If ever you are looking for inspiration or a story of hope in the music industry, you may just want to chart the impressive career of my next special Guest!
Ben Tillman isn't your atypical music promoter. Being confined to a wheelchair, after an unlucky road accident, has not stopped his determination and drive to be a successful player in the business, not that he seeks nor craves accolades and back slaps!
He's a music fan first and foremost and his modus operandi comes from a very different lens to your every-day entrepreneur. Not only does he run and co-programme the long standing and successful 'Yours and Owls' Festival, but he also finds the time and dedication to release music from the likes of Hockey Dad, Bad/Dreems and Bec Sandridge. He is also a champion of regional touring on top of being a very vocal advocate of protecting Live Music in general.
He may be quietly spoken and at times self deprecating but, make no mistake, Ben probably has 100 tabs open in his mind at any given time.
This is an inspiring and refreshing conversation with someone who is in the game for the right reasons, someone who cares about the industry in a very pure and honest sense.

Anthony Agostino and Christina Rinaldi; Inside The Cartel
Love it or hate it, there's no denying that 'Social Media' and it's continual evolution plays a major role in the development and and sustainability of most artists' careers. The real question is 'how do you use it to properly amplify your voice and messaging' and then 'how do you do that effectively so it's on brand with your music and end goals'?
This week on Vinyl Tap, we speak with two specialists, who are on top of their game, as we aim to debunk and shed some light on the many questions we all have about the relevance and importance of social media and marketing music in todays climate.
Meet Christina Rinaldi and Anthony Agostino from CARTEL, Australia who have designed an exemplary Artist Development & Label Services offering which instinctively utilises Social Media as a core tool in the marketing of their clientele. Both emanate from solid music backgrounds, Christina as a successful music publicist and Anthony as a DJ/Producer and their client list is nothing to scoff at- Peggy Gou, Carl Cox, Vera Blue, Shouse, Luude and Tash Sultana to name but a few.
CARTEL by ambition, but not by nature- thank God! This is a real educational hour of power!

Gabe Bravo; Cloak And Swagger
Gabe Bravo is living proof of how to turn a passion for music and fandom into a business. He began his industry journey as a young music blogger in Perth around the time that streaming began to take hold of the business. From posting up his favourite electronic tracks and remixes to 'jumping the fence' at The Big Day Out Festival, his thirst for new music was as rabid as it was organic.
After a nine month self imposed stint in Bali where he initially began his management business, he decided to take the jump from his native Perth into the Big Pond that is Melbourne...well a Big Pond compared to his home city.
After a chance meeting with Ant Celestino and Frank Cotela from OneLove Recordings some 10 years ago, Gabe was literally thrust into the deep-end on the spot. He started at the label the very next day with no real job description and no confirmation of what he was being paid. Talk about a baptism of fire! Of course this didn't matter as far as Gabe was concerned. This was his entry point into the music industry
Today, Gabe still sits within the OneLove framework, only he his running and succeeding with his own management arm- Cloak Entertainment. His roster includes Luude, Dean Turnley, Wiilo, William Kiss, Jordan Brando, Tom Santa, Tim Ayr and Generik, all of whom are making a considerable splash on the world stage. In this week's episode, we get a bird-eye view of the mechanics and nuances of the EMD world and where Gabe and Cloak Entertainment fit into the greater scheme of the dance world.
