't afraid of a little drama.

From cocktail hour to the after party, her dance-forward, atmospheric, and adventurous style has been gaining the attention of club and festival promoters across the Southeast. Her most recent billing supporting Jody Wisternoff is her second with the Anjunadeep label, after Enamour in 2024. 

Catch her in playing in the Charlotte, NC area and collaborating/producing with Vonfunkhauser (as KDNJ).
