Guest Episode from the 'How Do I Music' Podcast: Keep It to One Sentence

Tuesday, August 26, 2025 • Duration 49:23

This is a guest episode from a new podcast we've partnered with called "How Do I Music?" which we think Mixclouders might enjoy.

Xanthe Fuller joins us on the pod and this one's a masterclass in getting your music heard, not burning bridges and real community-building. The Mixcloud Senior Marketing Director has been sneaking into jungle raves since she was 13, produced shows for Pete Tong, Adam & Joe, and Pete Tong across BBC Radio 1, 6 Music and Radio 2. She knows better than most, the do's and don'ts in pitching music.

We dive into how to get a producers' attention, (without sending paragraphs that nobody reads), why online radio is the new pirate radio, and how building global communities around niche genres still works. Hope you enjoy!

Produced by Well Nice Music.
