Cheat Codes are following up their 2023 foray into country music, ‘One Night in Nashville,’ with a return to their dance-pop roots. In this exclusive commentary, the LA-based trio discusses the making of tracks from their new album, ‘Future Renaissance,’ which features unexpected collaborators, such as CeeLo Green (“Go to Hell”) and Kenny G (“More Than Anybody”). After layering a synthesized saxophone on the latter track, they reached out to the jazz crossover artist and he responded instantly with multiple takes. “The real, organically recorded instrument always makes a difference,” says Cheat Codes’ Matthew Russell. Listen now, only on SoundCloud.

In this installment of Sound Advice, we speak to house music DJ/producer D.O.D. After landing an Ibiza residency through a DJ competition in 2010, D.O.D went on to tour the world as an EDM artist.

He’s since created hits like “Still Sleepless,” “So Much In Love” and “Somedays,” a BRIT Award-nominated collaboration with Sonny Fodera and Jazzy.

In this exclusive interview, we talk to D.O.D about his career, from evolving his sound to honest reflections on how he maintains balance and creativity despite an in-demand schedule. Plus, hear tips on learning your craft, navigating today’s music industry, teasing tracks on SoundCloud and more.
