Elohim has long been one of the most candid artists on the modern electro-pop scene, and our conversation on the show is no different. It's not my first time speaking with the producer-singer-songwriter, but it is our first time diving into her beautiful four-part EP series "Journey to the Center of Myself"—a must listen for anyone, I promise.

Rinzen is an old friend of mine, and it's a pleasure to crack his brilliant mind open on my show. He used to be a dance music journalist alongside myself, writing for Billboard Dance, then his music got signed by Deadmau5, and the rest is history he continues to write.

Today, we chat about the deep world-building that goes into his songwriting, how he crafts rich and multi-layered creations inspired by the world around him, and we get some advice for other artists coming up in the game.

Who is Heyz? It's not just a question, it's the name of this madman's first official EP, out now on Deadbeats. It's a mix of beauty and bass, and it does well to introduce Heyz to the world, but there's so much more to this dude than meets the ear.

In what must be one of the most colorful Kat Calls chats to date, Heyz tells us all about his traveling music hobo grandpa, the double edged sword that is going viral on TikTok, what in the world possessed him to put a gag on the cover of his debut EP and—once and for all—who Heyz really is!
