Hey y’all, welcome to a special Xtras episode of the Dallas Famous Podcast! Today we’re sitting down with the minds behind DOPE Ellum — a creative force right in the heart of Deep Ellum. I’ve got Airto Castaneda-Cudney and Jon Day here with me.

DOPE Ellum isn’t just a space — it’s a whole vibe. From their legendary Social Thursdaze jam sessions to collabs that bring together music, art, video projects, and even game design, they’re building a real-deal playground for creatives. Whether you're tuning into a live stream or pulling up in person, it’s all about connection, collaboration, and community.

This week on the Dallas Famous Podcast, we’re joined by L 25 — a Dallas-based producer, DJ, and artist who’s building a body of work as bold as it is consistent. Releasing new music or videos on the 25th of every month, she’s creating space for women in electronic music while challenging the idea that production is a boys’ club.

She’s also the founder of Amplify-HER, a growing event series focused on connecting and supporting women producers and DJs in Dallas and beyond.

We talk about her creative process, how collaboration plays into her work, and the bigger vision she’s chasing through sound, visuals, and community.
