We’re now at episode 15 of the EDM Prodcast. 15 isn’t a special number. It’s not 25, which is a quarter of 100, and it’s not 10, which is the first two-digit number, but it’s a nice number nonetheless.
Fortunately, this week’s guest is A LOT more interesting than the number 15.
His name is Serik Slobodskoy, and he produces music under Hyperbits and The Rooftop Boys.
This interview is one of my favorite so far, why? Because Serik goes deep into the technical aspects of music production–mixing, layering, composition, etc. But he also shares his story and talks about how he went from being a marketing manager at a lifeless company to full-time artist.
So, while it’s incredibly motivating, there’s also a lot of practical advice in it.
