Joining me for episode #26 of the podcast is artist Petrichor, aka, production tutor and music obsessive Simon Stokes. 

Simon has performed, DJ’d and released music under the alias ‘Petrichor’. He is the only Ableton certified instructor in Scotland and runs an electronic music academy in Glasgow, Subsine Academy, educating people on music production through a variety of courses.

Expect to hear about Simon’s early life in Edinburgh and his initial musical interests, how moving to Glasgow and discovering Sub Club gave him an education in electronic music and DJ’ing, the meaning behind his ‘Petrichor’ alias, signing with Soma and releasing music, his creative process in production and how he enjoys working conceptually as an artist, if music in the modern world has lost it’s meaning, beginning to teach music production and opening Subsine Academy, what the courses at Subsine academy include, and advice he has for producers to improve and become comfortable with their own style and sound.
