    White Rabbit NOLA Episode: 05 Paul O'Neill

    This episode centers on Paul O'Neill — a longtime selector whose journey into music started early, shaped by a household of musicians and a life spent chasing progression, both physically and creatively. From discovering underground parties as a teenager to teaching himself how to mix on vinyl without guidance, Paul's path has always been driven by curiosity and instinct. This conversation moves through the deeper side of DJ culture — the kind that isn't about quick hits or trends, but about long-form storytelling, control, and restraint. Paul breaks down his approach to building a room over hours, why he values patience over flash, and how rhythm and basslines guide everything he plays. We also get into his evolution as an artist — stepping away from DJing and returning, transitioning from vinyl to digital, and navigating a scene that's constantly shifting while staying true to his own sound. Along the way, he shares insights on avoiding formulaic music, protecting creative identity, and why, at the end of the day, all that really matters is what's playing in the moment. follow the white rabbit.

    White Rabbit NOLA Episode: 04 ZEVi

    Welcome to the next chapter of the White Rabbit Podcast — a conversation with Zevi Ryan (ZEVi), a DJ, producer, curator, and educator whose approach to music sits at the intersection of craft, intention, and community. This episode explores the idea of DJing not just as performance, but as an art form — something shaped by patience, taste, and the spaces we build for people to experience music together. At the center of the conversation is Zevi's perspective on protecting the creative spirit of DJing. We dig into process — how he builds mixes, what inspires his selections, and how his work as a music educator influences the way he thinks about access, community, and the responsibility artists have to the cultures they participate in.

    White Rabbit NOLA Episode: 03 Greg Lane

    Welcome to the next chapter of the White Rabbit podcast — a grounded look at the Gulf Coast underground through Greg Lane, a.k.a. GMoney — DJ, longtime scene-head, and a believer in the kind of culture that can't be faked. This episode is less about hype and more about the craft: how a night is built, how a scene survives, and how intention shows up in sound. At the center is Greg's patient approach to DJing — long blends, looping textures, and transitions you don't notice until you're already somewhere new. We talk gear and philosophy: why he still loves Traktor for control, what he misses about old-school mixers, and why the "slow mix" can hit harder than the modern rush to the next drop. We also trace the moments that formed him — from the lore of the State Palace era to the night Josh Wink made everything click — and what it means to bring that renegade spirit forward today through collaboration, open-decks like Area 34, and tangible culture like flyers and vinyl.

    White Rabbit NOLA Episode: 02 Glassy Eye

    Welcome to the next chapter of the White Rabbit podcast — a focused look into the heartbeat of New Orleans' drum & bass underground, shaped by the people who've committed themselves to keeping it alive. This episode centers on Glassy Eye — Joe Duzac — a longtime DJ, producer, and community builder whose work spans dance floors, live hardware, radio waves, and late-night rooms across the city. This episode moves through fast broken beats, heavy atmospheres, and the momentum that comes from years of showing up for a sound. From early days opening for local DJs, to helping grow NOLADNB into a nationally recognized collective, to rebuilding dance floors in the wake of COVID through Jungle Punch, Glassy Eye's journey reflects the evolution of a scene that thrives on intention and collaboration. Alongside the music, this episode features an in-depth conversation with Joe about discovering drum & bass, transitioning from live bands to solo electronic performance, learning the craft of DJing, and the balance between playing records, performing live with hardware, and hosting a biweekly online radio show. Together, we talk about community, longevity, creative focus, and the quiet work it takes to sustain an underground culture in a city that demands authenticity. Recorded with intention.
