HoS 040: Nayme, Hyperaktivist, DJ TOOL (Mala Junta) - The Friends Of Friends Party That Turned A Living Example Of Diversity And Inclusion | Home Of Sound
- We welcome DJ Tool, Hyperaktivist and Nayme who together form the Berlinbased collective Mala Junta. Offering an escape and a safe bonding place for the German capital's queer scene, the group highlight the values of inclusivity, support, friendship and community, and feature a diverse music mix of the faster, funkier, grooving old school techno, effortlessly blended with psychedelic trance and breaks. Their ideals for family and community are further instilled by their strict limited capacity events, making Mala Junta one of Berlin’s best kept rave secrets.
- In this chat with Nayme, Ana Laura (Hyperaktivist) and Jo-Jo (DJ TOOL) we found out how the three bonded together and became friends well beyond the dancefloor and the events they have been organizing. We explore what it takes to embody and support diversity and inclusion and how dealing with challenging situations is an opportunity to lead by example. We address why we should all be talking openly about hard problems, and - between a few wine glasses and a laugh - we remind ourselves that there is something we all need now more than ever: more humanity, music and connection with each other.

HoS 039: Inhalt Der Nacht - Record Labels As Platform To Nurture Artists, Between Techno And A Theatre Score In Cuba | Home Of Sound
- Christoph Heinze, better known as Inhalt der Nacht joins us for our next exclusive Home of Sound podcast. Berlin-born, his sound has been shaped by influences from cold wave and new wave, blended seamlessly with elements of the rock music that he was exposed to in his younger days. Having already established his name as one of the most progressive DJ’s in his genre, Christoph has pioneered his own label: Lebendig from which he pushes fellow Dj’s and artists’ productions alongside his own. 2019 saw Christoph’s track “Dosis'' spread through the underground scene of Berlin like wildfire after it appeared on the compilation album “The World of Monom Black” put out by the illustrious Dax J and his eponymous label . Christoph’s eminence nowadays has granted him residency to some of the biggest clubs across Germany including Griessmühle Berlin, Khidi Tbilisi and Rote Sonne Munich
- In this chat Christoph talks us through his experiences playing and producing techno and also his experimental explorations with theatre scoring in Cuba and eventually in Germany. We delve into Christoph’s past, recounting his first experiences with the underground scene as well the music that influenced him and provided the foundations to his raw and unbound resonate that we know today. We also look at labels and how artists are nurtured around them, and we get first hand insight into how he became resident of Rote Sonne, Griessemhule and Khidi and get a sense of the ever evolving drive of this artist toward fresh and non conventional sounds.

HoS 038: Electric Indigo - Three Decades Of Electronic Music, female:pressure And Bringing Gender Balance In Line-Ups | Home Of Sound
- Electric Indigo is a longstanding DJ, producer, composer and musician who started her path into the electronic scene in the early 90s and has since played in over 40 countries around the world. Aside from a long string of releases and gigs under her belt, Electric Indigo is also the founder of female:pressure, an international support network and online database for female, non-binary and non conforming gender artists. Her music and contribution has earned her wide and deep respect from the international music scene that has taken her to play in a long list of well established clubs as well as winning awards such as the “outstanding artist award Musik 2012” and the Kunstpreis Musik 2020 from The Republic of Austria.
- In this chat, we discover the artists early entry point into the techno scene, as she fortuitously interviewed Underground Resistance members, her work at iconic vinyl store Hardwax in Berlin in the early 90s and her experience running a label and playing throughout three decades. We also find out more about female:pressure and their research project “FACTS survey” which quantifies gender composition of music festivals and events line-ups since 2012. We discuss about the many challenges that non-male, non-white artists may face when working in the music industry, and we leave inspired by Electric Indigo’s take on tackling these challenges with open communication and joint committment with artists, promoters and music lovers.

HoS 035: Gabber Eleganza - Hardcore and Gabber: The Early Scene And Shifting Today’s Perception, No Walls In Music | Home Of Sound Welcome to our latest guest Alberto Guerrini, known as the powerhous
- Welcome to our latest guest Alberto Guerrini, known as the powerhouse Gabber Eleganza. DJ, Producer and all-round creator, Alberto started Gabber Eleganza by blogging and reporting about Hardcore and the Rave Culture of the 90s that had engulfed through his teenage years. Fast forward to present-day and Alberto finds himself running his own imprint “Never Sleep” as well as “The Hakke Show”, a performance that has already graced a long list of events such as Berghain, Horst Arts festival and Rye Wax to name a few.
- In this podcast we discuss the beginning of the first Italian hardcore events as well as the Italian rave scene from strongholds Rome to Bergamo. We discover Gabber Eleganza’s main aim that has taken the gabber culture into very different contexts: shifting public perception of hardcore by offering a different and closer perspective from the inside. We also hear of Alberto’s story and progress from the early days right to the lockdown obstacles, how he met and befriended Lorenzo Senni and Mino Luchena, and insight into his way of living the music he loves.

