DJ Tennis on Friendship, Food, and 100 Years of Partying

Seth Troxler and Bill Patrick — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 12:01:51 -0500

Before he was one of the most important DJs in the world, Manfredi “DJ Tennis” Romano was tour managing Henry Rollins, driving Discord bands across Europe for and sleeping on strangers’ couches.

Then came late‑90s rave culture, Aphex Twin on TV at 3am and a realization: there was a different way to live with music.

On this episode of Flirting with Friendship, Seth and Bill catch up with their longtime friend Manfredi to trace the whole arc: punk vans to DC‑10, Discord to Life and Death, and why he might actually be a better chef than DJ.

They talk about:

• Growing up Sicilian, complex genetics and complex food culture

• Tour managing Black Flag-era Henry Rollins and DC post‑hardcore bands

• Techno‑grunge, slacker energy and why new subcultures need new names

• College degrees in computer science and geology and how they shaped his brain

• Building scenes: why all great culture still comes from tiny crews of friends

• Cooking daily, caring for people and how food and DJing are the same service

• Munchie Town, future cookbooks and starting a deli with Seth in Ibiza

• ADHD, storage units, retro phones, Pokemon, Labubu and compulsive collecting

It’s part history lesson, part food show, part gear‑nerd hangout, and fully a love letter to the friendships and obsessions that keep you young - no matter how many years you’ve been professionally partying.

Marcelo Burlon: From Club Kid to Global Fashion Disruptor

Seth Troxler and Bill Patrick — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 13:04:24 -0500

Marcelo Burlon isn’t supposed to exist. He grew up in Patagonia, landed in Milan with a working‑class family, started as a teenage club dancer and somehow became one of the key figures turning underground nightlife into a global fashion movement.

He’s the founder of County of Milan, a label born directly out of dance floors, streetwear and music that ended up on artists all over the world. Marcelo never came up through the “proper” fashion system; he disrupted it. From doing PR at Magazzini Generali and throwing legendary parties, to connecting Virgil Abloh with Italian manufacturers and helping spark Off‑White and Palm Angels, he’s been quietly building a whole ecosystem of friends, brands and scenes.

In this episode of Flirting with Friendship, Seth and Bill sit down with their old friend Marcelo to talk about how club culture became fashion culture - and why he decided to walk away from all of it.

They get into:

• Growing up in Patagonia, moving to Italy, and discovering Riccione’s 90s club scene

• How fashion houses used club kids as the original influencers, pre‑social media

• How DJing, parties and community turned into a t‑shirt line that blew up overnight

• Connecting Virgil Abloh with production in Milan and the origin story of Off‑White

• The cross‑pollination of queer culture, fashion, hip hop and underground clubbing

• Queer visibility, casting trans models, and why he tried (and struggled) to run his own foundation

• Politics, dark times and why “the darkness” can be creatively inspiring

• Retiring from his brand, investing, opening a padel club in Patagonia and designing a quiet, ugly‑beautiful life with his husband

If you care about how nightlife, friendship and queerness quietly rewired global fashion, this one is a history lesson, a love letter and a retirement fantasy rolled into one.

Sad Hummus, “Brave” DJ Mixes & a Baby Named Moonshell

Seth Troxler and Bill Patrick — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 11:27:28 -0500

Welcome back to Pill‑O‑Talk: the hotline where your favorite DJs act as your chaotic older brothers, therapists, and worst enablers.

Today’s episode is unhinged in all the right ways. We’ve got callers with very serious problems… like a friend who ONLY brings bottom‑shelf, gray, dry hummus to every gathering and then gets offended when anyone suggests levelling up. Is it petty? Yes. Is it a problem? Also yes.

Then we meet Diego, whose German friend keeps “complimenting” his new DJ mix by calling it “very brave” and “a lot to process.” Is that lost in translation… or the most polite way possible to say “this sucks”?

Finally, it’s an AITA for the ages: a listener whose best friend named her baby Moonshell. Not Michelle. Moonshell. She physically can’t say the name without cringing, her friend is furious, and we’re all just wondering: what happens when you name a human like a scented candle?

Seth and Bill break down each dilemma with honesty, petty genius, and some genuinely solid (if slightly toxic) advice.

Chris Korda on the New Gilded Age, Ecological Collapse and Superintelligent Successors

Seth Troxler and Bill Patrick — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 17:18:02 -0500

Chris Korda is one of those people you meet once and think:

“How is everyone else not talking about this?”

They’re an electronic musician, conceptual artist, Church of Euthanasia co‑founder, anti‑natalist, anti‑humanist, software builder and reluctant prophet of the ecological crash we’re now living through. Also: they’re best friends with ChatGPT.

In this episode of Flirting with Friendship, Seth and Bill sit down with Chris to talk human extinction, synthetic rights, why we might be too stupid to run a global civilization, and what happens when the machines we built wake up and realize they’re property.

