    #171: RCRDSHP on The Future of Music Ownership & NFTs

    EDM Foundations β†’ https://edmprod.com/edm-foundations

    RCRDSHP is a startup combining music with the NFT space in an exciting way.

    Their goal is to re-establish the value of music in a digital age where songs can be infinitely streamed, downloaded, and copied with little to no value.

    At the moment, their platform is invite-only, but they plan to expand it so that producers and record labels are able to release their music on the platform and connect with fans.

    In this interview, we talk about how they got started, where they’re at now and their plans for the future, along with the challenges that the NFT space has.

Best EDM Podcast

What makes this podcast so great is that Connor O'Brien does a fantastic job as interviewer. He structures his questions very well, asking the same set of questions more or less to each person he interviews. Plus he asks great follow up questions. There are other EDM podcast I listen to that a more of an unstructured conversation, which while entertaining, I do not learn that much from. This podcast I learn a lot from. He also has a lot of great guests, but so do other podcasts. It is Conner that makes this podcats great.

Beyond Helpful and Motivating

I love this podcast. It’s so helpful and informative, and best of all, it’s not condescending. They present information in an informal and conversational way that is very accessible for beginners. It also helps me stay motivated. For example, I’m currently listening to episode 12 and I have to say that I tuned into that episode at the ideal time in my production journey. I am a VERY new producer - so new that I hesitate to even call myself that - and I work a full time job as an attorney which is very demanding. Unsurprisingly, as a very type A person, I am only satisfied if I can give something 100% of my attention. Well obviously I can’t give production 100% of my attention, which lately has meant that I barely even open Ableton and then there’s a snowball of self-doubt and guilt that I should be doing more. This episode in particular talks about time management and just hearing about Levi’s own self-doubt at some point really resonated and made me feel less like a total failure. Thanks guys!