HoS 034: Julia & Terstin (Revive Festival) - Find Your DNA, Balancing What You Like And What People Love, How The Reset Created Space | Home Of Sound
- In this week’s podcast we are joined by Terstin and Julia; who are some of the key people behind Poland’s very own Revive Festival. Founded in 2017 by Terstin himself, Revive started as a small party of die-hard techno enthusiasts and ravers on the streets of Wroclaw, but over the years Revive has bloomed into one of the most internationally respected and esteemed events on the techno calendar. With success comes growth, and so Julia joined the Revive team in order to manage the booking side of things.
- In the podcast we delve into Terstin and Julia’s first connections with electronic music, their current and potential future plans for the festival and focussing on the positive sides of the world reset we’re currently experiencing. Julia also details her experience as a booker and with Terstin we touch on why the pandemic has created a golden opportunity for electronic music to flourish.

HoS 033: Jamaica Suk - Showing Up Every Day, Release Because You Like, Why Now We Can Find A Balance | Home Of Sound
- Jamaica Suk is a poly instrumentalist musician, performer, producer and DJ. Besides her residency of Pornceptual she also co-owns her label Gradient. Suk grew up in California and developed a passion for music from a very young age. Having studied piano, flute and bass, she worked as both a jazz and rock musician, before her adoration for electronic music took over and helped ignite her career as a DJ. In all the years she’s put in, Jamaica developed not only a profound relationship with music, but also an incredible work ethic that keeps her in the studio as well as on stage for 6 days a week.
- Jamaica describes her story from the early days with the music that influenced her career and led her to explore techno on a deeper and more personal level . Rome wasn’t built in a day, and as we see from her achievements, artists’ careers take continuous work and time to materialise. She also gives details on how she got involved in Pornceptual, her approach to deciding what music to release and how she is helping other musicians with 1:1 tutoring. Jamaica shines for her output and technical preparation, and if you continue listening till the end, Suk reveals her secret for continuing to be productive even when inspiration is nowhere to be found.

HoS 029: Sophia Saze - Writing Music To Embody Emotions, The Much Needed Reset, Becoming Comfortable With Your Own Choices | Home Of Sound
- Sophia Saze is an artist, performer, musician, producer, DJ and label owner of Dusk and Haze. Born in Georgia and having grown up in the US, her sonic DNA has been shaped by a range of experiences and cultures. Sophia started venturing in the field, with trip hop and house and eventually landed on planet techno, which became her artistic home. She continues to focus on crafting her production, often centred on field recordings and has been releasing music for Francis Harris’ Kingdoms and her own Dusk and Haze.
- In this chat, we talk about Sophia’s journey where commitment has been a constant factor throughout her studies, and jobs thereafter (we also learn about an unusual job offer by the Central Intelligence Agency!). The artist talks about the challenges of leaving a secure job to focus on music and overcoming pressure from people doubting your work. We chat about Dusk and Haze from before it became a label in 2017 to new plans, including supporting emerging producers access tools and resources. And while Sophia shares about her creative process and writing her album ‘Self’, we are reminded that music fundamentally is a work that feels amazing when it comes from the heart.

HoS 028: Lag - Finding Your Own Way, Passing Knowledge Forward To Support Others, The 2-hour Of Godness Of The DJ | Home Of Sound
- Lag is a Dj and very respected producer, who is strong in creating grooves and rhythms, often offbeat but still dancefloor oriented. His music has made regular appearances on labels such as Mord, Elements, THEM and lately Upperberry, plus a number of remixes on imprints such as Green Fetish Records, Coincidence Records and Metempsychosis Records. Beside being a strong producer and touring DJ, Lag is also an active supporter of up and coming producers with a Twitch live stream and series of feedback sessions.
- In this chat, we go deep into making offbeat music, why this may / may not work for everyone, and we explore the beginnings of ‘broken techno’. We talk about holding contrasting opinions with people and we also touch on the subjects of anxiety and depression. If this wasn’t enough for a single podcast (both Lag and I could talk forever!), we explore the natural narcissism that affects creators and the evergreen topic of finding fulfillment. In all of this, what strikes us is not only Lag’s preparation and strong passion for his craft, but also his capacity of not taking things too seriously.

