He also is the mind behind the musical saga titles “New Year Protocol,” which tells the battle of man versus the machine. This story is set to last 10 chapters, projecting a finale in 2025. With support from established artists such as Au5, Chime and Xilent, tracks on labels like SLANDER’s Heaven Sent and Chime’s Rushdown, collaborations with fellow up and comers like Sharks and Skybreak, official remixes for Ace Aura & Millennial Trash, and other achievements, Paul’s approach to music makes him a creator on the rise creating his own sound.

In recent years, Skye Kothari (AKA acloudyskye) has become one of the most highly regarded figures in underground electronic music scenes. The producer, composer, and vocalist native to New York City broke through with a unique style attracting ears from all parts of the electronic world, receiving support from artists such as San Holo, Porter Robinson, ILLENIUM & Martijn van Sonderen from Noisia. Skye is only one of a handful of concept producers who have emerged into underground electronic scenes with an emphasis on songwriting, balancing melody and bass, and worldbuilding.
In this episode, Skye sat down with me for his first ever live interview to talk about his recent sophomore album "Blood Rushing Like Current Through A Powerline," his creative process in both his music and his art, and the evolution of his music.
Midas Klare (AKA Inverted Silence) is a music producer from the Netherlands known for his powerful bass music sound incorporating melodic elements inspired by film & game soundtracks and jazz. Outside of music, he's known for the Ableton Live Enhancement Suite (LES), a collaborative programming project with fellow Netherlands-based music producer and YouTuber Dylan Tallchief. With official releases on established labels such as Lowly & MEGAREX under his belt, as well as support from established artists in the scene such as Aiobahn and Voltra, I was extremely excited to dive in and talk about his past successes and where a lot of his inspirations come from.
Daniel Sanchez (AKA Paper Skies) is an up and coming dubstep producer who has been a key contributor to the rise of the color bass movement in dubstep.
With EPs on labels such as Rushdown and his very own 04 Collective, as well as collaborations with artists such as Azazal, Kazukii, Jeto, Sharks, and many others, the Toronto-based producer and graphic designer is a major inspiration to a lot of younger producers and I was so honored to have him on for the first episode!!
In this episode, we talk about Dan's latest release "Datasphere" on Buygore, his production ventures before Paper Skies, and how the landscape of the electronic scene has changed (especially with the pandemic).
