It's 2024 and the last Monday of February, which means we're back in the world of the music industry and taking a look behind the scenes all over again!
This edition of Before The ENCORE, I had the pleasure and privilege to sit down opposite Chris Bubenzer, producer extraordinaire and one half of Diffusion Lab. Chris has an extensive discography and is one of the main figures in production responsible for the sea change in sound in Irish music back in the mid-2010s with artists like Soulé, Jafaris, Valarie Rose, whoisdays & Sweetlemondae.
We chat about our roots, moving in different directions, different production styles and how all of those things interact with each other in this episode.