HoS 027: Terr - We Need Music, Being There To Entertain, Creating Long Term Relationships And Support | Home Of Sound
- Daniela, in art Terr, is a producer, DJ and co-owner of the record label Clash Lion. Originally from Belo Horizonte (Brazil), she moved to Barcelona and lately Berlin to continue pursuing her artist vision. Terr is becoming a household name of the current dance music, with a string of releases on Phantasy Sound, Permanent Vacation, Correspondant, Hotflush, her own Clash Lion and even a remix for Tiga and Audion on Turbo.
- We chat with Daniela about her artistic path, going from being interested in Rock to honing her craft for Electronic, feeling home in Berlin and connecting with its artist community. As we discover the story behind founding Clash Lion alongside Shall Ocin and Daniel Watts, Terr shares her thoughts on how the friendship and working relationship with other record label owners and artists continuously helps her develop. Daniela’s decade-long work in the studio is the foundation for her progression, but it’s probably her capacity to read the crowd and empathise with people, which makes her so human and special.

HoS 026: Projekt Gestalten - Limitations Are Just A Perception, The Need To Conceptualise Your Work, Being Selective With Projects | Home Of Sound
Diego, in art Projekt Gestalten, is a DJ, producer, visual artist and founder of the VRAA Dj diva ranking and record label. Born in São Paulo, he experienced the freedom and creativity of Berlin and made this city his new home. One of the core members and DJ resident of the event series Pornceptual, Diego has been travelling the world to share his art and has played alongside Norman Nodge, Monoloc, Alienata, Jamaika Suk, The Lady Machine, Amanda Mussi and many others, including during a sweaty and intense Pornceptual X Boiler Room.
In this podcast, we chat about why artists should not work for free and rather be picky on where they get involved; we talk about electronic music and the queer community in Brazil; the origin of Projekt Gestalten. And we learn the story of Diego going from opening a giant fan on the dancefloor to creating a DJ diva ranking and record label. We also discuss about racism and homophobia and the ‘white privileges’ and why it is important to systematically address this very diffused issue. With this conversation, Diego’s work ethic and passion for arts, including visuals, bring to our attention the importance of spending the right energy into carving out our ideas into art.

- Julia Govor is a DJ, producer and the owner of record label Jujuka. Growing up in Russia’s military camps, her love for arts and music has always been a great travel companion and pushed her to shape her own career and life as a journalist and eventually as an international DJ.

Aside from her existing projects, Julia is also working for her label Jujuka, to release and give a stage to aspiring artists from ethnic minorities worldwide. She is a force of nature with very clear principles and vision and her words also remind us that letting things go is a tool that we can use to become who we want to be and conquer our own freedom.

HoS 024: PØLI, Lorenzo Raganzini (HEX) - Things Grow Faster Where You Put Your Focus, The Great Things Beyond Your Comfort Zone | Home Of Sound
In our chat, we get to know how they met each other and eventually bonded into a power-team; and we talk about why Georgia (and Georgians) are amazing. We discover HEX history from the beginning until now, their production schedule and upcoming projects, and their unexpected recent Boiler Room accident (see if you can spot this Easter Egg!). Aside from their charismatic energy and spirit, POLI and Lorenzo remind us that most of the great things we are all capable of doing, lie just beyond our comfort zone.

HoS 023: Insolate - How You Feel About Your Art Matters, Pushing The ‘Boundaries’ To Create Something Unique | Home Of Sound
- Insolate, is a Croatian Dj, producer, Out Of Place label owner and co-founder of event series TRAUM. She is one of the main voices of the underground music scene in Croatia and a very integrated artist in the international techno scene. Having a long list of releases under her belt, she has worked with the likes of Ben Sims, Matrixxman, Jamaica Suk, Developer, Electric Rescue, POLI and Lorenzo Raganzini and many more. At the core of her art, sit her personal drive and passion and willingness to continuously experiment.
- Her early influences track back to the rave and dance scene of the mid 1990s when Croatia was just recovering from the war with Yugoslavia. She discovered a variety of electronic music from cassettes and eventually started her own DJ journey in the late 90s. Around 2007, she also started producing and launched her own imprint Out Of Place in 2015 together with her partner in crime (and in life) Volster.
- In our chat, we talk about the importance of music in social interactions and Insolate tells us how emotions are the main driver for her creation and for approaching remixes and collaborations such as the work done spontaneously with singer Sara Renar. We also discuss how creators may want to keep pushing the boundaries and learn to produce art to fit their own taste and not exclusively that of others.

