  • Chloé Caillet: From Raver Kid to Global Headliner (And How She Got There)

    Chloé Caillet: From Raver Kid to Global Headliner (And How She Got There)
    Nov 3 2026
    Chloé Caillet is everywhere right now - Coachella, Circoloco, Glastonbury, magazine covers - but this episode isn’t just another victory lap. It’s about what happens when the DJ dream actually comes true, and how you turn that momentum into something sustainable and creatively exciting. On this episode of Flirting with Friendship, Seth Troxler and Bill Patrick sit down with Chloé for a funny, honest and surprisingly uplifting conversation about reshaping your career from the inside out, stepping back from burnout, stepping into band culture again, and learning how to be present in a life that’s always in motion. They get into: - When nonstop touring quietly shifts from fantasy to “regular job”, and how she caught it before it broke her - The hotel‑room comedown, and the small rituals that keep her grounded on the road - Why she paused releases at peak momentum to reconnect with the music she really wants to make - Going from club tracks back to “real instruments,” bands and lyrics, and why that’s both terrifying and fun - How losing a dancefloor (and winning it back) can teach you more than any viral moment - The silent retreat that reset how she sees success, social media and her own brain - Why raving, live bands and actually being present might matter more than “playing the game” If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your head while things take off, or how to evolve without losing what you’ve built, this conversation will give you some food for thought.

  • Armin van Buuren: The Dark Side of Being Number One

    Armin van Buuren: The Dark Side of Being Number One
    Oct 20 2026
    Armin van Buuren is one of the most successful DJs to ever touch a pair of decks - five-time #1 DJ in the world, a 20+ year radio show, a label empire, sold-out festivals… and yet he’ll tell you the real story isn’t the trophies, it’s what he learned along the way. On this episode of Flirting with Friendship, Seth Troxler and Bill Patrick sit down with the trance legend for a surprisingly warm, funny, and honest chat about growing up in dance music and growing wiser inside it. They get into: - How you can have everything on paper and still feel empty, and what to do about it - Why his most expensive, worst‑streaming piano record might be the most important thing he’s ever made - Therapy in your 40s, keeping your ego in check, and not letting money corrupt your brain - The real difference between the DJ world and the “music industry” machine - Trance vs techno, “no genre is the genre,” and refusing to be a prisoner of your own style - Building a true community around A State of Trance, staying close to fans, and finding joy in smaller, more human shows If you love dance music, if you’ve ever felt stuck chasing your own idea of success, or you just want to hear Armin Van Buuren completely unfiltered and full of hard‑earned wisdom, this one’s for you. 🩵 Subscribe now to never miss a hang (or a slumber party!) https://www.youtube.com/@flirtingwithfriendship. 🫶 Looking for more ways to support your boys?

  • DJ Tennis on Friendship, Food, and 100 Years of Partying

    DJ Tennis on Friendship, Food, and 100 Years of Partying
    Feb 17 2026

    Before he was one of the most important DJs in the world, Manfredi “DJ Tennis” Romano was tour managing Henry Rollins, driving Discord bands across Europe for and sleeping on strangers’ couches.


    Then came late‑90s rave culture, Aphex Twin on TV at 3am and a realization: there was a different way to live with music.


    On this episode of Flirting with Friendship, Seth and Bill catch up with their longtime friend Manfredi to trace the whole arc: punk vans to DC‑10, Discord to Life and Death, and why he might actually be a better chef than DJ.


    They talk about:


    • Growing up Sicilian, complex genetics and complex food culture

    • Tour managing Black Flag-era Henry Rollins and DC post‑hardcore bands

    • Techno‑grunge, slacker energy and why new subcultures need new names

    • College degrees in computer science and geology and how they shaped his brain

    • Building scenes: why all great culture still comes from tiny crews of friends

    • Cooking daily, caring for people and how food and DJing are the same service

    • Munchie Town, future cookbooks and starting a deli with Seth in Ibiza

    • ADHD, storage units, retro phones, Pokemon, Labubu and compulsive collecting


    It’s part history lesson, part food show, part gear‑nerd hangout, and fully a love letter to the friendships and obsessions that keep you young - no matter how many years you’ve been professionally partying.
