In this episode, we sit down with Chicago artist Boy Maj, fresh off the release of his album PREMIUM VIBES Vol. 1. We go deep on what it means to create PREMIUM VIBES—not just as an album title, but as a mindset. From his roots playing French horn to building immersive live shows, Maj shares what it takes to be intentional with your art in a world full of distractions.

We also get into what it’s like working behind the scenes at Shure, helping shape the way creators interact with technology, and how storytelling, design, and community all play a part in making something truly premium. Whether it's crafting a music release, building a brand experience, or just vibing with friends, Maj brings a thoughtful approach to everything he does. This one was a joy to record—tune in and enjoy the ride.

In this episode of Poducer, we sit down with Orville Kline, a genre-bending DJ, producer, and longtime staple of the city’s underground electronic scene. From his explosive live sets and wild stage antics to his deep expertise in music production, Orville blends technical mastery with pure chaos in the best way possible.

We dive into his journey from punk shows to warehouse raves, the rise of the iconic Porn and Chicken parties, and how touring shaped his approach to performance. As one of the few Ableton Certified Trainers in the Midwest, Orville also shares insights into his production workflow, teaching philosophy, and the evolving landscape of electronic music education.

In this episode of Poducer, we sit down with Artie Do Good — a genre-bending producer, trombonist, educator, and storyteller who fuses live jazz instrumentation with electronic music and deeply rooted political themes.

From his early days throwing ska shows in Kenosha to composing orchestral works in NYC, Artie walks us through his evolution as an artist, educator, and community builder. We dig into the influence of Chicago’s DIY scene, the impact of labor movements and socialist philosophy on his music, and the creative process behind his powerful album Socialist Dance Party.

We also explore the intersection of soulful composition and beat production, his dual life as a teacher and performer, and the growing movement of emotionally intelligent masculinity (aka himboism). Plus, he shares unreleased tracks, stories of musical mentorship, and memories of transformative shows like D’Angelo at Afropunk.

In this episode of Poducer, we sit down with Chicago-based house producer, DJ, and attorney Arum — a rising voice in the underground scene known for his soulful, groove-forward productions, community organizing, and fiercely human-centered approach to music.

He shares how early influences like Crystal Castles and Death from Above shaped his love for experimental rhythms, and why he now champions house music with emotion, texture, and intention.

Arum breaks down his creative process, his views on algorithm-driven promotion, and how he uses marketing tools like Meta ads with intention — all while avoiding the industry’s pressure to chase empty numbers. We also dive into his legal background, discussing music contracts, AI concerns, and why empowering artists with knowledge is at the core of his mission.

Plus, we talk about Beyond Ecstasy Vol. 2, the multi-genre event he’s curating at Book Club Chicago on August 2, featuring names like Backpack, Dante Drives, Yannaa Lynette, and more — a night that blends house, hip-hop, experimental electronics, and rave history into one vibrant community gathering.

In this episode of Poducer, we sit down with Charlie Heldman — Chicago-based artist, producer, and founder of Windy City Wavs, a grassroots music production collective dedicated to building community, fostering creativity, and supporting independent artists.

Charlie opens up about his journey from his early teenage band days to developing his own R&B-inspired sound — blending sweet lyrics with soulful, sexy beats. We explore his approach to growth as an artist, the role of collaboration in shaping his music, and how consistency and community feedback have fueled his development.

Beyond music, Charlie shares his perspective as a studying therapist, reflecting on mental health, empathy, and the importance of creating safe spaces for expression. He talks candidly about navigating self-doubt, learning to shift negative self-talk, and balancing passion with purpose.
