🎧 In this deep and funky episode, Deckard sits down with Qdup to explore his path from music-obsessed kid to seasoned DJ and producer. They talk Fort Knox, sample packs, improvisational sets, Shambhala Festival, and Qdup's aspirations to play in Ibiza and support fellow underground DJs. It's an honest, energetic convo about the love of music and the scene that surrounds it.
