    Aug 30 2024

    In this episode, I chat with music producer Joshua Hudes about his recent remix of our song "Slippery Friction." We discuss the inspiration behind the remix, particularly how the vocals screamed for distortion and how he managed to create an industrial drum loop using scrap metal sounds. The conversation covers his approach to setting strict artistic limits and how this enhances his creativity. He shares insights into his fast-paced working style and how he uses tools like Melodyne to transform original tracks into something entirely new. We also explore the intricacies of adding unique effects like radio sounds and experimental reverb, and his admiration for the early industrial music scene.
