Episode #28 Pt. 1 - Tom Frankel - Council Work


Listen Later

Tom Frankel is a DJ, producer, one half of the duo Frankel & Harper, and is also A&R for his respected and rapidly rising record label Council Work. Tom is someone who I've always bonded well with on a personal level due to his outlook on the music industry and the political landscape as well.

As a born and bred West Londoner growing up in a culturally diverse environment - he’s never pigeonholed himself musically or conformed to the belief of sub genres, supporting everyone from Robin Schulz to Skream over the years.

Jungle/Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Garage, House, Techno - name the genre & there’s a good chance he’s turned his hand to it.

We discuss networking, getting your foot in the door, playing the long game & doing it for the love of music and the art of DJing, 3 consecutive seasons as a worker in Ibiza in 2011, 2012 & 2013, his imprint Council Work and the feeling of landing the labels 'Instinct' remix on Rockstar's legendary Grand Theft Auto franchise, what he’d like to see change in the music industry, artists to watch out for & the importance of empowering women on the scene + much more.
