Welcome to the first episode of Back To Back! On today's show, Willy chats with Diplo. The grammy-award winning producer has a busy brain and a relentless hunger for pushing the boundaries of the music industry. He covers his early years, his competitive spirit, why he feels like he can't slow down, moving beyond EDM and dance music,&nbsp;and what projects are coming up for him in the future.&nbsp;

Episode 1: Diplo

Paul Devro, founder and creative director of Mad Decent, joins Willy this week to talk about the past, present and future of his visionary record label. Along with co-founder Diplo, Paul has built an unlikely empire out of forward-thinking music, careful curation, and always being two steps ahead of the musical curve. Paul is the ultimate crate-digger and his love for music and discovery is infectious in this special extended conversation! He and Willy also take their shirts off, making this the sexiest (?) episode of the show so far. &nbsp; Don't forget to grab Willy's new single "Can U Bounce" out now on his soundcloud for free download! And if you're in Japan, catch Willy this week in Nagoya on 7/21 and Tokyo on 7/22.

The Art of Selling Without Selling Out.

Rebel Radio shines a light on cultural pioneers and their influences, reflecting on the roots and future of underground culture. We engage the influencers who define what we wear, watch, listen to, and play with — and how we spend our spare time and loose change — and explore what it means to be a creative entrepreneur today. 

Our weekly interview show explores the journeys of those who do it best in all areas of youth culture. We learn how they stay creative in the face of relentless distract and setbacks. How they make something where previously nothing existed, how they find inspiration and influence, as well as how they inspire and influence others, and what it takes to create movements.
