In this interview, I sit down with the talented and accomplished producer Tisoki. He’s released originals and remixes on labels such as OWSLA, Monstercat, and Spinnin’. In this interview, we talk about how he got his start in music, what his workflow looks like, his approach to sound design, how he deals with perfectionism, and much more.

This episode is brought to you by EDM Foundations.
EDM Foundations is my course for new producers, those who’ve been producing for under 12 months, or even those who’ve just started. You can learn more about it here.
The whole idea of the EDM Foundations course is that you learn the fundamentals of music production by actually doing and not just learning concepts. The course consists of 12+ hours worth of streamable video where I walk you through the creation of 3 songs, and give you advice for creating your own original.
We’ve had over 1200 people sign up for the course, many of them have had great results. Hope to see you in there.
