You know their tunes. Now meet the person behind them.

This isn't your average DJ podcast.

Storytelling meets performance. Every episode, told on the artist's terms.

Beyond the Decks is a cinematic interview and live performance series that goes deeper than any 90-minute festival set allows. From underground legends to global headliners, each episode is raw, personal, and immersive, capturing the full breadth of who these artists are, not just as performers, but as people. No green rooms, no PR handlers, no scripted questions. We show up to the places that matter most to them and let the conversation go wherever it needs to go.

Beyond the Decks exists because we saw a gap nobody was filling. Every episode is built entirely around the artist: the location, the setting, the music, all curated by them, not a label, not a booking agent, not a festival programmer. That means a place that genuinely means something to their story, music they've been dying to play, and a vibe that's intimate with a few friends or a full-blown party. Dance music artists are some of the most creative people alive, yet the industry often keeps them in a box, the same 90 minutes of crowd-ready material, repeated city after city. There's rarely space for them to show the world who they actually are.

That's the gap Beyond the Decks fills: a window into the artist behind the sound, tied to a moment and a place that matters, documented at the highest level of production.

Interview outdoors

Part One

The Interview

15 – 30 minutes

Shot at a location the artist chooses, somewhere meaningful, nostalgic, or personal. The space becomes part of the story. We skip the surface-level career talk and go deeper: hidden passions, mental health, cultural identity, artistic struggles, and the moments you've never heard before.

DJ Set

Part Two

The Set

60 – 90 minutes

A live set recorded at the same location as the interview. The music becomes a reflection of the conversation and the space around it. Every set is cinematic, filmed in a place that genuinely means something to the artist. Whether it's stripped-back, high-energy, or a sound you don't usually get to hear from them, the set reveals another layer of who they are as an artist and a person.

The Vision

Cinematic. Intimate. Unforgettable.

We hold ourselves to the highest standard of production. Think Cercle-level cinematography — breathtaking locations, multi-camera setups, drone footage — applied to a format that puts the artist's story at the center.

Argy at Jungfraujoch, Swiss Alps — the production standard we aspire to.

DJ 310 at Sunset Cliffs

Episode 01

DJ 310

Sunset Cliffs, San Diego, CA

"I've played rooms with 5,000 people and felt completely alone. This was 12 people on a cliff at sunset and it was the most connected I've ever felt behind the decks."

We found DJ 310 through a mutual friend who described him simply as "the best DJ nobody's heard of." He'd been a fixture in the San Diego underground for six years, building a loyal following across warehouse events and beach bonfires, quietly honing a sound that blended deep house, world music, and something entirely his own.

For the interview, we walked the length of Sunset Cliffs as the sun started to fall. Just the two of us moving along the water's edge, conversation flowing the way it only does when nobody's sitting still. He talked about his childhood in Tijuana, his mother's record collection, the night he almost quit music for good, and why he came back.

Then we walked over to his childhood home, a little bungalow perched over the cliff, his bedroom converted to a full studio, and he played for 90 minutes straight. No tracklist, no plan. Just the room where it all started, 12 of his best friends and everything he just shared with the world for the first time.

About us.

Founder & Producer

Miles Murray

Biggie Murray

Born and raised in Malibu, CA, Miles has been deep in the dance music world for over a decade, both behind the decks and in the crowd. He started DJing in college in 2016 and has since produced house music, spun at local venues, and hosted his own events. Music has been the driving force in his life ever since.

Miles has spent years inside the scene as a genuine participant, backstage at EDC and Insomniac events, in underground clubs across Europe, absorbing what dance music culture truly means at every level. His passion for people, relationships, and storytelling makes him a natural advocate for artists who deserve a platform as real as the music they create.

Dance music, to Miles, is fundamentally about connection: PLUR, no discrimination, love for the sound and the people who define it. Beyond the Decks is the natural extension of everything he believes in.

Host & Co-Founder

Quinn Ebben

Glass Halo

Born in Boston, MA, Quinn moved to New York City to pursue his obsession with dance music, and hasn't looked back. A producer for over eight years across multiple genres, a trip to Berlin in 2023 confirmed what he already suspected, electronic music is the future. He now produces House, Techno, and everything in between, and plays and promotes events across Brooklyn, including the House-focused People You May Know and the underground Techno party, Crave.

What makes Quinn unique is his range. From mainstream Manhattan House nights to underground queer Techno raves in Bushwick warehouses, he moves fluidly through every corner of the scene, an artistic chameleon who understands that great dance music has no single face.

His fascination with the stories behind these communities, and the glaring lack of great content being made about them, is exactly what drove him to help build Beyond the Decks.
