You know it when you hear it. Timeless, feel-good rock, deep soul grooves, and dancefloor anthems set to a windy, oceanic backdrop.
You know it when you see it. Feathered hair tucked under a captain's hat, aviators, tropical shirt, scarves, ascots, maybe a tropical drink melting in your hand. All the sights and sounds of this millennium's favorite retrospective, fictional genre known and loved as "Yacht Rock".
We kick off this episode of the pod spinning some of these beloved tracks with the frontman of fun, Captain Seawalker, in his Captain's Lounge to test the waters as to whether these audio gems qualify as "yacht or nyacht".
We sail back in time to the early influences of his mom's record collection and finding his DJ sensibility as an in-demand performer playing clubs and festivals under the humorously memorable moniker "DJ2Nutz." We also dive into the technical aspects of DJing, from beat matching to mixing songs seamlessly in key.
The Captain was born, just like this pod, in 2020, during the height of the COVID pandemic, and we hear about his move from the night clubs to the marina, the spectacle of his yacht-infused live shows and virtual live streams, and what makes yacht rock such an irresistible (and comical) genre that “you have to have no soul” not to love.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want?

Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships.
