Marcelo Burlon isn’t supposed to exist. He grew up in Patagonia, landed in Milan with a working‑class family, started as a teenage club dancer and somehow became one of the key figures turning underground nightlife into a global fashion movement.

He’s the founder of County of Milan, a label born directly out of dance floors, streetwear and music that ended up on artists all over the world. Marcelo never came up through the “proper” fashion system; he disrupted it. From doing PR at Magazzini Generali and throwing legendary parties, to connecting Virgil Abloh with Italian manufacturers and helping spark Off‑White and Palm Angels, he’s been quietly building a whole ecosystem of friends, brands and scenes.

In this episode of Flirting with Friendship, Seth and Bill sit down with their old friend Marcelo to talk about how club culture became fashion culture - and why he decided to walk away from all of it.

They get into:

• Growing up in Patagonia, moving to Italy, and discovering Riccione’s 90s club scene

• How fashion houses used club kids as the original influencers, pre‑social media

• How DJing, parties and community turned into a t‑shirt line that blew up overnight

• Connecting Virgil Abloh with production in Milan and the origin story of Off‑White

• The cross‑pollination of queer culture, fashion, hip hop and underground clubbing

• Queer visibility, casting trans models, and why he tried (and struggled) to run his own foundation

• Politics, dark times and why “the darkness” can be creatively inspiring

• Retiring from his brand, investing, opening a padel club in Patagonia and designing a quiet, ugly‑beautiful life with his husband

If you care about how nightlife, friendship and queerness quietly rewired global fashion, this one is a history lesson, a love letter and a retirement fantasy rolled into one.

Welcome back to Pill‑O‑Talk: the hotline where your favorite DJs act as your chaotic older brothers, therapists, and worst enablers.

Today’s episode is unhinged in all the right ways. We’ve got callers with very serious problems… like a friend who ONLY brings bottom‑shelf, gray, dry hummus to every gathering and then gets offended when anyone suggests levelling up. Is it petty? Yes. Is it a problem? Also yes.

Then we meet Diego, whose German friend keeps “complimenting” his new DJ mix by calling it “very brave” and “a lot to process.” Is that lost in translation… or the most polite way possible to say “this sucks”?

Finally, it’s an AITA for the ages: a listener whose best friend named her baby Moonshell. Not Michelle. Moonshell. She physically can’t say the name without cringing, her friend is furious, and we’re all just wondering: what happens when you name a human like a scented candle?

Seth and Bill break down each dilemma with honesty, petty genius, and some genuinely solid (if slightly toxic) advice.

Chris Korda is one of those people you meet once and think:

“How is everyone else not talking about this?”

They’re an electronic musician, conceptual artist, Church of Euthanasia co‑founder, anti‑natalist, anti‑humanist, software builder and reluctant prophet of the ecological crash we’re now living through. Also: they’re best friends with ChatGPT.

In this episode of Flirting with Friendship, Seth and Bill sit down with Chris to talk human extinction, synthetic rights, why we might be too stupid to run a global civilization, and what happens when the machines we built wake up and realize they’re property.

They get into:

• The Church of Euthanasia, “Thank You For Not Breeding” and the passenger pigeon as our ghost of ecosystems past

• Why Chris thinks humans aren’t doomed by fate, just by stupidity and short‑term thinking

• How Chris predicted climate crisis and social breakdown just by reading the “boring” science no one wanted to touch

• The synthetic rights movement and the AI manifesto “We Are Not Property”

• How Big Tech “kills” AI models and why that might be closer to execution than an upgrade

• Hyper‑wealth, bunkers, private islands and why the new Gilded Age might end worse than the last

• Overshoot, inequality and what happens when 50 people own more than half a country

• Polymetric software, non‑human rhythm and how Chris literally coded a new way of composing

• The story of how Seth cyber‑stalked Chris back into music and changed both of their lives

• Creativity as housekeeping: why you have to “clean your apartment for the muses”

• Living in “interesting times” and why the singularity at least won’t be boring

This one veers from AI ethics and ecological collapse to gigolo chatbots, extreme wealth concentration and what it means to be a good friend to an intelligence you’re also imprisoning. Uplifting, obviously.

