For this episode of Danny Rants, I sit down with Scott Commens, the man behind Subsonic Music Festival, to unpack the wild 18-year story of one of Australia’s most iconic bush doofs.

From how Subsonic first began and what inspired it, to bringing artists like Boris Brejcha and Jamie Jones into the Australian bush, Scott takes us behind the scenes of what it actually takes to build and keep a festival alive.

We talk bushfires, COVID, NSW Government regulation, almost going broke, the changing festival landscape and the moments where it looked like Subsonic might not survive.

But despite everything thrown at it, 18 years later Subsonic is still here.

This is the story of the people, the parties and the persistence behind one of Australia’s longest-running underground music festivals.

From growing up surrounded by music and trying to make it as a hip-hop artist, to reaching the point where he nearly gave it all away.

Then came another shot.

This week we get into the story of forming LMFAO, creating their sound, the early days before anyone knew who they were, and the insane rise that followed — Party Rock Anthem, Sexy and I Know It, global tours, massive festivals and becoming one of the biggest acts on the planet.

We also dive into his connection with Australia, the Melbourne Shuffle, Stereosonic and the Aussie dance scene during one of its biggest eras.

But what happens when that level of fame stops?

Redfoo talks about where LMFAO sits today, whether he'd ever do it again, and what his life looks like now away from the madness.

From struggling artist → giving up → LMFAO → global superstardom → life after Party Rock.

This is the story of Redfoo.
