   SITB 259 - How To Build Real Fans In 2026 w/ Goshfather

   If you’re an artist, producer, or DJ trying to build something real right now, this episode is for you. Goshfather has spent years figuring out what actually works in today’s music landscape — not just getting streams or chasing a viral moment, but building a project people actually care about. And in this conversation, we get into everything from why most artists are posting the wrong content, to what “real fans” actually look like in 2026, to why the algorithm probably isn’t your biggest problem. We also talk about branding, artist development, the death of the old SoundCloud playbook, and the moment Goshfather realized that people didn’t even understand what his project was — even while he was dropping music every single week. This one is honest, funny, super practical, and packed with gems for anyone trying to turn momentum into something sustainable. Here’s my conversation with Goshfather.

   SITB 258 - Being Yourself Is The Hardest Part w/ Claude VonStroke

   Claude VonStroke built what many people consider the most influential house music label in American dance music history. Through Dirtybird, he didn't just release records—he built a movement, launched careers, and created a community that helped shape an entire generation of dance music culture. Then, after nearly two decades of growth and success, he made the difficult decision to step away from the company he created and begin a new chapter on his own terms. That chapter is Wrong Number—his most personal project to date. It's a reflection on reinvention, creativity, and having the courage to make decisions that don't always make sense on paper. In this conversation, we dive into the story behind leaving Dirtybird, the making of Wrong Number, what it means to stay authentic when everyone has an opinion, and the lessons he's learned from a career spent building one of dance music's most recognizable brands. This is an ICONIC episode.
