If there’s one giant
misconception about music production, it’s that you’ll reach a
point in your journey where it suddenly gets
easy...
Some
point where there’s no more anxiety, no more lack of inspiration,
no more creative blocks.
But
in reality, you couldn’t get any further from the
truth.
That’s
why this week on the podcast I’m pumped to be joined by one of
electronic music’s finest talents, Rodriguez Jr., to lift the lid
on what it takes to spend 20+ years at the top of his game in the
music industry, and overcome the creative challenges all producers
face.
As
one half of French electro act The Youngsters (best known for their
work on Laurent Garnier’s F-Communications) Olivier Mateu’s
award-winning productions catapulted him into the international
arena, taking him to some of the biggest clubs and festivals around
the
world.
Now operating under the Rodriguez Jr. moniker,
Olivier is a prolific solo artist who’s released 3 critically
acclaimed albums on Mobilee Records, and is safely one of
electronic music’s most unique and in-demand live
performers.
He joins me this week to uncover
how he gets into the right mental state to create his best work,
how he turns his ideas into finished pieces of music, where his
inspiration comes from, and his tips for overcoming the creative
blocks holding you back.
With
an infectious passion for what he does and a WEALTH of knowledge to
share, there’s so much for you to take away from in this
episode.
Get
the notepad out and get locked in, this one is
special.
