Flirting with Friendship

• Sound Master George Stavro on The Lost Art of Volume

  Sound legend George Stavro (founder of Sonic Lab Audio; longtime Integral Sound partner) joins Seth & Bill to break down why modern clubbing feels so 2D, how DJs started mixing with their eyes instead of their ears, and what actually happens when you slam everything into the red (clipping). We dig into iconic rooms (Twilo, Vinyl/Sound Factory, Cocoon, Womb, DC10, Stereo), the “original edgers” of marathon DJ sets, and the lost art of volume control and programming. If you’ve ever wondered why some nights feel euphoric without melting your face off…this episode is your masterclass.Guest: George Stavro — Sonic Lab Audio / Integral Sound. Renowned for large-scale dance music installs and festival systems, with work spanning clubs like DC10 (Ibiza) and Cocoon (Frankfurt).Quick hitsFocused, circular dance floors vs. forward-facing “phone era” crowdsWhy meters ≠ loudness (voltage vs. perceived level)Clipping 101: why “louder” often means “worse”The Yuri/Rane era: mixing by ear, not by waveformHow sound teams and DJs collaborate (or fight) in the boothVolume as tension: building crescendos without fatigueLong sets, patience, and why we don’t get those eruptions anymoreHosts: Seth Troxler and Bill PatrickExecutive Producers: Nikita Stanley, Jesse Rogg, Craig Pettigrew and Seth Troxler Co-executive Producer: Lee AdamsLive Production Director and VFX & Motion Graphics Supervisor: Aaron Kulik Director of Photography: Lukas Strebel Set Designer: Veronica Gessa (aka Moki) Editor: Tyler ChristieSound Design and Original Composition by Jasper Van DijkMusic Supervisors: Seth Troxler, Bill PatrickMusic Consultants: Jenna Wilson for Radish and James Cartwright for Bad SneakersMusic Courtesy of: APMCamera operator: Joseph Holton Camera assistant: Jake SmithProduction Sound Mixer: Jo Youle
