Jesse Cannon, Dustin Boyer, Andrew Southworth, and Matt Bacon engage in a deep discussion on the mechanics of music algorithms—especially those used by apps like Spotify—and how they interact with the artistic process. They explore whether algorithms influence or dilute artistic integrity, unpacking concepts such as collaborative filtering, user behavior, and track metadata. Throughout the conversation, they emphasize the importance of matching music with the right listeners to trigger better algorithmic performance. The episode also features a compelling interview with Goshfather, a Disco House DJ who nearly stepped away from music but now enjoys streaming success and festival gigs. Goshfather shares his insights into genre branding, visual identity, and content strategy, offering practical guidance and inspiration for both emerging and experienced artists navigating today’s digital landscape. The conversation closes with an in-depth analysis of third-party playlisting—its risks, advantages, and strategic value—highlighting the nuanced decisions artists must make in growing their careers.
