KURA: Rebranding My Sound Was Brutal19 Nov 202501:01:59

Rebranding as an artist isn’t a quick fix; it’s a long, uncomfortable process. In this episode, Portuguese DJ/producer KURA opens up about shifting from his EDM past into a darker techno/tech-house identity, building his own Darkroom concept, and what it takes to escape the box the industry keeps you in.


We go all the way back to his resident DJ days in Portugal, before YouTube tutorials, before the EDM boom, and follow the journey from mashups and club edits, to big-room stages, to now rebuilding the foundations of his artist brand from scratch.


KURA shares how the pandemic frustration became fuel for a new chapter, why many DJs get stuck playing commercial sets, how Darkroom started in an abandoned warehouse, and why content (even if you hate it) is the most important tool in a modern rebrand.

We also dive into how he uses AI tools like Suno and ChatGPT for inspiration in his workflow.


If you’re an electronic music producer or DJ trying to shift your sound or identity, this one will hit home.

Why Every Artist Needs Delusional Self-Belief12 Nov 202501:00:02

When you’re starting out, self-belief looks like delusion.


Every artist goes through that stage, when no one believes in you yet, and you have to back yourself anyway. In this episode, Ralph and I talk about why that mindset isn’t arrogance; it’s survival.


We unpack what delusional self-belief really means, how it helps you push through rejection, and where the line is between confidence and ego. Ralph shares his own story from early wins like “Beat Cut” and “Mush Mush” to working with Martin Garrix during the “Cracking” era, and how staying a little bit delusional kept him moving when things got tough.


We also touch on:

• How to keep believing when results don’t show yet

• The pressure that comes after your first success

• What Showtek taught him about simplicity and momentum

• Afrojack’s take on copying vs. authenticity

• Community Q&A: finishing tracks, self-promotion, contracts & exposure


🎧 Listen if you’re in that early phase where doubt is loud. This episode will remind you why you started, and why belief comes before proof.


(00:00) Intro

(06:10) Brutal honesty and clarity

(10:59) The value of delusional self-belief

LABELS vs SELF-RELEASE in 202524 Sep 202501:03:17

🧑🏼‍🤝‍🧑🏼 Join the Artist Coaching Community:

https://linktr.ee/artistcoachingnl


Labels vs. self-release isn’t a religion; it’s a tactic. We unpack how new producers can actually break through today: engineer DJ support, ship consistently, and treat labels as amplifiers (not saviors). We dig into why Spotify monthly listeners don’t equal ticket sales, using current scene examples, and how niche impact often beats mass streams. Community questions spark real talk on starting as a ghost producer (product first, relationships second), handling stage fright (skill, prep, and perspective), and whether formal training helps vs. trial-and-error. We also jam on content: when to hire creative help, what still has to be “you,” and how mood-driven visuals can carry a track. Plus: ADE lunch + seminar update (limited tickets).

Stop Chasing BIG Names - Win With the B-List (Micro-DJ Strategy)17 Sep 202501:02:50

🧑🏼‍🤝‍🧑🏼 Join the Artist Coaching Community:

https://linktr.ee/artistcoachingnl


This week, Joey and Ralph get real about building a career. They unpack how “first wins” actually happen (Fedde, Tiësto, Laidback Luke moments), why communities accelerate growth, and how to get on radars beyond cold DMs, by standing out, being consistent, and working the “B/C-list” of micro-influential DJs. They also tackle the messy stuff, comparison, imposter syndrome, and rejection as exposure therapy, and riff on content ops: when to DIY vs. outsource live-set edits. Rapid-fire wisdom lands on two tattoos: “Enjoy the ride” and “Consistency over intensity.” Plus: an AI tip for building targeted outreach lists and a nod to the MK “Dior” bootleg making rounds.

How To FINISH MORE MUSIC (and What Labels Want in 2025)10 Sep 202501:03:39

🧑🏼‍🤝‍🧑🏼 Join the Artist Coaching Community:
