·1 hr 3 min·4 clips

Badger’s remix is compared to “a can of beans without a tin opener,” because it breaks down after sounding strong.

1. Music Talk : Music Industry Interviews, Advice and tips for DJs & Producers runs an episode titled “Music Talk 081 - How to Get Signed to Prime Society Records with GAWP.” 2. Graham Farmer hosts the session, and GAWP joins as the guest who judges the remix entries and explains what fits Prime Society Records. 3. The episode asks which remixes can be released on Prime Society Records and what makes a submission sound like a label fit. 4. Graham says he and the team reduced roughly 40 or 50 entries down to about 14 or 15 shortlisted tracks before playing them. 5. GAWP says the standard is strong because he listens as a mixing and mastering engineer, not only for “the vibe and the identity of the track.” 6. He thanks the people who spent money on plugins, learning, and time to make submissions, and says time is valuable. 7. Scott Gascoigne’s remix gets early praise for extra vocals, detailed sounds, and “lots of energy.” 8. GAWP says Scott Gascoigne’s track “passed the kick test” and feels suitable for the right time in a DJ set. 9. Marty Mate’s remix is described as having “tropical uplifting vibes,” “a really summery feel,” and a strong groove. 10. GAWP says Marty Mate’s second section could use more variation because the pattern stays similar too long. 11. Flash Hood’s remix is called “functional but forgettable,” and the guest says it is missing a hook. 12. Subvisions’ Hard House Remix gets credit for being on point sonically, but the breakdown is judged too long. 13. Damo Cox’s remix is praised for originality, good production, and a groove, but GAWP says it is too far off the label’s level sound. 14. Emu’s remix is highlighted for a vocoded pitch-bend sound that adds a lot when it enters. 15. GAWP says Emu’s track could work as a peak-time piece and would hit hard on a big system. 16. Mizaru’s remix is singled out for its smooth vocal-to-drop transition, which GAWP says is hard to get right. 17. The guest’s delivery is informal and visual, with comparisons to square wheels, pick-and-mix, trampolines, bugs on a windscreen, and toilet paper on a shoe. 18. The format is a fast live listening session with chat reactions, short verdicts, and repeated stop-start judgments. 19. DJs, producers, and remixers who want label feedback will get a lot from this. 20. Listeners wanting polished interview structure or one single track discussion may skip it.
