Gary J. Robinson is a legend in the British Drum & Bass scene. Today he's the mastermind behind the inventive project "THE DEATH BEATS" merging styles like D&B, Folk and Synthwave.

In earlier stages of his career Gary was involved in very renowned projects such as "RareForm", "PoisonFlow" and some others. He worked for Goldie's "MetalheadZ" label and founded a couple of influential record labels.

Today - besides his work as an artist, label owner and playlist curator - Gary is also an expert in Sync licensing and other aspects of publishing which are sometimes neglected by artists.

In the interview with him we're talking about his exciting biography in the Drum & Bass scene which started on a Commodore Amiga home computer, but we're also covering some interesting aspects in regard to distribution, licensing and playlist submission services.

This makes this episode very rewarding to listen to for every active electronic music producer and/or self-publisher but of course most of all for dedicated fans of "THE DEATH BEATS"
