On easily the highest-energy episode of The Racket House Podcast to date, I sat down with the Disco demon himself, The @goshfather

Victor, aka The Goshfather, is a San Francisco-based artist who’s shaking up the electronic music scene by blending disco, funk, and tech house into a sound that’s truly his own. Inspired by legends like Daft Punk and Duck Sauce, Goshfather has earned residencies across the U.S., toured globally, and, in 2023, challenged himself to release a new track every single week—a challenge he crushed. His music has been supported by names like Bingo Players, Dr. Fresch, and Diplo, and he’s racking up hundreds of thousands of downloads on his music.

I'd never met Goshfather today but I wanted him on because he popped up on my social media feeds earlier this year and then I started seeing him everywhere. I love how dialed in his brand is - the head-banging disco junkie with a distinct look and outfit. His social media is both inspiring and hilarious. He's always offering tips and insights to artists. He made it on his own by releasing tons of music and staying active on socials and he's got a big personality.

The convo got intense in the best way as we discussed the state of the music industry and what artists need to do to be successful. You can tell how passionate Goshfather is and I love him for it. PROTECT THIS MAN AT ALL COSTS!

From an early age it’s been about the rhythm section for Racket Club. Playing drums in bands that covered Rage Against the Machine and Deftones, Racket Club’s style has since morphed into what he calls Disco-Tech: a little Disco, a little Tech, and everything in between. He has an affinity for bouncy House music bass lines with female and hip hop vocals and you know he’s going to throw down in the club having done it for nearly 15 years, at venues like Sound Nightclub LA, Academy LA, Audio San Francisco, House of Blues, Lost Beach Club (Ecuador), Slate New York, and Zuma Boston. 

Racket Club has played support for and alongside heavy hitters HoneyLuv, Gene Farris, Westend, DJ Susan, OFFAIAH, Pickle, and Zen Freeman and he’s been on the bill for Groove Cruise, Wicked Paradise, Space Yacht, Hood Politics, Framework, and even Mammoth Mountain.

On the production side Racket Club’s released a flurry of edits that have gone viral on SoundCloud including his Beyoncé edit that’s approaching 50K streams and has aired on BBC Radio 1. He’s also had releases on Top Shelf Disco and Quincy Boy Records, with a release on Hood Politics out Spring 2023.

Former member of the record label Top Shelf Disco, a founder of the event series Pizza & Techno plus a co-founder of the music blog My Music Is Better Than Yours, Racket Club is no stranger to the electronic music world. Keep an eye on this LA-based stud as his single goal in life is to make you dance.