HoS 022: Toubba - The Sacred Ground Of Expression We Call Dancefloor, Trusting The Producer, Supporting Who You Believe In | Home Of Sound
- Karam, in art Toubba, is a Dubai based, multi faceted DJ, promoter, founder of a festival and director of a production company. As an active supporter of the international underground music scene, he is dedicated to crafting his communication skills in order to deliver his message of encouragement to the world. Karam really cares about - to quote him literally - the sacred ground of expression we call dancefloor.
- Being born in Turkey and later having moved to Dubai, Karam has always had a sweet spot for uncovering and being a positive influence for underground music movements. In the early 2000, he became an MC for hip hop battles and later a vocalist for Metal bands. His personal journey brought him to discover electronic music with drum and bass and landed him to the realm of techno, which is currently what occupies a special place in his heart.
- In our chat, Karam paints the picture of the not-so-known underground music movements in Dubai and tells us about the launch of the festival Rave Affair whose objective is to put the place’s music culture on the world map. He is also, resident of Rave Movement, music director of Decibel DXB, he runs a business on the side, but what he really aspires to do is grow as a DJ. Last but not least, Karam shares how - to be understood and connect truly with others - we may want to learn to freely express the emotions in our heart and combine this with a sharp use of words to ensure the message is delivered clearly .

HoS 021: CONCEPTUAL - Looking Inward To Find Inspiration, Collaboration Is The Way, Honesty | Home Of Sound
- CONCEPTUAL, stage name for Simone Scardino, is a DJ, producer and cofounder of the multi-art event platform Friendship Collective. Simone, who just released an album on Oscar Mulero’s Warm Up Records, shares how you may want to find inspiration by looking inward instead of looking for something outside of yourself.
- Originally from South Italy, he moved to Rome and eventually to Berlin to follow his burning passion for music. At a very young age, he was accidentally introduced to the art of djing by a wedding performer. From that very moment, Simone was hooked and got inspired to start djing himself and later producing music as well.
- Driven by a strong willingness to represent and create spaces where multiple arts can blend together, Simone has been part of numerous projects and co-founded Friendship Collective, a multidisciplinary event that brings together music, visual arts and performances. In this chat, we talk about collaborations, being selective in sending demos, shaping your own musical direction and - as we get to know Simone’s path - discover one of his strongest values: being honest in any situation.

HoS 020: Jason Grishkoff (SubmitHub) - Persistence Is Key And Throwing Spaghetti To The Wall, Why Hiring Friends May Not Be A Good Idea | Home Of Sound
- Jason is a South African / American entrepreneur and music lover. He founded his own music blog Indieshuffle and later SubmitHub, a platform connecting bloggers and playlist curators directly with artists and labels. His persistence led him to eventually be able to make his passion for music a full time business, while providing value to the music and media community.
- After years of running a music blog and reviewing releases, events, concerts as a side hustle, while working a normal 9-5 job, Jason landed a ‘big deal’ with a media company that helped him build a team of developers to scale the platform. Unfortunately, life went sideways when the big deal fell through and the media company went off business. Jason was left stranded in Europe with not much left besides debts to pay and his drive to create something meaningful, but his can do attitude got him back on his feet and made things work out.
- In this interview, we uncover Jason’s path from being born in Cape Town, to studying and working in the U.S., travelling in Europe and building his own business. We talk about entrepreneurial challenges such as making things sustainable and hiring people. Furthermore, we extensively discuss the state of the media in the music industry and the obstacles that artists are facing nowadays to break through. Last but not least, we uncover how to overcome difficulties and how persistence is key, like throwing spaghetti at the wall until it sticks.

