What separates a bedroom demo from a chart-ready master? In Episode 4 of The Backstage Guru, we step behind the velvet rope to dissect the 'Architecture of a Track.'

We explore the raw, post-punk legacy of The Stranglers, the atmospheric weight of The American Dawn, and the DIY spirit of Warfield. Featuring a deep dive into the 'final 5%'-the mastering process-we discuss how legendary engineer Dave Cooley (Tame Impala, M83) brought a professional glow to the Warfield sessions.

Featuring: Warfield, The Stranglers, The American Dawn, and a special highlight on the collaborative work of Roman Jugg (The Damned) and Crymwav.
