On this episode of Feed The DJ Podcast, GirlOnTheRocks sits down with RHETLAW — the “GrooveBox Gladiator” known for blending soulful melodies, hypnotic rhythms, and high-energy genre-defying sets. Rising from South Jersey’s underground to notable stages and residencies, RHETLAW shares the journey that shaped his unique sound.

Together, they dive into the early moments that sparked his musical path, his evolution from DJ to producer, and the life lessons music has taught him along the way. RHETLAW opens up about his love for vinyl culture, the influence of jungle and UK-garage, and the albums and artists that permanently shifted his creative lens.

This conversation is full of movement, meaning, and music — perfect for listeners who love dance culture, crate-digging stories, and the artistry behind building a set that’s not just heard, but felt. And make sure to stick around until the end of the episode to hear some fresh music and beats straight from RHETLAW.

We’re back outside — and today’s episode is a MOVIE. I’m chopping it up with my guy Westside Flip, Harlem-born DJ-producer and certified NYC nightlife heavyweight. If you’ve partied anywhere from House of Yes to Baby’s Alright, Lot Radio, or the Apollo Theater, you’ve definitely felt his energy. Flip’s sets are pure global fusion — amapiano, baile funk, hip-hop, jazz, house, dembow — all wrapped in that signature New York flavor.

We talk about the come-up, leveling up, flipping the room’s energy, navigating the ever-changing NYC club scene, and building a sound that travels the world without leaving the booth.

And don’t go anywhere — Flip shuts down the episode with an exclusive live DJ set.

Today on Feed the DJ, I’m talking with Saphyre—an electronic producer and rising DJ whose sound blends U.K. dance, U.S. house, and the nostalgic warmth of 80s/90s reggae + dancehall. Her music channels the energy of warehouse rave culture while still feeling fresh, modern, and emotionally driven.

We discuss what inspired her unique sound palette, her transition from producer to DJ, and how her creative process shifts when she’s behind the decks. We also get into a bigger conversation: the lack of a true local electronic scene, what community is missing, and how we can build more spaces that nurture electronic artists right here at home.

We talk about crossover potential with hip-hop, challenges of finding the right shows, and the importance of making space for artists who don’t fit into one single box.

PLUS — stay till the end to hear her brand new single “Red Flag Rhythm.”
A real convo on artistry, genre, identity—and what it will take to build a stronger electronic community from the ground up.
