Jersey Shore<\/em> exploded in 2009 with a controversial premise and chaotic charm. But underneath the show\u2019s spray tans and parties was an endearing belief: family above all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Family drove the series to three seasons and many spin-offs. Now, that principle drives DJ Pauly D<\/a> as he launches his new record label, Blowout Beats.<\/p>\n

The DJ and reality TV star, whose real name is Paul DelVecchio, launched the label not to fund his patented hairstyle\u2014don\u2019t worry, his garage houses a lifetime supply\u2014but to actualize a longtime passion. He has been touring constantly since 2009, the year Jersey Shore<\/em> premiered. During that time, he\u2019s met countless underexposed artists.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m in a different state every day, and I see so much undiscovered talent all around the world,\u201d\u00a0DelVecchio\u00a0tells EDM.com<\/em>. \u201cWhy not be the guy to help those people get discovered? I want to put together an incredible team to help get them out there. I feel like the perfect avenue for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

He isn\u2019t exclusively scouting DJs. A family consists of different roles, and DelVecchio\u00a0has room to fill in his new home, from producers to writers and beyond. He is cultivating a specific culture at Blowout Beats, one that draws on his greatest strengths\u2014from the boardwalk to the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a lot of talent out there, but I like the ones with personality,\u201d he explains. \u201cI feel I do that with my DJing as well. I bring the personality along with the talent. That\u2019s what I\u2019m looking for.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe put our personality into everything we do: our clothes, our hairstyle, everything. The DJ should do that too. I DJ to the crowd. I feed off their energy. They’re putting on a show for me, too. We work together as a team to create that vibe.\u201d<\/p>\n

DelVecchio\u00a0recently dropped \u201cWYD After,\u201d his first release since 2019\u2019s \u201cSilver and Gold.\u201d The song\u2019s release wasn\u2019t an impulse decision or strictly promotional material. It was his commitment to expanding his artistic footprint.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the first time I\u2019m saying this, but I will start creating music regularly,\u201d DelVecchio confirmed. \u201cIt\u2019s too much fun and I love it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Original music is an avenue\u00a0DelVecchio\u00a0neglected longer than planned. Electronic artists wear many hats: producing music, performing it live and touring. Added to that are his responsibilities of filming various reality shows\u2014Jersey Shore: Family Vacation<\/em> is in its eighth season\u2014and his other business ventures.<\/p>\n

\u201cWYD After\u201d reignited his passion for making music.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s nothing better than creating music. Having an idea, putting it together and playing it out feels like a full circle moment,\u201d\u00a0DelVecchio\u00a0said. \u201cI\u2019ve missed that. Bringing that back to my set is amazing. It\u2019s what my sets have been missing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reality television stars come and go, but few have parlayed their fame so fruitfully. The show\u2019s emphasis on partying offered a favorable segue for\u00a0DelVecchio, but celebrity only does so much without talent and drive.<\/p>\n

For him, the show was a commercial to advertise his pre-existing DJ career. He has a simple philosophy for anyone using his journey as a blueprint.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be afraid to go the extra mile,\u201d he advised. \u201cTake the initiative and do what you love on television. See if it translates after. It doesn\u2019t always, but for me it did.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s truly been a blessing being on a reality show. It allowed me to live out my dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

DelVecchio\u00a0and the\u00a0Jersey Shore<\/em>\u00a0cast walked into their Seaside Heights vacation home for the first time completely blind. The show\u2019s premise was obscure. He could not have predicted the show\u2019s success, let alone its life-altering domino effect, from DJing around the world to launching Blowout Beats.<\/p>\n

The show was not only a success, but it also influenced a generational lexicon. \u201cGTL,\u201d \u201ccome at me bro!\u201d and \u201csmushing\u201d are ingrained vocabulary for those who grew up on the show. To this date, people still yell, \u201cCabs are here!\u201d when they spot\u00a0DelVecchio.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the coolest thing,” he says. “There was never a script. No one told us how to talk. It was a reality show, so we were being ourselves. People picked up on it and thought it was strange or cool\u2026 <\/p>\n

\u201cFor it to be on t-shirts or for people to yell stuff out to me at airports, for it to still translate today is really cool. It\u2019s surreal. I never thought that would happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
