    Wreckno & Gardella — Surviving EDM in 2026 | Poducer #144

    Poducer | The Podcast for Producers Wreckno and Gardella pull up for a chaotic, funny, and honest conversation about bass music, queer identity in EDM, social media burnout, and the reality of building a career in electronic music. A big part of this episode dives into Wreckno’s experience navigating the scene as a queer and gender non-conforming artist, the evolution of inclusivity in dance music, and how representation in bass music has changed over the years. They also talk about rave culture, self-expression, and why creating space for people to fully be themselves matters. Outside of that, the conversation spirals into Survivor audition tapes, trap-era nostalgia, getting kicked off stage at Brillz shows, algorithm fatigue, touring life, and the weirdness of being an artist online in 2026.

    Ben Moskow | Chicago Series — What It Takes to Build Independent Media | Poducer #141

    Poducer | The Podcast for Producers Jerry sits down with Ben Moskow (The Real Ones) to talk about independent media, podcasting, and the evolving creator economy. The conversation covers Ben’s background in media, how The Real Ones started, the rise of Substack and newsletters, and what it takes to build sustainable independent platforms in an increasingly crowded media landscape. Ben Moskow Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ben.m/ Real Ones https://realonesshow.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@UC0pWzldmto6M2HTOYv8S6eg https://www.tiktok.com/@realonesshow Ben shares how The Real Ones grew out of a desire to document artists early in their careers and create space for deeper conversations outside the traditional press cycle. Jerry and Ben discuss the role independent media can play in music scenes, especially when smaller platforms highlight emerging artists and communities that larger outlets often overlook. The conversation also dives into the evolution of podcasting itself. What started as a grassroots medium where anyone could start a show has become a far more competitive space, particularly as celebrities and major public figures have entered the format. Jerry and Ben explore how that shift has changed the way audiences discover and engage with shows. They also discuss the broader creator ecosystem, including platforms like Substack and the growing interest in building direct relationships with audiences through newsletters and independent media channels. Toward the end, the conversation turns to the realities of sustaining independent projects today, from audience attention to the economics of building a platform that can last.

    Poducer | The Podcast for Producers On this episode of Poducer, Jerry sits down with Neumonic, Northern Road, and Kiefer Ian for a conversation about the realities of building a career in electronic music. The discussion moves from early influences and first concerts into the path from DJing to producing, and how artists eventually find the sound that feels like their own. Neumonic talks about landing in the UK garage lane after years of DJing across genres, and how committing to that direction helped everything start to click. The group also dives into the modern production landscape, including the rise of sample packs, the temptation of drag-and-drop workflows, and why developing a real sound still takes intention and practice. They also get into the process of improving as a producer. Neumonic shares lessons from Justin Jay’s production bootcamp, the mindset of finishing songs instead of stacking loops, and how mentorship and creative constraints can help break through creative blocks. Toward the end, the conversation shifts to the business side of music. From touring burnout to the real economics behind show fees and promotion, the episode offers an honest look at what it takes to keep building a sustainable project while still keeping the joy of making music alive.

    VCTRE — Making Music For Producers Is a Trap | Poducer #139

    Poducer | The Podcast for Producers In this episode of Poducer, the podcast for producers, we sit down with VCTRE (Vector), a Denver-based producer and artist navigating the balance between creativity, consistency, and building a sustainable lane in today’s music world. From curating his own shows and designing the full experience around them to figuring out how to promote without feeling corny, VCTRE breaks down what it looks like to take real ownership over your project instead of waiting for opportunities to show up. We talk about why just posting a flyer doesn’t cut it anymore, how his relationship with content changed, and what finally clicked for him about being himself online. On the creative side, we get into remix culture, jumping into trends without losing your identity, and how he decides what to release when he’s sitting on a ton of music. VCTRE opens up about moving away from “producing for producers,” trusting his own taste more, and finding inspiration in underground scenes, SoundCloud rabbit holes, and organic collaborations. We also touch on the less glamorous parts of the process: managing an ADD brain, staying productive without burning out, building routines (including the gym arc), and keeping music exciting when it starts to feel like work. We wrap with reflections on community, curated shows vs chasing hype, collaboration over isolation, and how to keep building a long-term vision without losing the joy of making music in the first place.
