Maverick: Australian Music Mogul and Modular founder Steve "Pav" Pavlovic

Maverick: Beatie Wolfe interviews Steve “Pav” Pavlovic, Australian music entrepreneur and Modular founder about being a maverick (and rogue) in the music industry. Listen to this dublab radio show that takes you from escaping The Can to taking over the Sydney Opera House via the power of DIY. 

Orange Juice for the Ears with “musical weirdo and visionary” (Vice) Beatie Wolfe explores the power of music across Space, Science, Art, Health, Film & Technology by talking to the leading luminaries in each field from Nobel Prize winners to multi-platinum producers and hearing the music that has most impacted them, their “Orange Juice for the Ears”. Beatie Wolfe is an artist who has beamed her music into space, been appointed a UN Women role model for innovation and held an acclaimed solo exhibition at the V&A Museum.

Pav’s Orange Juice for the Ears

  • First song that imprinted? “Mama Weer All Crazee Now” by Slade

  • First album that shaped who you are? Aladdin Sane by David Bowie - play track “Aladdin Sane” 

  • The music you would send into Space? “Says” by Nils Frahm (from Spaces)

  • The song you would have at your memorial? “Seabird” by Alessi Brothers

  • The album you would pass onto your kids? XX by The XX - play track “Islands” 

The show opens with “Hey! What’s Your Name” by Coloured Balls, a track Beatie Wolfe most associates with Pav because of him introducing her to the Sharpies subculture in Australian. 

This show first aired live on LA’s dublab radio. The podcast was mastered by Dean Hovey. For rights reasons, the music in this podcast version is shorter than in the original broadcast.
