• 031 : Labels buying beats, Editorial Playlists, UMG & Deezer for artist royalties
    Mar 26 2023
    ☕ pvmm.ffm.to/srp 🕒 Every other Sunday at 2pm (GMT) Welcome to episode 031 with Pueblo Vista and @lazyboyloops We skipped yet another week, however the topics got juicer. There's label(s) out there who follow the "Firefly Entertainment" business model, buying ghost producer beats and releasing them under randomly generated artist aliases. Now that's a twist. What is the future of editorial playlists on Spotify? What happened to all these curators and why has Spotify Japan acquired a user generated playlist and converted it to an editorial? Last but not least, UMG is in talks with Deezer and Tidal about a new remuneration approach (artist royalties). Can they fix the (somewhat) broken system or will it be worse? Pueblo Vista (Paul) and @lazyboyloops (Aaron) welcome you to a bi-weekly session of mild profanity, call-outs, facts, dad jokes, rumors and critique with a dash of insider info and industry pro-tips. Lofi Hip Hop and Instrumental chill at it's finest. At least it's honest banter. 🙌 Follow PUEBLO VISTA // pvmm ▶ pueblo-vista.com ▶ instagram.com/pueblo_vista ▶ twitter.com/pueblo_vista 🙌 Follow LAZYBOYLOOPS // KiwiBear Records ▶ lazyboyloops.com ▶ instagram.com/lazyboyloops ▶ twitter.com/lazyboyloops #sundayroastpodcast #lofihiphop #podcast

  • 030 : Editorials & Verification metaverse, AI sample digging and Spongebob Trivia.
    Feb 26 2023
    ☕ pvmm.ffm.to/srp 🕒 Every other Sunday at 2pm (GMT) Welcome to episode 030 with Pueblo Vista (Paul) and Lazyboyloops (Aaron). The layoffs in the tech world are ongoing. Recently we saw Spotify laying off 8% of their staff. This coincided with a huge delay in editorial playlisting updates. We guess that admin procedures are more important than a few lists. Did you ever get into playlisting? Was it nichy enough to blow up on social media (aka TikTok); we explore the ins and outs of a recent resurgence... Been verified is not the same anymore and will never be, nowadays you can do it even on Twitter, historically the most difficult platform to verify anyone. Recent studies show that if instrumental beats (and music in general) is tuned in a specific frequency - 432Hz - that can have a huge impact in the quality of your life, thinking, sleeping, rest etc. We personally think it's an interesting marketing approach. Last but not least, Artificial Digging: How Google's AI Now Reveals What Producers Sampled. Hot takes on lofi twitter this week. Who's side are you on?

  • 026 : Sort out your publishing, before someone else claims it
    Oct 30 2022
    By now, we don't even know how many times we have talked about publishing, mechanical royalties, sync licensing, performance and recording rights. It never fails to amaze that the only time musicians (lofi / chill beats producers at least) do something about it AFTER there's a controversy of someone tweets about it. Then again, we've acustomed with the idea that ppl dont really read or listen anymore. If your only concern is playlist placement, this episode is not for you. Our podcast format will be changhing ever so slightly, we decided that there's no need to force ourselves to record for 120 minutes, risking sounding boring or striving out of subject. However the format is losely defined so don't really freak out. All 200 of you who listen on a regular.
