East Chicago, United States
Below the Surface Podcast & The Slaughterhouse DJs
The Sound of the Underground, Rooted in the Midwest.
Below the Surface is more than just a media platform—it is a cultural archive and a formal LLC dedicated to the raw, unfiltered essence of Midwest hip hop and house music. Founded and led by DJ Rick Rock, the brand serves as a bridge between the grit of the streets and the precision of professional media production.
Operating under the banner of the legendary Slaughterhouse DJs, DJ Rick Rock brings decades of cultural immersion and a deep respect for "street code" to the turntables. Based in the industrial heart of East Chicago, Indiana, the mission is clear: to amplify the talent that often goes overlooked and to preserve the sonic history of the region through physical and digital media.
