Hard Work is considered a vital ingredient to securing the bag, even the most respected ingredient. This means that things like Ghost Writing leave a lot of people in the industry triggered, even DJ’s failing to mix and resorting to playlist sets have people upset too, and rightfully so! However, is it just as bad as it seems?

Musical Anticipation and Emotional Contagion might just be the key to cutting out hard work and jumping straight to the jackpot, lock in for more context on this week of Interlude’s Journal.

Massive shout out to Graphic Designer @nhoonae & Artist @claudia.dean for sharing their thoughts and opinions on their own experiences related to this topic, wonderful and intelligent people - check out their work!!!

Catch me back next week for another episode, every Wednesday 6PM BST.
