Don't Tell Anyone Episode 15 (Control Room)

On this episode of Don’t Tell Anyone, we’re joined by Paul & Caleb — the duo behind Control Room.Hailing from two small towns in northern Canada’s oil country, Paul and Caleb met while studying power engineering and eventually found themselves working side by side as control room operators. What started as a creative outlet quickly evolved into a shared obsession, shaping the sound that would become Control Room.Built on relentless trial and repetition, their music is driven by punchy basslines, sharp leads, and drums designed to move dancefloors without overcomplicating the moment. Their records have earned support from artists including Dr. Fresch, BIJOU, Habstrakt, and Wax Motif, with spins on Diplo’s Revolution and Insomniac Radio. Their music has also been heard on stages and at festivals such as Tomorrowland, Ultra, EDC Las Vegas, Burning Man, and Shambhala.At the heart of Control Room is a relentless work ethic, mutual respect, and a genuine love for the community that raised them. In this conversation, we dive into their journey from oil country to the global stage, the mindset behind their music, and their commitment to leaving every scene stronger than they found it.Stay Connected:Follow Don't Tell Anyone Podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5JW43UUYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@donttellanyonemusicpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dtamusicpodcastFollow Control Room:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0tLJ8Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/controlroommusicSoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/controlroommusicFollow Reapecks:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1cJDuYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@realreapecksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealreapecks
