Diamond Pistols on bbno$, Yung Gravy & the Wild Art of Sound Design


Listen Later

In this episode of Producer Points, Justin sits down with Christian Dold—better known as Diamond Pistols—for a deep dive into his explosive production style, his viral hits with bbno$ and Yung Gravy, and the mindset shifts that took him from bedroom beatmaker to in-demand hitmaker. From crafting the viral smash “edamame” to shaping Yung Gravy’s “C’est La Vie,” Christian shares how he keeps his sound simple, bold, and wildly effective.

They talk:🎧 The making of “edamame” and why the horns were an accident
🎧 How a Baja Fresh trip inspired one of his biggest tracks
🎧 Why fewer layers = better mixes
🎧 Favorite gear, plugins, vocal chain, and mixbus philosophy
🎧 Lessons from working with artists like Rich Brian and Baby No Money
🎧 Why building with indie artists changed his life—and his finances

Plus, Diamond Pistols gives rapid-fire takes in the "Plug or Unplug" segment and shares what advice he’d give his younger self walking into his first L.A. sessions.
