The Tech House Scene EXPOSED - Chapter & Verse Reveals All!

[@Crossfader]

Big thanks to Chapter & Verse! Follow him here: instagram.com/chapterandversemusic open.spotify.com/artist/5yPVuutf3WAXUt1VqDaN1t?si=kQI2P0-RSfa7kAlY1L8jWw

[@MrUnR3AL]

This is one of the best videos you have made. In the sense it feels like just having a chat with the artist rather than an hour long podcast to get to the same info and knowledge.

[@tarunnow]

True that 🎉

[@Crossfader]

Really glad you liked the format!

[@mpmagnussen]

Too bad it's chapter and verse. Pretty shitty choice of examples. Not exactly a guy who slugged his way through it

[@Leo.VI.]

@@mpmagnussenhaterrrrr lol

[@DJMilesEast]

100 percent agreed. That was so interesting

[@tiwoanandlance]

Wherever you are in your career as an artist, this video is a gold mine of information ! Thank you for being so transparent and authentic, it's rare ! 👏

[@Crossfader]

Really glad you found value in the vid!

[@llamabronson]

This man is a treasure, a great personality and you have to appreciate his attitude and openness! A great example and inspiration for a DJ around the same age to keep trying and aiming towards dreams!

[@Crossfader]

Great to hear this connected with you!

[@bLiNdEDM]

Thanks for giving my hope, im 39 (been producing for 25 years) and just started spinning my tunes. Here I come

[@MrStraightGangsta]

Ive been producing music for 25 years and never done nothing with it even though everyone has always told me I should pursue it, i think this guy might have given me the inspiration I need at 41 to start pushing it out there, thanks

[@konstantinepope]

DO IT! After 25 years there is practically 0 chance your stuff is not gonna be fire! I wanna listen!!!

[@junkshopbeats9188]

I’m 46 and hadn’t DJ’d in years until a friend’s wedding just for fun, using vinyl as I never really transitioned, even when digital was becoming more popular. A guy there said there’s a growing vinyl scene now and gave me his card as he booked services for events from live musicians to DJs. So now I do sporadic vinyl DJ sets (mostly soul, funk, latin grooves and golden age hip hop) for money. Barely got paid a cent in my 20s as often playing out for the love on the underground.

[@bassodysseysa]

How has it taken so long for somebody to simply explain sample clearance like this. Much respect. Great interview

[@ROSEDRiiVE]

Chapter & Verse is the man and will continue to keep growing fast. Class act in the industry.

[@webslinger48]

You said something profound in here. You were asked about the hardest obstacle you faced and you said yourself. That rings true in so many facets of life. Relationships, work, school, having a family... everything. The ultimate hack is not letting the doubts stop you from pursuing a goal.

[@MrUnR3AL]

This is one of the best explanations of the industry I've heard about the industry from a Dj/Producers perspective, The point of sending your stuff non stop to labels no matter how many get declined is the best advice.

[@ABOKASTOUR]

Or you can get blacklisted and they wont ever respond to your future emails 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@ConnorTostevin1]

I would only suggest doing that if you are VERY good and can produce high quality tracks very fast, like 5 a month or something, otherwise you risk ruining a future release with a label.👍

[@CCP-pb5ss]

no.."sending your stuff non stop to labels no matter how many get declined is the best advice." NO its spam & its the worst advice..defected etc that he does this too are actually upset about it being spammed..most companies..anyone..dont want..dont respond to spam..but angelo ferrari who did sign his track 1st.angelo is a good dj w/ a decent self-owned label who actually listened to demos & liked the track..sending tracks to a bunch of labels who wont even hear it is a waste of time & energy

[@lordrotten4673]

im about to be 39 and i been dj’ing for about 2 mths. this guy is inspiration 👍🏽

[@KoiFabiosa]

I came here as soon as I saw C&V's Instagram story about this interview. Great Interview BTW

[@Crossfader]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Ryan-ts9pi]

Big fan of Chapter & Verse's music. And he seems humble and down to earth. Shoutout to Crossfader and Chapter & Verse for this interview.

