    Trackstack Podcast E39: ARAPU — Why He Never Prepares a DJ Set

    Bucharest-born DJ and producer Arapu joins the Trackstack Podcast for an honest conversation about trusting instinct over strategy. He opens up about the early days moving to Bucharest with no money and no plan, working just one month in his entire life, and surviving purely on his parents' belief in him while he taught himself to produce. From there, he breaks down why he never prepares a DJ set, how he built his label Liniar as a vinyl-only outlet, and why following feeling over formula has shaped everything since. He also gets into the oversupply of music today and his thoughts on AI in production.Follow Arapu: @arapu__

    Building Trackstack: The OS for Electronic Music Artists

    In this episode, Trackstack co-founders Cameron and George Perry pull back the curtain on what Trackstack is really becoming. Not just a demo submission tool, but a complete operating system for building a sustainable career in electronic music.They get into the honest truth about what it actually takes to go from making tracks in your bedroom to becoming a working artist: why your first 100 pro fans matter more than chasing the biggest DJs, how to build your network city by city, and why doing it with the people around you beats doing it alone.They also walk through the full Trackstack product suite — Inbox, Studio, Elevate, and the brand new Store — and explain how each one maps to a different stage of the artist journey. Studio is getting a major rebuild away from music education and towards genuine community building. Elevate opens up a marketplace for production coaching, mixing, and mastering. And the Store means no track ever has to disappear into a private SoundCloud link again.Plus — what's coming up at IMS Ibiza and what the rest of 2026 looks like for Trackstack.Chapters:0:00 – What is Trackstack OS?2:40 – Being an artist vs. having a career7:00 – The real purpose of Inbox10:30 – Why your city matters more than the biggest DJs15:30 – Studio rebuilt19:30 – Elevate: the artist services marketplace34:00 – The Store: a home for every track you make40:00 – IMS and what's nextConnect with Trackstack on Instagram: @trackstack.pro Connect with Cameron & George on Instagram: @cameronembling @george_trackstack
