Orlando and Bhaskar are on Alok's Controversia Records team. Orlando is the label manager and Bhaskar is the head of A&R and also an artist in his own right. Controversia Records was founded in June of 2019 and has since released tracks from artists like Timmy Trumpet, KSHMR, Bhaskar, Yves V, and many more.

Orlando, Bhaskar, and I talk about the differences between the Brazilian music industry and the rest of the world since it has such a different sound. The Brazilian market is difficult to break into because they're very picky on what they listen to. Orlando and Bhaskar also discuss Controversia Records deals and how they're structured. Lastly, we talked about label marketing and how they grow artists on their roster.

Andrew Goldstone is a music business pioneer. As one of the first employees at Astralwerks he saw that label rise to critical acclaim and financial success in the mid 90’s with his signing of Fatboy Slim and the label’s work with the Chemical Brothers, Air, Basement Jaxx, Future Sound of London and others. Following that, he set up his F-111 imprint at Warner Bros. where he signed Green Velvet and had huge chart hits around the world with remixes of Green Velvet’s “Flash” and Moloko’s “Sing It Back”. After a stint at Ministry of Sound in New York where he signed Fischerspooner, Andrew went to law school and then joined the entertainment law firm of Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks where he worked on ground breaking deals for Madonna, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Diddy and others. At the end of 2012, he moved to Red Light Management to manage Tiësto while also serving as the GM of Tiesto’s record label, Musical Freedom Records. Andrew moved to Deckstar (now YM&U Group) in 2017 with Don Diablo who rose to be the 6th most popular DJ in the world while under his management and currently manages 3LAU, whose NFT drops have generated nearly $20M in sales this year, and Sullivan King.

Nikki Kaelar, aka Varien, is an American composer and producer. She grew up listening to all genres of music, which allowed her to drum up inspiration from various cultures and styles. She incorporates these styles with her industrial, metal, orchestral, and ambient music. She’s been performing music since the age of 11 and has since released music on Monstercat and composed for movies and shows like 300: Rise of an Empire, Bones, The Purge: Anarchy, Face Off, America's Next Top Model, PlanetSide 2, and Monsters: Dark Continent.

Nikki and I talk about her production techniques, including subtractive EQ and making everything “net 0.” Nikki also shares why she draws inspiration from art and languages (she speaks Japanese fluently). Lastly, her hiatus and return from last year have greatly impacted her sound now, as well as some forthcoming collaborations.

Mental health has reared its ugly head within many of our lives. It has affected those that don't deserve it and has caused many of those we love to leave forever, including Chester Bennington, Avicii (Tim Bergling), Anthony Bourdain, Kate Spade, and more. It's an ugly illness and it often feels like there's simply nowhere else to go. That's not true.
