We’ve also launched a podcast where we interview independent artists about their recently released song. The podcast goes out weekly on Saturday at noon (UTC+1).
The first episode was an interview with Christopher Shawn of Soviet//Shiksa about their heavy, goth-americana epos ‘Demonize. As a counterpoint, the second episode is the more light-hearted talk with Rivita about not worrying what other people think and just getting with being creative. Last week’s episode was a more personal talk with Brazilian singer-songwriter Guilherme Lara about the death of his father the missing place at the dining table (Mesa de jantar). This week’s guest is Michael Gilbride of telco and he will tell the story of how he propelled ‘Say hello’ from zero to 30,000 streams in less than one month.

You make for a pleasant, knowledgeable and sympathetic host ... and your unique mixture of Northern UK and Netherland accents is fascinating :) When going through your podcast backlog, 2 out of the 3 eps have already raised the issue of 'drums' and how programming drums can be torture, sucking the life and enjoyment out of the song process. I heartily agree and therefore at every possibility highly recommend a lucky find ... Toontrack's EZ Drummer 2 (approx EUR 120). Standalone and/or DAW plugin (I us…
