Episode 6: Steve Levy (Clanger Digital, Imagine Music Festival, Moonshine Music)

Mastering Events: An Audience Republic Podcast

Steve Levy is the CEO of Clanger Digital and Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Revenue Officer for Imagine Music Festival.

It’s difficult to sum up the depth and breadth of Steve’s career, but here are a few dot points: in the late-'80s Steve was one of the pioneers of the underground rave scene in LA, promoting shows and holding raves in abandoned warehouses all the while evading the reach of the local police.

He went on to co-found Moonshine Music in 1992, the label that effectively introduced electronic music to mainstream America, and later launched Moonshine Over America, at that point the only annual, national electronic music tour in the US.

In the years since he’s occupied roles such as Head of Marketing and Digital at Insomniac Events, Chief Marketing Officer at Virgin Fests, North American General Manager at Festicket – and that’s just for starters.

Steve offers a feast of event marketing insights drawn from his decades of experience – not to mention some great stories about dealing with the police during the birth of the underground rave scene in LA!