HoS 019: Irakli - Why Having Something Unique Matters, The Ideas Behind Art, Not Being Afraid Of Making Mistakes | Home Of Sound
- Irakli is a Georgian-born, Berlin based DJ & producer, who also runs his own imprint Intergalactic Research Institute for Sound and the event series and label STAUB. He has been around the block for over ten years, juggling between events, releases and sets played internationally. And he openly shares how much he believes in the importance of creating something unique and special.
- Irakli studied architecture and has always been attracted to art. Eventually moving to Germany - Cologne first and then Berlin, he found a supportive and stimulating environment in the German capital. Through his platform STAUB, he shaped a musical and artistic direction that is centered around the artist's sounds. In fact, both STAUB’s parties and releases are presented without mentioning the artists’ names, in order for people to listen and discover with an open mind.
- In our conversation, we track back his inspiration and love for music and explore some of his current projects - such as re-releasing a vocal ambient track by Chikiss alongside a remix by Stanislav Tolkachev. As he outlines how he chooses music he likes and shapes ideas into finished products, what strikes us in this conversation is Irakli’s outlook on life: he is calm, focused and propositive. We also talk about how mistakes are a useful tool to learn and progress.

HoS 018: Blasha & Allatt - Creators Have Constant Up & Downs, How Working As A Duo Is Like Having A Sounding Board | Home Of Sound
- Manchester based DJ and promoters Blasha & Allatt join us for a chat about the music industry and their background promoting and playing a growing number of parties in the UK and internationally. The duo, who has been developing a strong bond in working together for years, share their passion for music and experience about the natural ups and downs of the creator’s journey.
- Blasha & Allatt were first introduced to each other by a common friend. They almost instantly enjoyed playing records together and started DJing back-to-back. Eventually with an extended group of friends, they started Meat Free, a well respected regular event in Manchester, that allowed them to host artists such as Ben Sims, Haai, Surgeon, Hector Oaks, Nur Jaber, Sunil Sharpe, Claire Morgan, Manni Dee, Dr Rubinstein… and many more.
- In this chat, we talk about their love for records and music, their history and the learnings from working with other people; and also how they played Boiler Room, preparing for gigs and the challenges of working as a duo. We discuss life experiences (including breaking Ben Sim’s tooth) and the ups and downs that creators - at least most of them - are likely to face. We look at how the scene is bound to evolve due to the current world crisis and the possibility to have more space for the grassroots of the scene: the local artists. And we dig deeper into Blasha & Allatt’s life ethos: doing what makes you happy and sticking to what you really want to do.

HoS 016: Theo Nasa - Don't Fit In, Fit Out!; Life Is Easier If You Are Yourself; Running Your Own Thing To Be In Charge | Home Of Sound
- Theo Nasa, producer, DJ and independent track reviewer, joins us for a chat about being yourself and putting time and energy behind what you love the most. His energy and positive way to look at life are contagious and his work of listening and reviewing hundreds of tracks are an example of commitment to one’s craft.
- Theo started back in 2011, the early days of Instagram, by reviewing, or even better said, embodying tracks that he made or his friends sent to him. Over the years, he turned it into an almost-daily ritual: he listens to each and every track he receives and picks up the music that resonates the most to share it with his growing online community.
- Fast forward to today, Theo still showcases his burning passion for music, not only with his infamous track reviews, that are now praised by many producers and labels, but also with his own production, vocals and records. In this chat, we uncover more of what makes Theo unique: his passion for space, his dedication, his label Alien Sound Trax and his aspirations with music and fashion. He also articulates one of his guiding principles: people will always judge anyways, so why not striving to be your real self and seeking your own happiness in who you are?

HoS 015: Martinovna - Artists Shouldn’t Compromise, Chaos Can Be The Process, Do It As Good As You Can And It Will Happen | Home Of Sound
We welcome Martinovna, an esteemed VJ, who has shared the stage with the likes of Kanding Ray, Ancient Methods and Keith Carnal. She is also one of the leading visual artists for festivals such as Revive and lately Escape From Reality (the virtual festival by RAW agency). In our chat, she tells us the reason why as artists, we may not want to compromise to avoid diluting our creation.
Martinovna is super passionate about techno and electronic music in general and has started VJing after being inspired by what she saw in gigs. Year by year, show after show, she has crafted her own style to make visual performances that help shape the vibe in clubs and festivals.
As you will discover, it does not take much to start VJing, but what makes each artist's creation unique is the work that is put toward each performance and the experience that the artist accumulates over the years. Martinovna shoots herself a lot of the content that ends up in her visuals and often ends up investing days for each performance. In our conversation, we talk a lot about her influences such as Bjork, her ambitions, and how chaos can actually be part of the creative process. We also learn about one of Martinovna’s acquired skills - patience.

