Karl Pilbrow: 'Progressive opened a completely different door for me' | Super Progressive 039

On this week's episode, we are joined by another Australian rising star in the progressive underground... Karl Pilbrow! Forming a solid production duo with legend Kasey Taylor, Karl has had releases on Sudbeat and Vapour and has been supported by Hernan Cattaneo, with many more projects coming up in 2025. I got the chance to meet and hang out with Karl during ADE, and I found him to be a really nice, positive, chilled out guy who above all else loves progressive underground music and culture. In short, he cares about what truly matters. I hope you enjoy this interview!
