About Like A Muse: Madonna Remixes Culture

About

From the producer of the top 1% globally ranked Club KERRY NYC (CKNYC) podcast, Kerry John Poynter presents: Like A Muse - Madonna Remixes Culture. Title borrows from the lyrics of Like A Prayer: "Just like a muse to me, ... you are not what you seem, just like a prayer, your voice can take me there!"

The podcast aims in part to honor and document the international subculture of remixing Madonna's songbook. This is accomplished in part by interviews with remixers & producers that have Madonna as a muse. Content includes behind the remix interviews, DJ continuous mixes, exclusive remix premiers, & beat synced visualizers. The podcast launched in early 2023, debuted at #19 on the U.S. iTunes Music Commentary Chart, and boasts top 100 rankings in multiple countries (Media Kit) on every continent. It’s beginnings trace back to 2022 when the CKNYC podcast spawned a test run of 14 episodes for Madonna Remixers United. A new feed would be born.

Listeners rave about the podcast's high-quality production and compelling storytelling, citing the "iconic" Dubtronic episode, the “In Remembrance” episode to trailblazer remixer Idaho, who passed in 2022, and the emotionally resonant “Cleo Nasser” episode (few Women in the industry, overcoming personal tragedies) as highlights. The "Mashed Potatoes” mashups series and the "Heartbreak Beats" episode, are praised for their masterful remixes and creative tributes. Many reviewers also express their enjoyment of the accompanying visualizers, enhancing the overall listening experience.

Audio Engineer, Podcast Producer and Host

Kerry John Poynter is a classically trained musician from an early age of 10. He mastered the Clarinet and trained is vocal abilities in various musicals and as a music major in college at Ball State University. He received high honors through college as a music major in an electronic music technology program. However, he ultimately found a calling in education and decided to pursue a successful career in higher education administration. He was one of few professionals in the late 90's to spearhead services and educational program for LGBTQIA+ young adults in college. Awarded for his efforts by Duke University, Western Michigan University, and by student leaders at the University of Illinois Springfield. Music was still his 2nd love, especially electronic music, remix dance sounds, and students at Duke University coined the term "it's club Kerry" as these sounds proliferated continuously in the office.

Experimenting with podcasting as a very early adopter in January of 2009, his first podcast named Club Kerry NYC was born. Sharing DJ continuous sets to uplift sounds and artists from the underground electronic vocal house community. His musical and creative outlet became something more than just a hobby. In 2022, he offered CKNYC, now a top 1% ranked podcast globally (Listen Score) and numerous other accolades, to Madonna Remixers United to test run what would become 14 episodes (two podcasts on one feed). Like A Muse: Madonna Remixes spawned from CKNYC in 2023 and has since charted across the globe in the top 100 (often top 10) podcast charts in music and music interview categories. Kerry decided to return to his first love and earned an audio technology degree (audio engineering) from SAE Institute NYC in 2023. He graduate with "highest honors", a distinction that a select few achieved. Nominated for a 50 Over 50 Podcast Award in 2025.
