So far on Indie-Studies we have been discussing the history behind the indie music movement. From its origins to how these artists have shared their work with the world. But, if we want to learn about what it means to be indie today, we need to speak with some artists currently working in this scene!

To find this we are starting a series of interviews with current artists to learn about their histories, their processes, and what life is like as an independent musician. Today Haz sits down with Vid Nelson to talk about how the scene has changed in the ten years since Vid’s first album was released, taking advice about working in the industry, and facing fear to put yourself out there both on social media and on stage.

Welcome back to Beyond the Drop, ft. DJ Candace. In this episode, we talk about 5 amazing independent EDM artists who's music made me feel something. We also talk about where I am creatively, what's next and what's next for IB.

This week's featured artists are Baychimo, Trnsient, Aku-ko and Kevi. Major shout out to them for allowing us to put their art on our platform, I can't wait to hear the newest from all of them.

*a note!

During the show I refer to the final song played as "Final" and that's the wrong title! It's actually "Ghost" by Kevi (pronounced KV), my bad y'all. Been awhile!

Today we have the entire world of music at our fingertips. Whether you are looking for the latest release from your favorite artist or want to listen to a classic piece written some 200 years ago you can find it in just a few clicks. But not too long ago we had access to much smaller libraries of music, and during this time indie musicians still found a way to share their art with the world.

This week Haz takes a look at the different ways artists have recorded music to share with the world. We look back at the evolution from vinyl records to digital streaming to see how the act of listening to music has changed in the last 50 years.
