Produced by Gratwick. Guest DJ Midas (Music Producer, Sound Engineer) joins the show. Midas is still recovering from a crazy birthday weekend, but we make it work. Born in Rochester as the son of musician parents Midas was raised on music and adaptability. His move to LA coincided with the dawn of the hip hop era and was a mix of talent, luck and being in the right place at the right time. Midas explains how artists end up with unreleased music and his favorite project. This leads into the greatest indie project that never saw the light of day. Jodeci’s attempt to make a new Purple Rain was chaos and the experience of a lifetime right from the start. Rented out strip clubs, Flava Flav in the Palms recording studio with craigslist girls pounding $25 blue drinks and new relationships that lasted, unfortunately, a lifetime already. Midas shares what life has taught him and the number one lesson he learned from the music industry. Our social paradox is telling everyone to do the right thing when they’re growing up and then destroying their lives for doing the right thing when they become an adult. Midas gives his insight on the Tom MacDonald vs Billboard battle and we conclude the show with a breakdown of the theme song for Gratcast, Leonard Cohens – Everybody Knows.