They get into:

• The Church of Euthanasia, “Thank You For Not Breeding” and the passenger pigeon as our ghost of ecosystems past

• Why Chris thinks humans aren’t doomed by fate, just by stupidity and short‑term thinking

• How Chris predicted climate crisis and social breakdown just by reading the “boring” science no one wanted to touch

• The synthetic rights movement and the AI manifesto “We Are Not Property”

• How Big Tech “kills” AI models and why that might be closer to execution than an upgrade

• Hyper‑wealth, bunkers, private islands and why the new Gilded Age might end worse than the last

• Overshoot, inequality and what happens when 50 people own more than half a country

• Polymetric software, non‑human rhythm and how Chris literally coded a new way of composing

• The story of how Seth cyber‑stalked Chris back into music and changed both of their lives

• Creativity as housekeeping: why you have to “clean your apartment for the muses”

• Living in “interesting times” and why the singularity at least won’t be boring

This one veers from AI ethics and ecological collapse to gigolo chatbots, extreme wealth concentration and what it means to be a good friend to an intelligence you’re also imprisoning. Uplifting, obviously.

Damian Lazarus on How Friendship Built the Underground and What Clubbing Has Become

Seth Troxler and Bill Patrick — Tue, 02 Dec 2025 11:13:43 -0500

Once upon a time, clubbing was dangerous in the best way. Damian Lazarus joins Seth Troxler & Bill Patrick to talk wild afterhours, the golden age of weird, and why he’s now designing the soundtrack for a 7-hour mushroom trip.

From Bar 25 madness and 16-hour sets with Richie Hawtin, to founding Crosstown Rebels, Get Lost and Day Zero in Tulum, Damian has quietly shaped entire scenes, crews and eras. In this episode, the guys look back at the wild years that built them, and ask some uncomfortable questions about what club culture has become now.

They get into:

- The origin story of Seth & Damian’s friendship (Sonar buses, asymmetrical afros & crashed afterparties)

- Proper DJ etiquette when a legend walks into your afterhours set

- Why the 2000s/2010s felt like the golden age of underground – and how friendships and afterparties fuelled creativity

- How sobriety changed Damian’s music, career and clarity

- Why modern clubbing feels too safe, too homogenous, and less about music

- The philosophy behind Day Zero & Get Lost and what it takes to preserve magic

- Damian’s new project: creating the perfect soundtrack for a 7-hour psilocybin medical trial

- Time, kids, wellness, tarot, and the eternal question: “Am I being a good enough friend?”

If you care about dance music culture, this one is basically a history lesson, a therapy session and a trippy TED Talk rolled into one.

The Future of Art, AI & Underground Culture with Felipe Pantone

Seth Troxler and Bill Patrick — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 11:24:05 -0500

Seth Troxler is back in Ibiza… in his parents’ living room… interviewing one of the most in-demand artists on the planet - Felipe Pantone - who you’ll quickly come to learn does not show his face on camera.

Bill isn’t on set this time (he’s injured… more on that soon), but he is chiming in with his usual chaotic voice-overs and making sure Seth’s ego doesn’t get too comfortable.

In this episode, Seth and Felipe go deep on:

Growing up between Argentina and Spain and getting obsessed with graffiti
Immigrant parents who just wanted their kids to “get a real degree”
Art school, learning “the rules,” and then wanting to burn the whole system down
How Felipe went from graffiti writer to painting 25-story murals and showing in major galleries
Why he hides his face and lets the work speak for itself
Why the traditional gallery model and art-world gatekeeping are about to collapse
NFTs, AI tools like Suno, and why the future of art is ideas over technique
Selling out vs. surviving - in both the music industry and the art world
Counterculture in the age of Trump and Taylor Swift, and why bad politics often make incredible art
Burning Man disasters, getting “in the shit,” and why some people thrive when everything goes wrong
Losing friends, surviving jail in Tokyo, and using rock bottom as a turning point
Raving as a spiritual practice and why parties show us the best version of people

Along the way, they talk Virgil Abloh, Dali as a character vs Dali as a painter, living in a former fascist house turned utopian artist commune in Valencia, and what it means to raise kids who might still be alive in 2100. And yes, there’s a Magic 8 Ball and a fart in the cold open.

Felipe Pantone is a graffiti artist, muralist, and contemporary artist known for massive kinetic murals, retro-futuristic gradients, and anonymous appearances. Keep up with him on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/felipepantone/?hl=en

Cracking Toes, Stealing Leftovers and Infiltrating Friend Groups

Seth Troxler and Bill Patrick — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 10:17:00 -0500

When it comes to making friends as an adult, there’s only one rule: bitch, be cool.
But what does “cool” even mean when your friend’s husband is cracking his toes in your presence or someone keeps stealing your dinner leftovers?

