Get ready for a deep house/fist pumpin filled episode. We are talking about 2 well known DJs/EDM Producers who have been (and are) killing the game with their innovative sounds and wild takes on rave/club music.
We are talking about the summer EDM music of Chris Lake & the shockingly deep and introspective vibes from Fred again..
For all my millennials, you may actually remember these 2 groups especially if you flew a drone and traveled a lot and made cool IG videos about your trips around 2014-2017. For all my Gen Z-ers, I know you WILL like the aesthetic Electronic and the retro/80s styled R&B that these 2 groups bring to the table.
Sit back, grab your favorite drink, and enjoy the time traveling episode I have in store for you today. We are going to the past, in a sense, and the future 🌅

⚠️ Warning ⚠️ this episode of the podcast WILL give you a) Summer withdrawals b) a sudden urge to book a flight to NY city and/or c) want to make you have a pool party 🪩
We are talking about none other than the bombastic duos POWERS & The Knocks. These 2 duos may be more familiar to my Millenial listeners but their music will resonate with all people trying to stay young, wild, and free. Enjoy the summer time sadness (espcially if you are listening during Winter) ☀️😎

Just like the last episode I have been wantin to talk about these 2 amazing genre blending artists for a LONG TIME. They have been in my rotations for years now and I am low key obsessed with the aesthetic and meloncholy vibes they create in their music.
I missed both of their concerts in UT the last few years and I DO NOT intend to do that again, so check out this episode to hear why I won't be missing my next chance to see these 2 live. New Zealand and Japan, thank you for making these dope artists.

I've been waiting a LONG time to talk about these 2 artists in this R&B, Indie Rock, and Disco filled episode. Come chill and listen to how I sadly missed not 1, but 2 MCH concerts as I fell in love with their music and yet I STILL love listening to their sensual and groovy tracks when I am in a chill mood. And we can't forget about how I found this electronic R&B deep cut of a track back in 2020 and then watched as the same artist became one of this generation's best Disco artists to bring Disco back to life with a touch of R&B and Funk.

I am honored to introduce you all to some of my very good friends, Aldrich and Matt who make up the electronic New Disco group, "Custom Johnny".
These Daft Punk loving, vintage clothes-wearing, classic aesthetic cool cats explain their genre and share with us some really good tips on how to make music that is true to YOU if you are a music creative. They also share some insights on their process of writing and producing and I showcase one of their newer songs "Guest List". Let's chill with my homies and learn from their smooth and tasty advice.
I am honored to talk about 2 of today’s female R&B masters who are dropping sensual bars and vocals with sick beats behind. I name drop SO many other R&B artists who are killing it the game, and like I do every other episode (haha), I mention Daft Punk and others who are contributing to the magic that is R&B and the music world today.
Let’s get this multi-genre bread and catch some vibes!
Songs :
"Feeble" (Unreleased Demo) - Steven Fogamomi
Part 4 of my music & artist recommendations is finally here! I talk about saxophone/beat/mix engineer extraordinaire Masego and the king of "Left of Hip Hop" music. Let's get it!
Songs:

(Unreleased Track/Beat for MIKO VENOM) - Produced by Steven Fogamomi
I thought I’d kick this 2nd season off with my first guest, Kingston Matua.
He is a Rugby Player, BYU Graduate, Podcaster Extraordinaire, US Navy Sailor, and Husband/Dad.
I asked him about how he started his music podcast, how does he make time to make the content for it, and other things pertaining to his music & lyric-centric podcast, “Lyrically Critical".
Songs/Beats
First Song : "Cold Pizza" by Nights (my former Indie Rock Band)
Second Beat : "Kyle and Irene's Theme" by Steven Fogamomi (The Bennett Family Youtube Theme)
As I share my top picks for the internet's dopest rising artists and songs, my advice on how to start up your music career/hobbies, and my opinions about the music industry, you are probably wondering, "WHY should I listen to Steven?" or "What does he know about music?".
Well in this mini-ish episode I thought I'd give you more details on me, your host, Steven Fogamomi :)
First off, THANK YOU to all of you who have been listening, and thank you for your patience on new episodes droppin'! Life has been a little crazy for me but I have MORE episodes coming!
Dec 30th is the first episode of season 2 and I will be adding special guest episodes. Can't wait for you all to tune in to learn and grow with me your host, Steven Fogamomi.
Beat : "Smooth" by Steven Fogamomi (Unreleased Single)
I am back with 2 Indie Rockers/Dance Pop Virtuosos! I am of course talking about Mel Blue and Fiji Blue! These 2 artists are from different parts of the world, BUT from the same world of sad/happy dance anthems.
Check out their music on all streaming platforms and get ready for some dope music to bump in your car during the most anticipated summer of the decade. What more could you ask for?!
Songs
(Unreleased Beat) "Logic Type Sax Beat" - Steven Fogamomi
(Unreleased Beat) "Lofi Dance Beat" - Steven Fogamomi
Fun Fact: "Niu" is the Samoan word for coconut. These Niu Mini Episodes will be "food for thought" ideas and opinions on the music industry and music production/consumption.
I will occasionally be dropping these mini-episodes for all my homies out there that are really busy and only have time for short conversations like these!
This first ever mini episode will focus on "how to be a true fan". I give you insights on how to be an awesome supporter to your fav artists/bands. They have given you so much by sharing their most intimate moments, heartbreaking experiences, and so many more emotions/vibes with their music. It's time to give BACK to them and share the love you have for their art.
What the heck are Stereo and Mono anyway?!?! And why is it so hard to give new music a try!?!? Don't worry my homies, I got you covered :)
I explain what Stereo and Mono are with a simple narrative and I get into my refined process of listening to songs and artists I have never listened to before.
I know it is scary and hard to give the unknown music out there a chance when you are emotionally locked in with your fav artists/playlists, so I hope I can help with your cravings for venturing out and finding new music to bump in your car.
As always, Stay Chill and Stay Fresh.
Song 1 break - "Up Late" by Steven Fogamomi (feat. MegaDudeXD)
