Write Record Release Repeat – Details, episodes & analysis

Episode 1

Hosted by Dirk Darmstaedter and Salim Nourallah, *Write Record Release Repeat* delves into what keeps us up at night—songwriting, recording, life, staying sane as an artist, and whatnot. Monthly transatlantic (Hamburg | Dallas) conversations across time zones, insights, stories, flotsam and musings—by musicians, for musicians.

In our very first episode, longtime friends Dirk (Hamburg) and Salim (Dallas) delve into the origins of our friendship, how we first connected through music, and what led us to start this podcast. We chat and touch on the (r)evolution of recording, touring life and how artists adapt to an ever-changing industry - all while trying to keep our heads together, stay creative and keep going.

From running labels to producing albums to surviving on the road, we reflect on what it means to make music in 2025. We look forward to delving deeper in future episodes.

But here's where we start. See you soon.
