014 - Antonio Teoli tells the story of The Amazonic

In this episode of Beyond The Studio we are joined by a remarkable man, who has not only worked on the music for hundreds of computer games, but also create the world's first virtual instrument company with its roots deeply planted in social causes.  

Antonio Teoli created The Amazonic - a company that creates beautiful Kontakt Instruments, from recordings he took of tribes in the Amazon Rainforest in Manaus, Brazil, playing and performing with their traditional instruments.  

The Amazonic sounds stunning, and better yet, up to 30% of the profits of The Amazonic go to the tribe directly, or to other organisations and initiatives set up to protect the rainforest, and ensure the safety and health of the tribe during the pandemic and beyond.  

More information about The Amazonic can be found at their website http://www.theamazonic.com - it really is worth your time and money, and a beautiful way to give back to these indigenous communities whilst still be able to make beautiful music.

Listen to the end to get an exclusive discount code, giving you 30% off your purchase of The Amazonic

012 - Josh Butler's journey to Balance, New Zealand, and new musical frontiers

012 - Josh Butler's journey to Balance, New Zealand, and new musical frontiers

Josh Butler has already had a storied career, in the short number of years since he burst on the scene back in 2013 when his track 'Got A Feeling' took his career, and the careers of Bontan and Pleasurekraft, to the next level (fun fact, the Bontan Remix / Pleasurekraft Edit is still to this day the 9th highest ranked track of all time on Beatport, accoring to Beatstats).

It feels like Josh has been with us for decades already - his sound is timeless and yet contemporary, and also incredibly flexible, as Josh has a number projects, exploring a number of different genres

On this episode of Beyond The Studio, Josh and Paul get together to talk about Josh's upbringing in New Zealand, and just how reality bending moving from the UK to NZ in the middle of a global pandemic has been. Josh talks about the scene in New Zealand and how its emerging out of the pandemic with some really exciting potential for the future for the House & Techno scene there. Paul and Josh also discover their mutual love for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and go in depth about josh's back injury, his road to recovery, and finding better balance between living on the road, touring the world, and finding some time to pause and enjoy it all.

Jeffrey Frugte aka Hollt is one of electronic music's most exciting new talents.

Not only that, Hollt has built his own controller, The Holltesizer, which he uses on stage to create a powerful, intuitive, engaging and dynamic stage presence for the crowd.  During the pandemic, Hollt has performed some gorgeous looking (and sounding) live streams in some incredible locations, and continues to innovate, as he looks to build Holltesizer 2.0, and push the boundaries of what's possible for an artist to achieve on stage, to take our genre to the next level  

In this episode of Beyond The Studio, MYT founder Paul Nolan sits down for an extended chat with Hollt about his production journey, the birth of the Holltesizer, our favourite plugins, and so much more,   Not only that, Hollt has just produced his first online course exclusively for us at MYT!   From 'Studio To The Stage' is a comprehensive deep dive into Hollt's Production and Live Performance process. Over 6hrs of video content, you are taken on a journey in how to make cutting edge Melodic Techno, with Hollt's signature flair and style.

004 - Jeff Rona's advice for Dance Music Producers wanting to Compose Film Music

004 - Jeff Rona's advice for Dance Music Producers wanting to Compose Film Music

Jeff Rona has seen it and done it all in Hollywood. From working with Hans Zimmer on scores such as Mission:Impossible III, and director Ridley Scott on White Squall, to iconic TV scores for influential shows Homicide: Life on The Street, Chicago Hope & Profiler, his experience in creating the soundtrack to incredible storytelling is among the most impressive of any modern composer.

Add in his hugely successful diversions into documentaries, including Generation Iron (and it's sequel), and video games, such as his award winning soundtrack for last year's Devil May Cry 5 for Capcom, it's clear that we'd need an entire podcast episode in itself devoted to just reading out Jeff's credits!

Not only that, Jeff has devoted himself to educating and enlightening new and aspiring composers, with his best selling books 'The Reel World', which to this day prove to be an excellent primer for anyone wondering what it takes to write music for media in the modern age.

In this exclusive Masterclass with MYT's Paul Nolan, Jeff gives all the advice you need if you're an electronic music producer, and looking to diversify into music for Film, TV & Games. 

