Description
<p>In Episode 9 of our Artist Spotlight, we sit down with future bass/trap legend Abe Laguna (aka OOKAY) to dive into the track that changed everything—“Thief.”</p><p>Believe it or not, the song was rejected by four labels before becoming an unexpected wedding anthem. We also dove into the revival of future bass , the direction of Ookay's new album, why dance music always moves in cycles, and Skrillex’s recent copyright controversy. Ookay also shares a preview of unreleased tracks, including some nostalgic future bass magic. The conversation takes us through AI’s growing role in dance music, the evolution of the culture, and why strong songwriting still matters more than ever.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you’ve been missing that 2015 future bass energy, you’re in for a treat you won't get anywhere else! Be sure to tune into this one and we hope you enjoy!! 🩵</p><p><br /></p><p>FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:I'M PEAKING PodcastInstagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/impeakingpod/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/impeakingpod/</a>TikTok - <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@impeakingpod" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.tiktok.com/@impeakingpod</a>Facebook - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/impeaking" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/impeaking</a>Devin LarscheidYouTube -<a href=" https://www.youtube.com/@devinlarscheid" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> https://www.youtube.com/@devinlarscheid</a>Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/devinlarscheid/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/devinlarscheid/</a>TikTok - <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@devinlarscheid" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.tiktok.com/@devinlarscheid</a>Facebook - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/indevinitely" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/indevinitely</a>Threads -<a href=" https://www.threads.net/@devinlarscheid" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> https://www.threads.net/@devinlarscheid</a>Mickie Santos (aka Wonderli)YouTube - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtcLLsKZiC0c1pEyHF5PpuQ" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtcLLsKZiC0c1pEyHF5PpuQ</a>Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_wonderli/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/_wonderli/</a>TikTok - <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@.wonderli" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.tiktok.com/@.wonderli</a>Nand MahasuwanYouTube - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw0h80t2rgdz_hp4kmyCN2g" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw0h80t2rgdz_hp4kmyCN2g</a>Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nandmahasuwan/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/nandmahasuwan/</a>TikTok -<a href=" https://www.tiktok.com/@nand.the.rave.dad" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> https://www.tiktok.com/@nand.the.rave.dad</a>Facebook - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nandtheravedad" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/nandtheravedad</a>Threads - <a href="https://www.threads.net/@nandmahasuwan" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.threads.net/@nandmahasuwan</a>Brinda Arreygue (aka Wavybrin)YouTube - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2gm04tPOrK_JZkjmIPR43w" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2gm04tPOrK_JZkjmIPR43w</a>Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wavybrin/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/wavybrin/</a>TikTok - <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@wavybrin" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.tiktok.com/@wavybrin</a>Facebook -<a href=" https://www.facebook.com/wavybrin" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> https://www.facebook.com/wavybrin</a>OOKAYYouTube -<a href=" https://www.youtube.com/@Ookaymusic" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> https://www.youtube.com/@Ookaymusic</a>Spotify - <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/1HQGhla3VNj1dBmKTtVT2t" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://open.spotify.com/artist/1HQGhla3VNj1dBmKTtVT2t</a>SoundCloud - <a href="https://soundcloud.com/ookaymusic" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://soundcloud.com/ookaymusic</a>Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ookayx/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/ookayx/</a>TikTok - <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@ookayofficial" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.tiktok.com/@ookayofficial</a></p>
