- Getting ahead of Music Producers is not what you think. It's not some crazy music marketing scheme, or some spotify trick. It's not a perfect morning routine, or the most efficient time to make music. Getting ahead of other music producers means doing- what they aren't... In this video we'll go through those things and how you can leverage "doing the opposite" to truly get ahead.

So how do you identify what is a trend for a given genre when there is so much variance with a single record label? Probably a dumb question, but I felt the need to ask.
'you might as well f*cking go for it' one of the best advices I've heard in a long time! This video is a gem on the internet, thanks again Justin!
Agree
Avicii is a golden good example! He risked losing his career in 2013 bringing out a live band on a EDM festival to perform his new music. But it later payed off with songs like Wake Me Up and Hey Brother. Mixing EDM with acoustic guitars, live instrumentals, pop, blues and so on.
Love this one! I did this without realizing it in 2012-2013 and I toured as a DJ/Lyricist/MC/Artist for a few years as a result. Then I got stuck and dove into music production... and then I got stuck again. What I was missing was Cosmic Academy!! Man if I'd discovered you guys back in 2019 when I felt stuck... It would've been a game changer. Better late than never. If you're reading this and you're considering applying for the program, DO IT!! I can't get the past 4 years back but I can apply what I learned at Cosmic now and pick up where I left off. Thanks Justin!!
This is the best advice ive heard in so long, dang near shed a tear! Thanks for this gem!
I don’t remember this piece of advice clearly from our classes so it’s great to get a reminder about this, thanks Justin! -AS
Damn this video almost brought tears to my eyes! Im going for it! Thanks!
great approach not many talking about, but so true.
Great video man!
Thank you! ❤
Thank you!
thanks for the quality content sir
Words! 🔥🔥
I've applied for the academy, I am hoping to join in 😊
beautiful video
Not sure if blending Jazz and Techno is contrarian enough...? Then again, Idolizing Jeff Mills and seeing him heading in that direction, maybe I'm not taking enough risks... Oh, did I mention I jam live sets from scratch on synths and drum machines, with no pre-prepped loops/patterns or samples? Feels like I'm in the fish under the sea dance in Back to the Future and feeling like, maybe they're not ready for that yet.
drunk people dont care about whats going on on stage, all they care is how it sounds. You could be juggling turntables with your feet; if DJ GenericMix has more popular sounds, he'll get ahead of you
@@joao3547 agreed.
Although I think it also depends if they can see what you’re doing. If there’s no frame of ref, it’ll be down to the music. But if they can see you making something live, and they understand there’s risk involved and it could all go tits up (and probably will at some point), so you think that would play a part around how they react?
I know honeysmack for example always requests his gear to be set up in the audience so they can see there’s something different happening
@@JonathanRCross I'm guessing it mostly depends on the venue
@@joao3547 yep
It's like what I heard about eminem trying to do the music that would be normal for his time and failing, and then being himself in his expression and his lyrics and receiving the massive success that we know now
I love this video
my BOYyyy
How much $ does it take to join cosmic
u jus gotta fuckin go hard
Create something New: Thats Real Music.
Only thing is you also talk about going with labels not Distrokid stuff so going your own way and still getting signed please elaborate
Labels are always looking for something new and different from what they already have. Anjuna signed our student BEXXIE when they weren’t really signing house music. Our student Nostalgix was the first female on Confession and nothing like their other artists. You can be different/new/unique and still sign to great labels.
noisia did those skrillex sounds btw
In the states I’m noticing a big uptick of popularity in Latin music and country. Avicii sort of used elements of country, would be cool bringing that same energy into melodic techno. Could be a big risk for an artist to take but I think a lot more people would connect with the music if the lyrics were more relatable.
What about labels ... ? Would labels sign a different track ? .. usually they reject if it doesn't fit their style or sound 🥲.... And in one of your videos you talked about not self releasing and just releasing it with a label.
Thats a good question but I think it depends on the label perspective. There are some labels that are looking for something original, it's hard to find them and as always you also need some luck but they are there😅 im based in Argentina and with melodic techno I can say symbiosis.rec is open minded in what they receive. The EP I signed with them "Game Sense" was really something different from what you would expect and they liked it as soon as they listened to it.
It doesn’t matter, if is good they will sign it.
What does it mean good? Just ask yourself if you were in a big party with friends and girls do you think that if you play your song people will go crazy or will ask you to repeat it or something?
@thecompany2836 that's complicated to determine. I never thought crowd would dance so hard my track until I saw it... I think you can't accurately predict that because what you suggest is approached by ego
Well, then I will never get ahead of 99% of music producers, I guess.
I don't want to make music to be successful by thinking about what new style I can generate that many other people will like. I want to make music that I like. I already have my own style, but I doubt whether many people will like it. But I like it.
TAKING RISK :)ITS MY FVRT I DID THAT BUT RISK IS NOT ALWAYS WORKING .IF IT DIDN'T WORK ITS SO PAINFUL BUT I AGRY WHIT ALL THINGS THAT YOU SED , ME AFTER I LOST EVERY THING FOR BING A FIRST PERSIAN DJ IN DJ MAG I FLY TO USA PLAY LOTS OF SHOWS BT BCUZ OF BE ING ALON AND HAVING NO $ LEFT AND AFTER 8 YERS OF STRANGLING WHIT HARD LIFE OF BEING REFUGY I END OF COMING BACK TO MY HOME TOWN IN IN IRAN AND NOW WHIT ALL THE SECTIONS I EVEN CANT BUY THIS CURS BUT PLEAS DO MAKE MOR YT VIDEOS CUZ THIS IS ONLY WAY THAT I CAN KEEP UP AND STAY UPDAYT THATS WAY I WANNA THANK A LOT FOR THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY
