Adding some new sounds to the Artists Talk roster for this episode, bass artists Dack Janiels and Decimate join to give a perspective on the dance music industry from an angle outside of house music.

There are so many "hard truths" about being a professional in the industry that these two touch on in this chat, including the topic of how all-encompassing the job of an artist is nowadays.

On with a pair of artists in the house scene who have honed their craft and have been supported by many labels and artists, Tombz and Phantasm. Both of these guys have gone through their fair share of career transitions, with Phantasm having rebranded recently from his prior house project of "Achilles", and Tombz splitting up from being a duo project a couple years back.

Joining me for episode three, a duo from deep up north in Canada, FOOTWURK, come on alongside a fellow east coast house producer of mine, Mekii. Chatting about Mekii's musical background involving fresh sounds of jazz and pop music, as well as the tight-knit party vibes that FOOTWURK aim for in performances, it's easy to say that this talk was diverse. Exchanging music, sharing opinions about releasing music, and what the label game looks like outside of the house scene comparatively was even eye-opening for me. Give this one a listen if you want to hear a great Canadian accent and conversation about awesome house music!

Two of the freshest house producers join me for this episode of Artists Talk, one from Spain and the other from Korea. I'm talking about none other than Eleganto and LOOZBONE! Both have been carving their own path and making names for themselves in the house scene with Eleganto even recently releasing an official remix for Martin Garrix. LOOZBONE pushing dance music in Asia as IN/ROTATION's developing new mainstay, specializes in a very crisp tech house sound. Unfortunately, Eleganto's mic went in and out while crackling here and there throughout the episode, so this turned out as a shorter episode. Regardless, hearing some exclusive new music from these two as well as enjoying some great conversation makes the episode more than worth it to check out!

We're into the Pacific Northwest of the US for this episode with Seattle-based artists, GRAYMATTER and Avenue. These two share label ties with me, being part of Sub 49 Collective, a bass house label out of Seattle which GRAYMATTER the label manager of. GRAYMATTER himself is a DJ at heart, with a background of open-format DJing turned to audio engineering, as he recently graduated with a master's degree at Berklee College of Music. That being said, this episode is packed with knowledge that any music producer could learn a thing or two from. Avenue on the other hand is a producer melding bass house production with his love of tech house, resulting in a rhythmic style while maintaining his aggressive basslines. He has feature releases on several labels including Boat House, Ghetto Ghetto, From The Hood, and (of course) Sub 49. There's a lot of history in this one between the artists as well as about the city's premiere bass house record label!

The artists who joined me in this session, although great friends, live on complete opposite sides of the world. These two being Castnowski and PEACE MAKER! Castnowski being from the Montreal, Canada, includes a wide range of sounds in his music, from his well-known bass house to his more recent style of lush, summery vibes. He takes his creative vision one step further in the form of his own notable record label, Fraudulent Records.

Having signed songs to many respected labels in the game such as Myth of NYX, Repopulate Mars, Dim Mak, and This Ain't Bristol, PEACE MAKER! is definitely seen to be a very talented artist in the dance music scene. Seeing the interactions between these two was great to see as the banter had no end!

Have you heard of a kolache? Well I didn't before this episode with Isenberg and Milazzo, two bass house and UK bassline artists residing in Texas. Being good friends with one another, they have multiple collaborations and have supported eachother's careers for a long while.

From across the globe, one artist being from Las Vegas, Nevada, and the other being from Israel, this episode connected two artists in the bass house scene, by the names of Sebastian Knight and Tomix, who pursue very niche sounds within the genre. From the deep groove of Sebastian's basses to the weird and new sounds of Tomix, these two have definitely carved out their own spots in the music community, releasing on labels such as Confession, Gold Digger, Mixmash, and Noir Sur Blanc.
