In The Round

In this episode of Outside the Round, host Matt Burrill welcomes Deerock, a New York-based DJ making serious noise in the country music scene. Known for his innovative blend of country and hip-hop, Deerock dives into his upbringing on Long Island, his early inspirations, and how exposure to southern party culture completely reshaped his sonic direction. He shares the origin story of his viral genre mashups and the creative mindset behind his growing brand Club Rodeo, a live party concept that brings together fans of country, rap, and high-energy dance music under one roof. The conversation explores the importance of risk-taking in today’s music landscape, Deerock’s evolution as a performer, and why genre boundaries are meant to be broken.
