Indie Bubble Network

There are brilliant artists all over the place making incredible music in genres we never hear on the radio or have recommended to us on our streaming apps. That is why we sat down this week with Forest Fire, a New York City based beatboxing duo who won BOTH the United States and North American Beatbox Championships.

They walked us through how a beatbox competition works and all the different categories beatboxers can compete in. We talked about how they came together to form this duo, their process of building beats, all the different techniques they use, and they were even kind enough to give a crash course at the end!

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!
