In this episode of Poducer, we sit down with Die By The Sword to unpack the journey behind his music and creative process. The conversation dives into the inspiration for the name Die By The Sword and the personal philosophy behind it. We explore the intricacies of mixing and engineering tracks, the balance between simplicity and complexity in music production, and how festival culture influences the way we consume live music.

Beyond the technical side of music, we discuss reflections on artistic identity, balancing exposure with authenticity, and the evolving landscape of electronic music. DBTS shares insights about his upcoming releases, collaborations with prominent artists, and the visual storytelling behind his latest EP. Adding levity to the discussion are tangents about browsers, candy nostalgia, and even Lady, the podcast's canine co-host.
