Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard3 Sep 2025

Mark Ronson Returns

Mark Ronson (Night People: How to be a DJ in 90s New York City) is a Grammy and Academy Award-winning producer, songwriter, and DJ. Mark returns to Armchair Expert to discuss feeling the full circle moment returning to vinyl after coming up as a DJ in the 90s, the tangible difference between experiencing the sounds of records versus digital media, and not playing his own records because he wants to earn the crowd on merit. Mark and Dax talk about having a vague memory of Robin Williams waking him up as a child during one of his parents’ parties, launching soggies from the 10th floor with Michael Jackson, and the lovely memory he created playing Wonderful Tonight during his mom and stepdad’s wedding. Mark explains gigging at the holy love child of Broadway camp and total Times Square sleaze, the breakthrough moment he changed everything by mixing Biggie’s The Benjamins with ACDC’s Back in Black, and being so grateful he developed his craft in the era where you had to physically hunt down records to sample.
