In this episode of Poducer, recorded live at Summer’s End Smokeout, we sit down with Manic Focus. The genre-bending producer who has built a reputation on soulful beats, heavy grooves, and an unfiltered approach to storytelling through music.

From his first concert memories to the dynamics of working with his brother as both manager and creative partner, Manic Focus opens up about the honesty, trust, and tension that shape his art. We dive into his unique production style, how he avoids chasing trends by designing sounds with swing and swagger, and the lessons he’s learned from years of performing on stage.

He also speaks candidly about living with bipolar I, how music serves as his medicine, and why being open about mental health matters not only for himself but for the wider community of fans and artists. Along the way, we touch on his biggest live inspirations, creative rituals, and what it means to keep growing while staying true to your sound.

Summer's End Smokeout 2025: Manic Focus

In this episode of Poducer, we sit down with Charlie Heldman — Chicago-based artist, producer, and founder of Windy City Wavs, a grassroots music production collective dedicated to building community, fostering creativity, and supporting independent artists.

Charlie opens up about his journey from his early teenage band days to developing his own R&B-inspired sound — blending sweet lyrics with soulful, sexy beats. We explore his approach to growth as an artist, the role of collaboration in shaping his music, and how consistency and community feedback have fueled his development.

Beyond music, Charlie shares his perspective as a studying therapist, reflecting on mental health, empathy, and the importance of creating safe spaces for expression. He talks candidly about navigating self-doubt, learning to shift negative self-talk, and balancing passion with purpose.

In this episode of Poducer, we sit down with Zino B and Jimmy Bonks — producers, engineers, and co-founders of Channel Recording Company, a brand-new Chicago studio designed to feel like a living room while sounding world-class.

They share the story of transforming a raw warehouse into a fully treated space in Fort Knox Studios, complete with cedar diffusion walls, a 25×25 ft live room, and a glass-walled ISO booth big enough for a grand piano. We dive into their philosophy of hospitality-driven engineering, why “good sound should be the default,” and how creating a comfortable environment frees artists to focus on making their best music.

Beyond the technical build, Zino B and Jimmy reflect on their paths through the Chicago scene — from Joyride sessions with legends like Buddy Guy to Grammy-nominated projects, to building a community hub where artistry, collaboration, and care come first. They also tackle big topics like AI in music, the importance of “first listeners” in mastering, and how true fans sustain independent art.

The Remedy Ep 413 October 18th, 2025

Dylan Verse:

Strike a solar beam, from a sunny day
Make a hurricane, from a gust of wind
Back to the basics, simply elated
sucker punched from a foul play
got a koffing using smog on me, hit me like a toxic from weezing
found a dank oddish, route 110
used absorb the poison-powder in
felt lifted in a old vibration
changing lands like new generations
confusion them, like a shadow hypno
Future sight, like a metagross

Chorus:

Dylan and Mike, yea that's who we are
We bring the beats down to you, so you can act real bizarre 
When we start to make it out the show, we keep the vibes up high, and have the bass real low
Don't stop, until you're in the zone I tell ya
Don't stop, until you lose control
Dylan and Mike, yea that's who we are
We bring the beats down to you, so you can act real bizarre

Mike Verse:

Comet punch ya like a hitmonchan!
I’ll beat ya whether on sand or land  
All these day I’m making these bands
From defeating trainers who wanna just stand
Until you make eye contact
Then you know be solid as a rock
Like a Golem
This is missingno’s songs of the solemn
I be marching to the beat of my own drum
Leaving these mount moon rockets in the slums
I hit ya real hot like a Muk’s toxic
Gotta gang of grimers that got fists to box it ___out
You’ll be gasping for death as you take your last breath 
From the kiss of a Jynx
Electrified by the waves of my Shinx
         HOW WUDE ,  YOUSA THINK, like Jar Jar Binks

Chorus:

Dylan and Mike, yea that's who we are
We bring the beats down to you, so you can act real bizarre 
When we start to make it out the show, we keep the vibes up high, and have the bass real low
Don't stop, until you're in the zone I tell ya
Don't stop, until you lose control
Dylan and Mike, yea that's who we are
We bring the beats down to you, so you can act real bizarre

Mike (Outro):

When you’re hit by the stench of my Skuntank
Gloom to Vileplume the scent is so dank
Ya wanna take the bullet train to Goldenrod City
Try to escape, but you can’t get rid of me!
I’m Michael in the zone
Like mega alakazam
Onix smacks ya with a slam
Explosion & KABLAAM
Like green eggs and ham
From an eggsecute & lechonk
Chillin & passion on the side of the riverbonk
Gotcha in a firm grasp like an Aipom
Dragonite hyperbeaming dat napalm
Dylan & Mike you know we make
A camelrupt
When you see us at the show
The we’re bound to fill your cup
