Inside The Mindset of a Sh*t Music Producer

Published Copy

Blurb

Disclaimer. This is not a book about how to make great electronic dance music.

No… It's a book about a music producer making what he thinks is bad music and making even worse decisions, repeatedly. Matt takes you inside the studios, the clubs, and the mindset of someone who never quite arrived but never quite stopped either. Part memoir, part love letter to electronic music, this book traces the gap between the noise that lives within his mind and the music that actually comes out of it. All that whilst navigating what it meant to pursue electronic music production in London in the 2010s and early 2020s.

This one is for all you delusional creatives out there. Keep going.

Author

Matt Gough is a DJ, music producer, and first-time author based in London. By day he works in performance marketing; by night (and most weekends) he's behind the decks or teaching DJ and production courses at BAD Studios in Shepherd's Bush. He holds a first-class honours degree in Digital Music from Southampton Solent and has spent time everywhere from the corporate world to the electrician's van, before landing in the world of dance music for good.

Inside the Mindset of a Shit Music Producer is his debut novel, a semi-autobiographical, unflinchingly honest look at chasing a music career in London that hits just as hard and funny as the title suggests.
