Today we are entertaining one of Spain’s finest House Music Producers, KPD.
With hundreds of releases to his name on the world's biggest labels from Defected to Toolroom AND with one of his singles reaching 25 million streams on Spotify, I was keen to understand how he maintains this output, at this quality.
And all whilst DJing around the world!
The answers to these questions are actually very different to everything we’ve heard on the show so far.
We uncover the reason why one big release does not mean you’ve made it…
…what happens when a track goes big and reaches 25 million streams…
…how you can build a career as a producer and DJ without being a slave to relentless travelling…
…and how to get your music discovered by the people who count in your corner of the industry.
Now, if you think you might have left it too late to give yourself a chance of building a career in the industry…
Or if you have a family you want to spend time with and feel that’s a barrier to following your dreams of DJing and producing…
…you’ll want to pay special attention to this one!
Let’s dive in.
