9 | Matias Quintero: Collaboration, Education, and Tech House

Coming to us from Lima, Peru, today's guest Matias Quintero blesses our show with in depth tips on how he crafts his bass driven, slow churning tech house productions. Matias shares with us his best practice of using reference tracks to formulate the arrangement of his songs. He also disclosed his unique approach to constructing his recent hit "Cada Uno A Su Lugar" which, surprisingly enough, incorporated a sample off of YouTube! Tune in to find out more as well about the South and Central American EDM scene and how Matias networks with music labels in both Peru and Mexico!

Today's biggest take aways:

Don't hesitate to invest actual cash in your musical education. Learning through trial and error as well as through online can be rewarding but in person mentorship and networking can quickly accelerate your progress.

Reference tracks help you to structure your song and modeling after successful track arrangements will lead to a stronger arrangement of your own. 

Teaming up with a collaborator can bring a song to life that might otherwise be left on your cutting room floor (or in your computer files) never to see the light of day. 

As I mentioned in the show Matias and I were both on the same Spotify playlist recently. Getting your music in front of new audiences via playlist placement is critical in this digital era of music. Artists looking to get their music in front of more Spotify playlist curators and music influencers can check out one of my favorite services MySphera.
