In this episode, we sit down with one of Seattle's electronic music legends—Johnny Monsoon! This conversation is packed with mind-blowing stories from his 20+ year career.
From his early days spinning vinyl to holding down residencies at iconic Seattle venues like Last Supper Club and Foundation, Johnny has shared the decks with every heavyweight in the game. He even tells the wild story of getting just seven minutes’ notice to fill in for Above & Beyond at a New Year’s festival—no pressure, right? He also shares powerful insights on how he’s stayed passionate and creative without burning out.
If you’ve been part of the Seattle dance music scene at any point over the last two decades, you’ve definitely seen his name on flyers or got lost in the vibe during one of his unforgettable sets. Johnny gives us the inside scoop on working with USC Events, Insomniac, and drops exciting news about bringing back his legendary Sound of Trance podcast in 2025.
Whether you're a DJ, a longtime raver, or just curious about the history of Seattle's electronic music scene and it's future, this episode is gold.
