This week's guest is COPYCATT an Aussie legend in the electronic music scene. In this ripper of a podcast episode, we kick things off with a classic coffee blunder that left COPYCATT with more than just a caffeine buzz. This bloke's tales from the Down Under music scene are as intriguing as they come, complete with a gander at his accidental fame from remixing a tune for a kiddo's telly show.

But it's not all mucking about; we get down to the nitty-gritty of the Aussie music landscape, with COPYCATT spilling the beans on the sticky bits of making tunes and dealing with the bigwigs in the industry. He doesn't shy away from the tough topics, giving us the lowdown on the bittersweet relationship with Triple J and the hurdles of getting your tracks a fair go.

For the up-and-comers in the music game, COPYCATT dishes out some ace advice on cranking out bangers, from wrangling with synths to keeping your head when the industry gets rough as guts.

Now, hold onto your hats, 'cause we're also gabbing about the most Aussie thing ever: taking a whiz mid-gig. That's right, COPYCATT shares a fair dinkum tale about the art of the pee break during shows, proving he's a true-blue musician who knows the ins and outs of live performance – even when nature calls.

And because we're not here to fuck spiders, we also take a squiz beyond the decks and into COPYCATT's life outside the studio. From his first dodgy gig to the cultural quirks that shape Aussie music, this chat's chockers with insights and a fair shake of the sauce bottle on what it means to make music.

So if you're itching for a deep dive into the beats, banter, and the bloke behind the music, this episode's your ticket. Chuck on your best headphones, grab a cold one, and settle in for a chat with COPYCATT that's as enlightening as it is entertaining. No wuckas, mate!

This week's guest is MonkeyRascal. Known for his bold, genre-defying sound, MonkeyRascal shares the story behind his name and how it reflects his mischievous and playful approach to art. From his early experiences with psychedelics to his fascination with wonky, heavily swung drum grooves, he reveals the personal journey and creative process that shaped his unique style.

MonkeyRascal talks about his love for unconventional sounds, like crunchy, saturated drums and "crummy" samples, and how he balances experimentation with anchoring grooves to keep listeners engaged. We compare his music to Cubism, explaining how fragmented and refracted elements create a “hall of mirrors” effect in his tracks. From layering reverb tails to building unconventional grooves, he reveals how his unique approach to sound design makes his music both quirky and immersive.

The conversation touches on everything from the melancholy influence of Radiohead and Flying Lotus to the clever experimentalism of G Jones and Mr. Carmack. MonkeyRascal shares how negative space, tension, and unexpected drops add emotional depth to his music, making it perfect for dance battles and headphone sessions alike. He also reflects on live performances, the evolution of bass music, and the delicate balance between chaos and structure in electronic production.

House of Beats Vol. 4: Curated by Cozycole.g

This week's guests are Keota and K.L.O In this episode, we break down how each of them got started with music—from Keota diving into electronic production at 15 “as a joke” to K.L.O's obsession with turntablism. They also share the story of their first performances, their biggest festival inspirations (like that legendary infrasound “swamp” year), and the gear and techniques that define their signature sounds.

We get candid about the music industry, talking pay transparency, headliner vs. opener fees, and how Keota once organized a show where everyone anonymously voted on how to split the entire budget. K.L.O updates us on his longtime collaborator Mike (Osmetic) from Colony Productions—who’s currently recovering from a serious medical procedure—and how their community is coming together to support him.

Minneapolis-born, LA-based producer Shrimpnose joins Poducer for a raw, emotional, and hilariously insightful deep-dive into his music, life, and creative journey.

We talk:

Shrimpnose: How Music, Memory & Emotion Shape Every Beat

In this episode, we sit down with Chicago artist Boy Maj, fresh off the release of his album PREMIUM VIBES Vol. 1. We go deep on what it means to create PREMIUM VIBES—not just as an album title, but as a mindset. From his roots playing French horn to building immersive live shows, Maj shares what it takes to be intentional with your art in a world full of distractions.

We also get into what it’s like working behind the scenes at Shure, helping shape the way creators interact with technology, and how storytelling, design, and community all play a part in making something truly premium. Whether it's crafting a music release, building a brand experience, or just vibing with friends, Maj brings a thoughtful approach to everything he does. This one was a joy to record—tune in and enjoy the ride.

In this episode of Poducer, we reconnect with Chef Boyarbeatz for a high-energy, insightful convo about the ups and downs of the touring life, creative evolution, and the state of underground bass music. Chef reflects on how he got his start, switching from house parties and hip-hop sets to becoming a Red Rocks performer, even with a snowstorm pushing back his debut.

We dive into the making of his collab with Combine, his love for drum & bass, and how he’s balancing day jobs, teaching, and planning his first full-length album. Along the way, we talk about production schools like Icon Collective, festival crowds, the challenges facing smaller promoters, and what sustainability really looks like for working artists.

We dive into their early influences (from Madlib to Cord Marauders and Soulection), the art of instrumental storytelling, and the creative ethos behind their legendary “Morning Coffee” mix series. They also break down side projects like Hoodie Weather and Groove Sauce, and reflect on formative live shows — from Shambhala to Tipper & Friends.

The Wild Story Behind Porn & Chicken

In this episode of Poducer, we sit down with Artie Do Good — a genre-bending producer, trombonist, educator, and storyteller who fuses live jazz instrumentation with electronic music and deeply rooted political themes.

From his early days throwing ska shows in Kenosha to composing orchestral works in NYC, Artie walks us through his evolution as an artist, educator, and community builder. We dig into the influence of Chicago’s DIY scene, the impact of labor movements and socialist philosophy on his music, and the creative process behind his powerful album Socialist Dance Party.

We also explore the intersection of soulful composition and beat production, his dual life as a teacher and performer, and the growing movement of emotionally intelligent masculinity (aka himboism). Plus, he shares unreleased tracks, stories of musical mentorship, and memories of transformative shows like D’Angelo at Afropunk.

In this collaboration episode of Poducer with NSW, we connect with genre-warping UK producer Sam Binga — known for pushing the boundaries of club music with raw textures, cheeky edits, and forward-thinking sound design. From his early days in Bristol’s drum & bass scene to becoming a global force in hybrid electronic music, Binga shares the creative mindset and community ethos that have shaped his path.

We dig into his evolution as an artist, his approach to collaboration (with names like Nikki Nair, Addison Groove, and Bianca Oblivion), and why he's more interested in vibe than perfection. Binga talks honestly about the current state of gig culture, the pressure of staying relevant on social media, and how he balances underground respect with broader recognition. He also shares the story behind Pineapple Records, his outlet for fun, functional, and distinctly weird club tools — and how it’s become a space for artists to explore sound without overthinking.

Artie Do Good dives into the philosophy of himboism, exploring the rise of emotionally intelligent masculinity in modern culture. From Dragon Ball Z's Goku to Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, we break down the core traits of the modern himbo: strength, kindness, and a blissful lack of ego.

Artie shares how working with kids in the age of Andrew Tate has influenced his perspective on masculinity, and why he’s embracing the “himbo” identity as a way to promote compassion, vulnerability, and self-awareness. We also touch on the need to shatter outdated gender norms, and how big-hearted energy just might help save the world.