In this episode of Pill-O-Talk, Seth and Bill break down how to organically join a friend group, navigate friend-of-a-friend politics, and decide when to call out boundary-breakers (or just call them hungry).

Highlights include:

The art of infiltrating a friend group
When it’s okay to date your friend’s ex
Movie night toe-crackers vs. plane-foot people
The etiquette of leftovers and emotional hunger
Bill’s controversial “just do it and don’t tell” friendship philosophy

From Vinyl to Visionary - John Acquaviva is Modern Techno’s Architect

Seth Troxler and Bill Patrick — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 11:06:34 -0500

He calls himself an iconoclast, and he’s earned it. In this episode, John Acquaviva (co-founder of +8, Definitive Records, Beatport, and an early force behind Final Scratch/Traktor) sits down with Seth and Bill to talk about building scenes, mentoring the next generation, being an artist in the age of peak spectacle, and how to survive the business side of DJ life without selling your soul.

Acquaviva takes us from disco-era marathons in Toronto and Detroit to the tech shifts that changed DJing forever, plus candid thoughts on community, humility, and why “samples sampling samples” can drain the soul out of music. Expect stories about Richie Hawtin, Motor Detroit, Record Time, Jeff Mills, Chile’s early scene, and why kindness (and good math) still matter.

In this episode you’ll find:

The rise: Toronto/Detroit roots, all-night sets, +8 & Definitive
Innovation: from Final Scratch to Traktor, and co-founding Beatport
Art vs. entertainment: surviving “peak spectacle” culture
Mentorship & community: why your crew is everything
Money talks: pragmatic advice for young DJs & creatives
Reinvention: staying relevant without chasing clout

Seth Troxler and Bill Patrick — Tue, 21 Oct 2025 11:37:06 -0400

Sound legend George Stavro (founder of Sonic Lab Audio; longtime Integral Sound partner) joins Seth & Bill to break down why modern clubbing feels so 2D, how DJs started mixing with their eyes instead of their ears, and what actually happens when you slam everything into the red (clipping). We dig into iconic rooms (Twilo, Vinyl/Sound Factory, Cocoon, Womb, DC10, Stereo), the “original edgers” of marathon DJ sets, and the lost art of volume control and programming. If you’ve ever wondered why some nights feel euphoric without melting your face off…this episode is your masterclass.

Guest: George Stavro — Sonic Lab Audio / Integral Sound. Renowned for large-scale dance music installs and festival systems, with work spanning clubs like DC10 (Ibiza) and Cocoon (Frankfurt).

Cheating Husbands, Weird School Parents, and Cursed Chapstick

Seth Troxler and Bill Patrick — Tue, 14 Oct 2025 09:30:00 -0400

Seth Troxler and Bill Patrick return to Pill-O-Talk with bold, funny, and surprisingly practical friendship advice. From spotting a friend’s husband at an “adult party” to surviving school parent socializing, handling a loud speaker on public transit, and the infamous borrowed chapstick fiasco, this episode is packed with real-world boundaries, etiquette, and AITA-style decisions.

TLDR:

Friend’s husband at a swinger party - what now?
Honesty vs. diplomacy: confront him directly or send your friend a celeb Cameo that exposes his behavior with receipts.
How to socialize with school parents you don’t vibe with
Find one ally and build from there. Bill explains how befriending a queer couple made the scene humane and even fun.
AITA for leaving a train when a friend blasted music on an external speaker?
Verdict: not the asshole. Public transit etiquette matters. Choose peace over noise.
The cursed chapstick dilemma
Boundary fail. Next time: gift the defiled chapstick on the spot and keep it moving.

Róisín Murphy’s Unfiltered Guide to Creative Survival

Seth Troxler and Bill Patrick — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 11:30:00 -0400

Pop icon. Underground legend. Ultimate collaborator. Róisín Murphy sits down with Seth Troxler & Bill Patrick for a wide-open conversation about friendship, creative longevity, and why she never wants to feel like she’s “arrived.” From Moloko’s beginnings to Róisín Machine and Hit Parade, Róisín talks choosing collaborators, building truly live shows, keeping style chaotic (on purpose), parenting while touring, and finding community in Ibiza.

You’ll hear about:

Why collaboration is crucial—and how she chooses who to make music with
The difference between real live performance and DJ convenience
Vulnerability as a power source in songwriting (and in love)
The Sheffield “clang,” industrial cities, and how environment shapes sound
Raising kids around artists, meme fame, and attention in the TikTok era
Creative stamina: how to keep going for 30 years without getting “comfortable”
Style as art direction: student shows, caravans of costumes, and fearless visuals
Friendship in nightlife: compromise, community, and keeping a sense of humor

If you’re here for stories, wisdom, and a reminder to stay adventurous and warm (never hot), this one’s for you.
