In this episode of Poducer, we reconnect with Chef Boyarbeatz for a high-energy, insightful convo about the ups and downs of the touring life, creative evolution, and the state of underground bass music. Chef reflects on how he got his start, switching from house parties and hip-hop sets to becoming a Red Rocks performer, even with a snowstorm pushing back his debut.

We dive into the making of his collab with Combine, his love for drum & bass, and how he’s balancing day jobs, teaching, and planning his first full-length album. Along the way, we talk about production schools like Icon Collective, festival crowds, the challenges facing smaller promoters, and what sustainability really looks like for working artists.
