About this episode

Bert Kreischer interviews Dillon Francis about the realities of being a DJ and the evolution of music genres.

I sit down with Dillon Francis to talk about blowing up during the early days of social media, what life as a DJ actually looks like versus what I think it is, and defining EDM, reggaeton and trap music. We get into who actually belongs on a DJ stage, reinventing yourself creatively, Diplo being ahead of every trend, and why Australia might be the greatest place on Earth.
