In this episode, we dive deep into the world of house music production, the release process, and the evolving DJ culture. As always, we keep it real and unfiltered, just like the beats that move us.
We start by breaking down Danny Velz debut release track, sharing insights into the mixing and mastering process. We discuss the delicate balance of not overproducing, and the importance of preserving the unique sound that makes a track stand out. We also share tips on how to get your music on social and streaming platforms, including Spotify playlists, through platforms like United Masters.
Next, we get into the nitty-gritty of collaborating on a track together. We discuss how we plan to work with samples and the arrangement to create a one-of-a-kind track that pushes boundaries and defies genre labels.
We also take a moment to appreciate the art of sampling in house music, drawing inspiration from Joeski's track "Dia de Ayer," where he sampled Hector Lavoe. We discuss the creativity and skill involved in reinterpreting and repurposing musical elements to create something fresh and original.
Shifting gears, we delve into the business side of the industry, discussing the challenges and opportunities of building and selling your own music label. We explore the strategies employed by successful DJs, including how some make it big quickly while others fizzle out after one hit. We also debate the rise of Instagram and TikTok DJs, including female DJs who are making waves in the industry.
We then turn our attention to Gordo and his party Taraka, discussing how he has built a massive following and thrown legendary events despite being shunned by the underground scene. We ponder if he can break into the European and UK underground scene and what it takes to make a mark in the ever-evolving landscape of electronic music.
Finally, we share the challenges and importance of having a strong social media team member on your team, drawing inspiration from the success of Gray Area Events in NYC and beyond. We highlight the power of social media in promoting parties and connecting with fans in today's digital age.
Tune in as we share our raw and unfiltered perspectives on the house music scene, from production to promotion, and everything in between. Join us as we continue to push the boundaries of the genre and explore the ever-changing landscape of the underground music culture.