HoS 014: Manni Dee - How Imposing Limitation Actually Boosts Creativity, Not Rushing To Send Out Music, Not Taking Things For Granted | Home Of Sound
Manni Dee is a producer and DJ and is regularly featured on Perc Trax’s releases and shows. His music can be described as harsh and broken techno and his sets are widely appreciated by artists and fans worldwide.
Since his first EP released back in 2011, Manni has been developing his own signature sound that has brought him to perform in events all over the world. He landed on labels such as Candela Rising, Earwiggle, Osiris, S.L.A.M., Tresor (where he released his first album in 2018), Leyla Records and of course, Perc Trax, where he developed a very good connection with founder Perc himself.
In this podcast, we take a look at Manni’s inspiration and origins and his experiences with gigs and internet trolls. Going back to his school days and first experiences with music, we talk about Keith , the sound engineer who has been among the first people to support young Manni.
We touch on subjects such as appreciating more of what we have, finding a healthy life balance and not rushing to send out music for demos. And we discover one of Manni’s tools to avoid being overwhelmed and to boost creativity: imposing limitations.

HoS 013: Sunil Sharpe - DJing Is Like A Martial Art; As DJs, We Have A Duty To Share; If You Think You're Perfect, That's The Time To Worry | Home Of Sound
Sunil Sharpe is a well-known figure in the dance music scene, with hundreds of gigs from the early 2000s and all over the world under his belt. In addition to his relentless work to support techno, Sunil has been supporting the nightlife of his country Ireland with the campaign Give Us The Night that aims to promote culture and nightlife by discussing the need for night licenses and venues with the government.
What makes Sunil an icon for many is not only his unique style - vinyl-only, fast-paced and using the pitch control exclusively to change tempos -, but also his relentless work in improving his skills, his loyalty to the grassroots of the scene and the contribution to the latter. In the last decade, Sunil has also been doing interviews with other DJs, running his label Earwiggle and teaching djing to young talents in Dublin.
In this chat - which is more extensive than usual - we take the time to discover Sunil’s origins, his inspiration and his path. The conversation and his experience remind us that we should not expect everything to happen overnight and how djing is comparable to... martial arts: there is no such thing as perfection and there is always room for improvement.

HoS 012: Killawatt - You Need To Release For People To Hear It, The Journey From Validation To Following Your Own Path | Home Of Sound
Matt, in art Killawatt, is a longstanding producer and DJ, who has an eclectic portfolio of releases and music. He started getting into old school breaks several years before eventually embracing techno as well, landing on a signature style that makes his music unique.
Killawatt approaches music-making with an open mind in order to keep creativity as a priority. His consistent release schedule has seen him appearing on labels such as Osiris and 47 quite often and he will soon release on his own imprint as well.
In this chat, we get into his musical roots from the old school parties he used to go to, his take on life and keeping a balance with other jobs outside of music. We also talk about how living away from big cities allows you to look at things differently. We also get a glimpse of his future plans to take up an engineering degree, because he feels the need to contribute to society in more ways than only through his music.
As a prolific and well-appreciated producer of a niche genre, Matt also reminds us that without getting your music out there, there is no way people can hear (let alone like) what we create.

How do we discover music? If it wasn’t for compilations, playlists and passionate music diggers such as Adam Heaton, it would be much harder to find new stuff. In this podcast with Adam, an independent Spotify curator taking care of over 100 playlists of different and specific styles, we also talk about the importance of treating people behind a computer as people (and not robots) and saying thanks more. And we extensively talked about the relevance of Spotify and the story of how Adam went from sorting music just for himself to helping tens of thousands of us discover fresh music every week.

HoS 007: Bas Jenster (Vault Sessions) - Learnings Instead Of Failures, How Artists Can Get Exposure, Side Jobs To Create Freedom | Home Of Sound
Do failures matter? Yes, but only because they help you learn and progress. In this chat with Bas Jenster, who cofounded Vault Sessions, we talked about their journey from a ‘vibe’ to 2,000+ people event. We also spoke about what helps artists get exposure to promoters, how being open to feedback is the only real recipe to grow and how side jobs are actually not that bad, especially if they allow you to develop your passion freely.
Bas also shared with us more about Vault Sessions’ multi-day lineups and future plans...

HoS 006: Chhabb audio - This Is What Promoters Look For, The Artists Struggle, The India Scene | Home Of Sound
What matters for promoters when they book artists? What are the challenges of up and coming artists? What is happening in the Electronic Music scene in India?
In this chat with Chhabb audio, we explored how artists and promoters can make it work and what has been going on in India for the last few years, including the Far Out Festival that Chaab co-organized. We also talk about Chhabb audio’s experience and we got philosophical about the deep drivers for doing art between hierarchy and territory.