[@patrick_zak]

Love this! Need more Chapter & Verse, I'm 29, just took my 'bedroom DJ' career to youtube and hopefully can land some dj gigs in the nearby future. Very motivating to hear Barry's story

[@DJ_finnjoe]

I am sure you will do bro! 😜

[@izacmusic7000]

Hey man out of curiosity I checked and what a vibe on the mixtape you released , loved it 🙌

[@patrick_zak]

@@DJ_finnjoe thanks Finn Tbf depressing manchester in the winter isn’t the greatest for motivation at times

[@patrick_zak]

@@izacmusic7000 thanks Isaac! Really appreciate it! I really enjoy it, and it’s a great practice DJing wise feel like my skills improve a bit every time I work on a new mix. Helps being consistent when before that I just had decks I’d only dust and get out for some pre drinks or a party.

[@thisguyrools2807]

I’m 29 too, I just started over a month ago. Just played for a party of 80 people and did better then expected minus forgetting to turn off the low pass filter but it looked like a technical problem so nobody noticed 😂

[@DJ_EVISON]

This is quality! So many valid points, and so honest as well. Thanks for answering our questions 🙌🏼🔥

[@DONPTV]

Some real gold in this for up and coming producers. Class content.

[@jamiebrown6194]

What a refreshing and honest interview. Much respect to Chapter and Verse. Wishing you nothing but the best.

[@brucehollomanmusik]

This my favorite video on youtube atm. Thanks for sharing your story!

[@konstantinepope]

I think there is a lot to gain as a career musician from watching this type of vids and watch loads but this is hands down the first time I've seen someone tell it EXACTLY like it is. And I don't even dig tech house, in fact it is one of the very few genres of electronic music that I can achieve 0 personal connection to. Big ups and thank you!

[@kingofalb]

Man, Barry is such a real guy. I commend him for his sucess and wish him the best.

[@uweschmidt3722]

Super Dope and insightful interview, thank you!

[@thisisdreamshadow]

Love how down to earth he is! The fact that he admitted DJing was not his dream is kind of cool, not everyone follows the same path.

[@Crossfader]

Totally! Everyones path is unique

[@Crossfader]

Whole office is saying it 😂

[@jackedkerouac4414]

The concept of 10 years or 10,000 hours of focused practice is pretty accurate in the creative world. Every artist I know, myself included, didn't start making a living from their art until they put in the work.

[@lxrenzmusic]

What a massive interview. Helped me a lot. Thank you for that!

[@Crossfader]

Our pleasure!

[@TheCarlbrian]

Think this is a refreshing interview and really pleased for the guy, from a fellow Yorkshireman, but as someone who has casually DJed over 25 years id make a few observations: His Journey is extremely unique, he has gone from never wanting to, or even touching a set of decks until 4 years ago, to headlining all over the world, the reason for this is because of the ARTIST aspect of him, and NOT the DJ side. For context, I used to play at the same venue as Daley Padley (Hot Since 82), technically, were of the same ability and played the same music, he was getting nowhere, what he did was start producing under that guise and he had a talent there, all of a sudden he started getting big gigs whilst DJs he played with of the same technical DJ ability were still, like me, playing bars ! The music, the EDM change is normal, americans are introduced to EDM, big commercial sounds and most music lovers of any genre over time want to search fo the more underground / hard to find sound, and they tend to move to underground sounds. Frankly, there isnt an 'underground' tech house sound, it's all fairly formulaic and quickly becomes tiresome, hence many DJs move away from it. In my opinion, you cannot learn to DJ by using a controller, some straightforward record box software and tech house, it's the lowest common denominator. Try with some 121 bPM soulful house that has actual chords, percussion and changes in key, actual songs, do it without any effects and loops and try mix that way without key clashing...then you can DJ. Tech house can be mixed by my 10 year old with a 30 minute lesson, hence his point, no one will criticise if you make a mistake. It's nigh on impossible to make it sound bad on CDJ.

[@redpeople2192]

What a totally sound guy - i really enjoyed listening to him, so open and honest.

[@damiang1089]

Finished my intermediate course with LSA in London and want to pass the advanced this year and start learning music production with them from next year. mixing techno music for approximately 3 months and my missus said she likes my taste of music even when she doesn’t like techno music(Ik she is biased😅). Don’t really know which techno style I should stuck with because I like them all, I like driving,raw,hard,minimal techno as well any advise?