This is another Beyond The Studio packed full of golden advice from one of the best in the game.

You can find out more about Jeff at http://www.jeffrona.com/

This was another live masteclass held exclusively for MYT AAA members, and we have many more planned throughout 2021 with the biggest names and brightest minds in electronic music, film music and much more. You can attend these classes live by signing up for AAA Membership, which costs just £7 for your first 7 days.

003 - Dave Ralph's incredible journey to the top of the Dance Music tree.

003 - Dave Ralph's incredible journey to the top of the Dance Music tree.

Dave Ralph has had one of the most interesting and unique journeys in the history of electronic music. From humble beginnings in his home city of Liverpool, Dave went on to regularly feature at iconic superclubs like Cream, and tour the world with other legendary DJs such as Paul Oakenfold.

Dave also jumped across the pond at a much earlier stage than most in dance music, and established himself as a well known touring artist across America, and also played a huge role in the success of Insomniac, which has grown into one of the foremost club and festival brands in the world.

That's not all! Dave is also an accomplished producer, and was one of the talents behind one of the biggest dancefloor hits of the 90's, Bassheads 'Is There Anybody Out There?'

Dave's been putting the lockdown to good use, and has, after a long hiatus, gotten back into the studio, and is creating some amazing new tracks with the more modern studio technology he now has at his disposal.

In this conversation with MYT Founder Paul Nolan, Dave reflects on his incredible journey, which proves that success definitely doesn't come in a straight line, or even in the form you were expecting!

This conversation was a live streamed Masterclass for MYT AAA Members, and if you'd like to attend these Masterclasses live in future, then consider becoming an MYT AAA Member, which gets you access to events like this on a regular basis, 20+ courses and a vibrant supportive community of other artists who share the same goals as you, all lifting each other up to greater success in their creative endaevours.

001 - Bushwacka! on Mental Health and his new venture, ListenUp Therapy

001 - Bushwacka! on Mental Health and his new venture, ListenUp Therapy

Matthew 'Bushwacka' Benjamin has done it all in a career that has spanned over 3 decades.

From the earliest days of Acid House, through to the era of breakbeat, his incredible partnership with Layo Paskin and their legendary residency at one of London's most missed venues, The End, to genre defining labels such as Oblong, Olmeto and Plank, and even mainstream chart hits, thanks to tracks such as 'Love Story' - it's been a career to end them all...and that's before you get to the wilder, more challenging side of a life so well lived and immersed in electronic dance music culture.

It's a journey that has led him through some challenging times, but out of those challenges emerged a new path. A fascinating shift in gears has seen Matthew recently qualify as a psychotherapist, and is now launching a mental health and wellbeing platform, Listen Up Therapy, alongside his partner Belinda.

In this, the very first episode of MYT - Beyond The Studio, Matthew and Belinda sit down with MYT Founder Paul Nolan to talk about this new and emerging path, the challenges that a life in electronic music presents from a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual perspective, and what they hope to achieve through Listen Up

MYT: Beyond The Studio - Official Trailer

MYT: Beyond The Studio - Official Trailer

We've been planning this for a while.

Honestly, it's been an idea of mine for years - to create a podcast where I sit down with electronic music's biggest, brightest and best, for conversations that really get into the psyche, philosophy and mindsets required to not only succeed the modern music industry, but in life in general.

After the 2020 we've all been through, the time couldn't feel more right for this, and so, in January, we're launching Beyond The Studio.

Expect original long form conversations with some of the most well respected artists, producers and thought leaders in electronic music culture, as well as insights from experts in the field of mental and physical health, self improvement and spiritual growth.

Not only that, we'll be featuring audio versions of our Artist Masterclasses, which are attended live, and exclusively by our MYT AAA Members.

There'll also be solo episodes, recorded by yours truly, on a huge range of topics, all with the intention of helping you develop and refine your artistic and creative practice.

All of this is covered, with new episodes every single week, in service to you, so you can become the best artist you can be, through becoming the best version of yourself - which is the central core value behind everything we do at MYT, and why I set the platform up in the first place.

You can listen to a trailer episode right here, and you can subscribe to Beyond The Studio wherever you get your podcasts from.

I'm genuinely excited to go Beyond The Studio with you!

Big Love!

Paul Nolan
