Tom Staar & Mark Maitland | Why Making Music Together Beats Remote Sessions

This week’s episode, we have the pleasure of hosting Tom Staar & Mark Maitland, who join us to discuss various aspects of the music industry. From DJing and producing to engineering and now hosting and organising producer collaboration events in Ibiza.
Throughout this conversation, Tom & Mark emphasise the importance of community, shared learning and the need to set aside egos to achieve a common goal.
Tom also opens up about the lock down period and how it allowed him to slow down and realise when not on the road touring he actually had a family and kids at home!
