Forward thinking isn’t a sound, but a mindset. In this episode, I break down the tension between nostalgia and progress in drum & bass, why forward thinking is always relative to the present, and a simple checklist for making music that pushes the language forward without losing its roots.

winsnotes 2.0 starts here. For the last few years, my channel has been a mix of tutorials, plugins, and production talk. Still, offline, I’ve been trying, and somehow succeeding, to build a real life as a working artist: writing records, playing nights, and taking the music seriously. In this episode, I explain what’s changing, why I can’t do both lanes at once, and how I’m using YouTube going forward: work first, conversation second.

It’s easier to feel like you belong when you see someone who looks like you, coming from where you came from, doing the thing you want to do.

We should embrace everyone’s differences. Not just on a musical level but a human level. We all have our own stories and unique look at the world around us, and that informs everything we put into this culture. The music, the media, the raves. Drum and bass or not, we’re all people and the people are what make this culture what it is. Seek to understand and involve people from different backgrounds than you.

Be inclusive, not exclusive. Dubs are exclusive - The Rave should be inclusive.

We're back! It's been a minute and I missed you too. Here's a recap episode to bridge the gap between the last one. Loads of music, the hospitality/London summer, and another round of Mr. Winslow. Anywho, you know how it goes now. Headphones on, finish those dirty dishes in your sink (ahem...), and listen to Mr. Winslow tell you a story.

Answering a listener's question about how we can create original music while still fitting into a scene/sound/genre. IMO, there are a couple of steps to consider and I try to break them down in my usual round-about analogy-filled way. Shouts out to @audbl2 on Twitter for the question! Anywho, you know how it goes now. Headphones on, finish that puzzle that's been laying on your living room table (ahem...) and listen to Mr. Winslow tell you a story.