[@Dorillien.]

Brillant video thanks

Great info ...damn loads of work now I've got to do

[@Daniel.Bmusic]

Seems like such a cool dude I could probably sit with him for hours and talk music

[@jamesbuckley5330]

Interested in what you said about sets, if you get booked for a set away from home, do you have to pay for travel and accomodation or do the organisers? Does it vary? Do you ask for it?

[@MadelnMachines]

It really seems like you know what you're doing and doing it well. I've been into DJing since I was 13 and into production since I was in my late teens and always wanted to make music a success for me but never managed made it happen - I think due to a lack of, direction, marketing knowledge, social media / content, productivity etc. When you're talking about people being bamboozled by the things you do on a daily basis and the legwork / donkey work / graft please could you elaborate and explain what this consists of? Maybe some 'a day in the life of' videos would cover this and be interesting? People often say there's no money in producing music and you only use production to get gigs which is where all the money is. You seem to be saying that this isn't really true. I'm curious to hear more about this.

[@leehudson6339]

The wording bang on wor kid. Lee Leeds. Let’s go 😅

[@belamourbeauty]

[@anthonygato407]

its a different kind of economy. its like this self perpetuating party that reimbursemes those who contribute to the vibe creation effectively on a reoccurring basis.

[@allexleyrandmusic]

17:00 how it get a clear license for a Remix that I'm working (Avicii -Without you) I want to know how I can post it on Spotify and Sound cloud without get it down? Or strike?? Any idea guys??

[@andrewverran3498]

Do you worry about playing in key with techy minimal ? Defected sounds like DRUMCODE , your music has to really fit in with their label. PeaceFromOZ

[@jacobstunes]

Intro and outro song please !

[@DJTRWS]

@Crossfader We def need this tune! That bassline is 🔥🪩

[@MarcusCoggins]

could u mix edm and tech house

[@We_Run_Up_Hills]

2:53 I get it! house does sound slow! genres in that range are: (house related) speed house, speed garage, and (techno related) hardcore, psytrance, breaks, and some 2step!! Im someone who likes fast music and slow music (slow = 50-100bpm, fast= 120ish and up), i think house feels slow beause its the slowest fast genre! (under 100bpm your body will subdivide, so you dance twice as fast as the music, wherras in house-dnb etc, you can only dance as fast as the drums)

[@danielwilks1964]

So how do you support yourself?

[@CCP-pb5ss]

i totally didnt think of the scenario where the dj before me plays 4-5 tracks in my setlist absolutely cannot play the same track again..but so many just press play & preset so fck it

[@UnionHouseMusic]

JUST WORK!!

[@mberone8649]

1st time in all my life I have heard a DJ paying for his own flights.

[@shaunbowden5993]

5-6K for a flight to USA? Where the hell are you getting those prices from???

[@jacobstunes]

0:40 music ????😩😩😩

[@mohamedalowisi9589]

If you can teach then you might also have one extra revenue stream etc 😊

[@ruleset]

500 hundred tunes sent to defected? Kind of hard to believe. I've been producing since 2016 and finishing a tune, especially defected records worthy is hard. 500 of tunes seems like a crazy number. I feel like I need to be on drugs or something.

[@dezolatestation]

this 1:30 is based , most of dj's dont rely on who you are,how much follower u have on insta or soundcloud, if u have a good music then the dj's like it, it's all done ,that's really happens to me lol,

[@rosspalumbo]

The "industry" of dance music is a joke. Marketing goons masquerading as DJs. Terms like "content", "shows", and "audience" is all consumerist bullshit. Support local talent and real local clubs, instead of lining the pockets of tour managers, agents, production companies, and "DJs" who see you as a view count or a ticket sale.

[@MickMotionMusic]

just because the local talent can't grind like the international DJ's doesn't mean the DJ's are "marketing goons" and doesn't deserve support. He makes his own music and works hard, the people only give artists ticket sales for as long as their music is good/ the DJ's are relevant. Why should DJ's look at them as anything other than a ticket sale when the entire thing comes from the DJ/artist themselves? they created the value not the audience/fans

[@TheMythOfNYX]

If you start following C&V now you're too late 🤣
