In this episode, we sit down with Skala — DJ, producer, label co-founder and tireless scene-builder. We talk about the art of the long set vs. hit pressure, phones-on-the-dancefloor and safe spaces, sexism and line-up diversity, and the nuts and bolts of studio flow: contrast, storytelling, and knowing when a radio edit belongs next to an 8-minute journey. Candid stories from the booth and the label office, hard-won lessons on confidence over clout — and why emotional truth always outlives trends.
In this episode, we sit down with the multi-talented artist Ruede Hagelstein — DJ, producer, label owner, author of "DJs Are Dead" and now even aspiring comedian. We talk about creativity, chaos, failure, funny stories from decades in the scene, and why emotion always beats perfection in music.
