We had the honor to sit and chat with one of the most influential people in the Seattle music & entertainment scene, the legendary DJ Cide.

We chat about how he got into Djing, becoming a Redbull 3style Contender, opening and touring with some of the biggest names in Hip-hop, and how he stayed grounded throughout his career. We also get to dive deep into how he balances his new family life as he spends less time in night clubs but is still just as involved with his passion for music. DISCLAIMER: DJ Cide makes a huge announcement for the first time publicly in this episode, but you will just have to listen to find out what it is!

Welcome back aboard Connecting Flight Radio! This week we have an east-coast icon among us! Hailing from the great state of Massachusetts, DJ Mario is synonymous with the Boston DJ and music scene. He is a long time veteran in the game, but still has the hustle and work ethic of a newbie trying to get their first shot. That is a dangerous combination.
We speak to Dj Mario about how he grew from just being a local dj to now running and booking talet at many of the most exclusive venues in the Boston area. Ohh, did we mention he owns a music studio and runs one of the premier event production companies in New England. Oh yeah, he also does all of this while still balancing husband & daddy duties taking time for his wife and their two kids!
Super Mario Papathanasiou does it all. This episode is an amazing opportunity to get into the business mind of someone who has set up the lifestyle that most djs would strive for once we get into our 40's . Get your notepad and highlighters out for this one.

Born and raised in the Bay Area, but now representing Las Vegas, Yo Yolie has made her name synonymous with excellence in the DJ space. Her turntable skills have proven over and over again to be true to the DJ tradition by seamlessly mixing the newest sounds with the rarest gems. Her ever growing resume speaks for itself, holding down multiple radio station residencies across the country while also playing at many of the biggest & best clubs, parties, and events in Vegas, The Bay, and beyond.
In our conversation we dig into how personality and personal traits shape who she is, and how she attacks her daily tasks. She schools us on our own DISC assessment by tying it in with astrology, her favorite personality test.
We talk about how she has navigated this past year and how she is going to come back even stronger than before. Also we discuss how she has become a more positive and inspirational person over the past few years, but still keeps her outspoken straight to the point personality.
You already know Yo Yolie is a tastemaker behind the decks, that being said, she hooks us up with an exclusive New-Wave inspired mix that will keep you reaching for your shazam app the whole time. Mix starts (01:53:57)

On this 41st edition of Connecting Flight Radio we have one of the funniest and most genuine DJs in the game, Las Vegas native DJ Que!! Que talks with us about his come up in the game and how he has stayed relevant for so long. He sheds light on how he is able to balance working as a full time DJ and also a Real Estate agent (something that ParaDice tried and failed miserably at). Mixed into all this discussion is just Que making jokes and us laughing uncontrollably.
On a more serious note Que is the first guest of the CFR podcast who has had a child, so we dig into how fatherhood has changed and improved his careers and life in general. This is a really interesting topic since most millennials are waiting longer and longer to have kids if at all. And as annoying as it is to be on a flight with a crying baby, we had to ask Que what it's like to be on the other side as a parent in that situation.
This interview is really fun and most just us talking shit, but there are a few gems hidden in this episode that anyone could get value from!! We hope you enjoy it. Interview starts (00:10:57)
DJ Que gives us an hour long mix of high energy bangers from start to finish!! It's a must listen next time you are on a long hike or something like that!! Mix starts (01:29:15)

We are back in the air for your listening pleasure! We have a special guest Daniel Rocco in the jump seat with us today. This man has DJed in the presence of elite company at some of the most prestigious venues and events in the country. Rocking parties from coast to coast and internationally with Pauly D and opening for superstars like Lauryn Hill have given Danny countless amazing stories that he shares with us on this episode. The narrative of his come up in the music scene is awesome, but the real gem of this interview is Daniel's introspection on mental heath and well-being that make for some conversations that we have not delved into on the podcast yet. Be sure to have a notebook ready for this one because this one hits different.
As per usual we got a mix from the man himself. Fasten your seat belts because this is one of the more diverse mixes you have heard on CFR to date. Danny hooked us up with a New Wave inspired DJ set that he recorded for on of his clients at Art Basel, Miami. Mix starts (01:42:10)

Welcome back to Connecting Flight Radio, as quarantine continues, we have something a little bit different for you this week!
We interview the one and only jazz music extraordinaire Jason Fabus. A Saxophonist based out of Southern California, this man does it all. He is a band leader of 4 separate bands, has his own record label (Jason Fabus Productions) and he also shares his talents to the next generation through music education. Jason's list of accomplishments is growing year over year. His resume is quite impressive regularly working with major companies such as Disney, HBO, FOX, NBC and Netflix to name a few. To call him a rising star in the Jazz scene would me a massive understatement. Jason's latest solo album NOW! is available on all streaming platforms. Please enjoy this super unique and wide-ranging interview with a soon to be jazz legend.
After the interview, DJ ParaDice puts together a buttery mix comprised of music preformed or produced by Jason and his bands, this mix is very different from anything you have heard on the podcast before.
