The #bassmusic industry’s business model is stealing from #producers Most labels don’t make money from hits, they profit from fails. They sign mid-tier #musicproducers, upcharge them for mastering n branding, and then duck payouts claiming they havent “recouped”. Be careful who you work with. #edm

More clips from our boy Quack Daddy's set at the Sausage Castle last weekend. Mid set a guy with a lamp shade on his head pulled up on a motorized couch and started doing donuts in front of the stage. Was a crazy moment. #dubstep #drumandbass #edm #rave #festivals #bassmusic #hardstyle #orlando

Be vulnerable. Don’t be afraid to show your struggles, doubts, or imperfections. Vulnerability makes your music relatable and builds deeper connections with your audience, showing them the real you. #musicproducers #creativedirection #musicmarketing #brandbuilding #musicbusiness #dubstep #drum&bass

"The idea is to produce things that are as strange as reality." - Brian Eno

Building an audience-driven community transforms passive listeners into active supporters who fuel your growth as an artist.

The most successful artists map out their end goals and work backward to create a clear path forward. They build their careers as if they were constructing a business, focusing on sustainability and scalability rather than quick wins. #music #musicmarketing #brandbuilding #edm #dubstep #drumandbass

No one achieves greatness alone. Even the most successful artists rely on teams to support their creative and professional journeys. They understand that their success is built on collaboration—managers, producers, engineers, marketers, and even trusted friends form the backbone of a thriving career

Don’t settle for where you are. Keep challenging yourself to learn new techniques and push your creative boundaries. The music industry evolves, and so should you. Constant growth is essential to staying relevant and magnetic as an artist.
