- EPISODE OVERVIEW

In this episode of Behind The DAW, we sit down with Pixel Terror—a high-octane electronic act known for genre-bending drops and festival-shaking energy—to talk about something few producers ever dare to: addiction, ego, and the brutal path to personal and creative clarity.

This isn’t just another convo about mixing tricks or social media hacks. This is a raw, behind-the-scenes look at what nearly destroyed his career—and what ultimately rebuilt it from the ground up.

Together, we break down:

- Why ego is the silent killer of creative potential—and how it almost ended everything.

- How sobriety became the ultimate music production superpower (and why no one’s talking about it).

- What it’s really like to go from duo to solo—and how that shift forced a total identity reset.

- How to stay clear-headed, focused, and creatively inspired in an industry that glorifies chaos.

- The mental and emotional rewiring it takes to produce at a high level, stay consistent, and thrive long-term.

- Whether you’re questioning your habits, battling burnout, or just want to know what it really takes to survive (and win) in this industry—this episode will give you the hard truths and hidden tools most producers never hear.
