Orlando and Bhaskar are on Alok's Controversia Records team. Orlando is the label manager and Bhaskar is the head of A&R and also an artist in his own right. Controversia Records was founded in June of 2019 and has since released tracks from artists like Timmy Trumpet, KSHMR, Bhaskar, Yves V, and many more.

Orlando, Bhaskar, and I talk about the differences between the Brazilian music industry and the rest of the world since it has such a different sound. The Brazilian market is difficult to break into because they're very picky on what they listen to. Orlando and Bhaskar also discuss Controversia Records deals and how they're structured. Lastly, we talked about label marketing and how they grow artists on their roster.

Andrew Goldstone is a music business pioneer. As one of the first employees at Astralwerks he saw that label rise to critical acclaim and financial success in the mid 90’s with his signing of Fatboy Slim and the label’s work with the Chemical Brothers, Air, Basement Jaxx, Future Sound of London and others. Following that, he set up his F-111 imprint at Warner Bros. where he signed Green Velvet and had huge chart hits around the world with remixes of Green Velvet’s “Flash” and Moloko’s “Sing It Back”. After a stint at Ministry of Sound in New York where he signed Fischerspooner, Andrew went to law school and then joined the entertainment law firm of Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks where he worked on ground breaking deals for Madonna, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Diddy and others. At the end of 2012, he moved to Red Light Management to manage Tiësto while also serving as the GM of Tiesto’s record label, Musical Freedom Records. Andrew moved to Deckstar (now YM&U Group) in 2017 with Don Diablo who rose to be the 6th most popular DJ in the world while under his management and currently manages 3LAU, whose NFT drops have generated nearly $20M in sales this year, and Sullivan King.

Egzod, meaning “exodus” in French phonetics, is the narrative of a mass departure of people to a new world where technology and nature are perfectly balanced. Working to empower and unify people through his music, Egzod is breaking boundaries between cultures by merging sounds and instruments from around the globe, as well as a focus on spirituality and meaningful moments built into his productions.

Egzod and I talk about philosophical questions that he has to ask himself in order to produce such an eclectic genre of EDM. He has released music on NoCopyrightSounds, Lowly Palace, Trap Nation, and many others. We also discuss how he builds his community through Discord.
