A Mixed Basket of Talents with Hendrick Valera (Braxton Cook, Equiknoxx, Karma Rivera)

Hendrick’s a producer and mixer born in Venezuela, who made his way to Argentina, then to the U.S., and now Colombia. We talked about making records in a global way, the local effects of music scenes, discovering independent artists, and growing musical communities. I’m really excited about the music that Hendrick is cooking up, but I’m even more impressed by his mentality and work ethic behind it all. (And even less impressed by my Spanish at the end. I promise I’ll keep practicing, ya’ll.)For 30% off your first year of DistroKid to share your music with the world click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DistroKid.com/vip/lovemusicmore⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with Hendrick on his:✏️ ⁠⁠Website⁠⁠ ⁠✏️ ⁠⁠IG⁠ Subscribe to this pod's blog on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to receive deeper dives on the regular 🏊‍♂️Tune into my music and surf the different-yet-connected platforms at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ScoobertDoobert.pizza⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🍕⁠Pick up my ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠new LP "I" on vinyl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ in its full spinning colorfulness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ while they last 🎨Vibe checks. Having that energy. First nature. There’s like a weird wall. Gotta keep going though. Layers and layers and layers. And like consistency. Finding things. Making things sound better. To fall in love with arts. Presence known. More diversity in the genres and in the paths. As much music as you want. Wanna do this thing. Entertain people. A lot about not giving up. A little bit outward with it. Solving problems. Expanding horizons. It’s an energy thing. It’s like so fantastic it’s so thrilling and so rewarding. As big as the planet. 🪐Edited by Rebecca SansomSet Design by Max HorwichPodcast Produced by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Beformer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