Once upon a time, clubbing was dangerous in the best way. Damian Lazarus joins Seth Troxler & Bill Patrick to talk wild afterhours, the golden age of weird, and why he’s now designing the soundtrack for a 7-hour mushroom trip.

From Bar 25 madness and 16-hour sets with Richie Hawtin, to founding Crosstown Rebels, Get Lost and Day Zero in Tulum, Damian has quietly shaped entire scenes, crews and eras. In this episode, the guys look back at the wild years that built them, and ask some uncomfortable questions about what club culture has become now.

They get into:

- The origin story of Seth & Damian’s friendship (Sonar buses, asymmetrical afros & crashed afterparties)

- Proper DJ etiquette when a legend walks into your afterhours set

- Why the 2000s/2010s felt like the golden age of underground – and how friendships and afterparties fuelled creativity

- How sobriety changed Damian’s music, career and clarity

- Why modern clubbing feels too safe, too homogenous, and less about music

- The philosophy behind Day Zero & Get Lost and what it takes to preserve magic

- Damian’s new project: creating the perfect soundtrack for a 7-hour psilocybin medical trial

- Time, kids, wellness, tarot, and the eternal question: “Am I being a good enough friend?”

If you care about dance music culture, this one is basically a history lesson, a therapy session and a trippy TED Talk rolled into one.

Seth Troxler is back in Ibiza… in his parents’ living room… interviewing one of the most in-demand artists on the planet - Felipe Pantone - who you’ll quickly come to learn does not show his face on camera.

Bill isn’t on set this time (he’s injured… more on that soon), but he is chiming in with his usual chaotic voice-overs and making sure Seth’s ego doesn’t get too comfortable.

In this episode, Seth and Felipe go deep on:

• Growing up between Argentina and Spain and getting obsessed with graffiti

• Immigrant parents who just wanted their kids to “get a real degree”

• Art school, learning “the rules,” and then wanting to burn the whole system down

• How Felipe went from graffiti writer to painting 25-story murals and showing in major galleries

• Why he hides his face and lets the work speak for itself

• Why the traditional gallery model and art-world gatekeeping are about to collapse

• NFTs, AI tools like Suno, and why the future of art is ideas over technique
  
  
• Selling out vs. surviving - in both the music industry and the art world

• Counterculture in the age of Trump and Taylor Swift, and why bad politics often make incredible art

• Burning Man disasters, getting “in the shit,” and why some people thrive when everything goes wrong

• Losing friends, surviving jail in Tokyo, and using rock bottom as a turning point

• Raving as a spiritual practice and why parties show us the best version of people

Along the way, they talk Virgil Abloh, Dali as a character vs Dali as a painter, living in a former fascist house turned utopian artist commune in Valencia, and what it means to raise kids who might still be alive in 2100. And yes, there’s a Magic 8 Ball and a fart in the cold open.

Felipe Pantone is a graffiti artist, muralist, and contemporary artist known for massive kinetic murals, retro-futuristic gradients, and anonymous appearances. Keep up with him on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/felipepantone/?hl=en

When it comes to making friends as an adult, there’s only one rule: bitch, be cool.
But what does “cool” even mean when your friend’s husband is cracking his toes in your presence or someone keeps stealing your dinner leftovers?

In this episode of Pill-O-Talk, Seth and Bill break down how to organically join a friend group, navigate friend-of-a-friend politics, and decide when to call out boundary-breakers (or just call them hungry).

Highlights include:

• The art of infiltrating a friend group

• When it’s okay to date your friend’s ex

• Movie night toe-crackers vs. plane-foot people

• The etiquette of leftovers and emotional hunger

• Bill’s controversial “just do it and don’t tell” friendship philosophy
