The #bassmusic industry’s business model is stealing from #producers

Most labels don’t make money from hits, they profit from fails. They sign mid-tier #musicproducers, upcharge them for mastering n branding, and then duck payouts claiming they havent “recouped”.

Be careful who you work with. #edm

Every great artist learns from those who came before them. Dive deep into the catalogs of #dubstep pioneers, #drum&bass innovators, or hip-hop #beatmaking legends. Understanding their techniques can inspire your own creative breakthroughs.

More clips from our boy Quack Daddy's set at the Sausage Castle last weekend. Mid set a guy with a lamp shade on his head pulled up on a motorized couch and started doing donuts in front of the stage. Was a crazy moment.

Be vulnerable.
Don’t be afraid to show your struggles, doubts, or imperfections. Vulnerability makes your music relatable and builds deeper connections with your audience, showing them the real you.
