From the Irish underground to Coachella and the Las Vegas Sphere, DJ and producer Rebūke has taken his sound around the world. His 2018 breakthrough, “Along Came Polly”, topped the Beatport chart, while collaborations with Anyma on “Syren” and deadmau5 on “Endless” have added to an impressive career.
This week, Greg sits down with Rebūke, aka Reuben Keeney, to talk about where it all began: his early love of music, finding his own sound, and the breakthrough that helped him make his name on the international scene.
He also shares a fascinating story about one of his biggest early influences later asking him to produce a track. It sounds like the opportunity any young producer would dream of—but creative differences led him to respectfully decline. We discuss what it means to trust your own judgement, even when the person on the other side of the conversation helped inspire you in the first place.
And despite everything he’s achieved, Rebūke is already planning to take a step back. We explore his thinking, how his priorities are changing, and what he wants from the next chapter.
A candid conversation about making your name, staying true to your music, and deciding what success means to you.
