One of the best podcasts I have ever listened to. Very helpful

been following Budi's work for a while now! his tips helped me so much with marketing my music and doing it myself!

Great episode. Some ideas like deep work are very interesting.

Thank you to Eonity and the talented artists of the original track for hosting this remix contest — I had a great time and learned lots! I chose to remix this track because I really loved the original. Hope you all enjoy!

LionX, Damn Dan & Chris Ponate - Modern Poetry [Heirēs Remix]

Who is Jaytech? It’s hard to know where to begin.

He started out as a classically trained pianist, entering and winning various competitions as a child before being introduced to the world of electronic music.

At age 16, he had his first vinyl release.

14 years later, he’s released 3 artist albums, toured the world, had releases on key labels, and worked with many different artists.

He’s one of my favorite producers, and due to that, this is one of my favorite episodes to date.

Dooqu - Oh Yeah

Welcome to Bad Computer.

The idea is to express my own musical taste through a unique approach to house music. 

In the choruses there's been a great focus on the offbeat rhythm of the track, rather than emphasising the 4/4 kick too much. I've used acoustic textures to give a sense of familiarity & sincerity to my composition; lighters, exhalations, keys etc. - I'm trying to evoke a scene in your mind with the soundscape.

TL&DR - Smoke to this.
