Back in his university days, the progression to artist management was a natural one for Jack. His first foray into artist management began back in 2011 when he co-founded Evolved Artists representing Trance heavyweights: Andy Duguid, Fisherman & Hawkins, Karanda, Mark Sixma and Talla 2XLC.

In 2015 Jack Broom ventured out on his own to launch 1712 Artists, now known as Elevate Artists (since 2019). Jack is the manager behind discovering 2019's breakthrough artist SOSA, along with him and his more recent business partner Callum Hughes representing some of the finest talent across the House music spectrum:  Aaran D, Fleur Shore, James Burton, Miguel Lobo, Port Manteau, Sophia Essél, Tim Taylor and Waitz.

Jack Broom & I are speaking at Electronic Sound Summit in Liverpool from 28th February - 1st March, I'm also hosting a BOOST Breakfast Mastermind there for more info head to - https://www.electronicsoundsummit.co.uk/

Welcome to BOOST Podcast, with me, Grahame Farmer.

For the past 2 years, I’ve been giving out Tips to DJs via my Instagram @grahamefarmer since then we set up our BOOST 1to1 Coaching service - which is currently going through our first intake in 3 months, we are doing BOOST Breakfasts at the Electronic Sound Summit in Liverpool on 28th February for my northern crew.

Come out check out that Conference

In April, Brighton Music Conference returns again, it was mega last year - and i hosted my very first BOOST breakfast - which is essentially a stripped-down version of my 1to1 coaching - we had 10 DJs in a round table discussion. They brought questions, things i could help them with and answer. Everyone learned off everyone else questions which is the best thing.

Since August 2019, I’ve had this BOOST podcast and I’m excited to say it’s just hit 10,000 listens - so thank you to everyone that’s tuned - i created its a chance for me to give tips, motivation and maybe a few guest interviews along the way.

It’s been a few big 10k recently - i just hit 10k on Instagram, 10,000 plays on this and just run my fast 10k finally going under an hour.

So, we are at the end of January 2020 already, it’s shot by.  How did you get on with 2020 Goals, who’s smashed some already drop me a tweet at @grahame_dt with what you’ve completed so far?

Apologies first up for the lack of podcasts the last week or so, I had some cancellations so didn’t wanna put something rubbish out.

Getting the Right Mindset is going to be fundamental for your journey as a DJ and potential growth and that's what i wanna chat about today.

As one of the longest standing independent record labels in the US, Nervous Records has built its reputation through a willingness to take chances on new sounds and new producers.

The label was famous almost immediately when it started back in 1991 because of its eye-catching, very distinctive cartoon character logo. Nervous’ first major dance release came in 1992, with “Feel Like Singing” by Sandy B. Nervous decided at that point to focus its energy on expanding the label’s musical field. 

I sat down with label founder Michael Weiss and General Manager Andrew Salsano to chat about the label, the stories from the start, how they built the label.  Also, we chatted about how the label has evolved over the last 28 years.  I loved this chat, its full of depth and I learnt so much about the label's history, I really hope you enjoy it.

An instantly recognizable DJ with his unique style and a one-of-a-kind beard, Will Clarke has solidified his place in dance music with hits like ‘Booty Percolatin’, ‘Techno (Not Techno)’ and recent remix of Adam Beyer’s ‘Your Mind’, as well as releasing on a number of prominent labels including Truesoul, Abode, Relief, Drumcode, Sola, among many others. 

Will’s impressive producer repertoire and distinctive sound of rollicking bass, low-slung funk and infectious hooks are all sounds that have caught the attention of industry top players Carl Cox, Adam Beyer, Jamie Jones, Maya Jane Coles, Patrick Topping, Camelphat, and Fisher.

As he heads in to 2020, he's launching a new label, new management and a string of new music. I sat down with him before Christmas to chat, music, setting up a label, setting goals, and a whole load of tips for aspiring artists.  I love chatting to Will, this was a fun chat and its packed full of value for you.
