HoS 128: Kander's Interview | Home of Sound

In this episode, Kander (Alex) traces his roots in Manchester's DIY jungle and drum & bass scene, discovering production almost by accident in high school, and how thirteen years of trial and error shaped his sound. He talks candidly about the moment Kobosil signed his breakout EP on 44, the risk of turning down a VA slot to hold out for a full release, and why he still treats making music as "producing with purpose" rather than opening a blank project and hoping.The conversation also covers a rough professional dip — losing bookings after stepping back from social media and self-promotion — and the team effort (including hiring dedicated social media help) that brought his career back. Kander reflects on curating for label Teletech without letting personal taste get in the way, and closes with a candid take on how influencer culture is reshaping who gets booked in dance music today.If you enjoyed this interview, want to support this series and take your music production skills to the next level, check out our online masterclasses athttps://www.homeofsound.co.uk/?affcode=663761__t0zs7xvSign-up to receive weekly updates to level up your production skills:https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/1156751/166422025835906742/shareKander:IG: https://www.instagram.com/kander.infoSC: https://soundcloud.com/kan-derHoS:IG: https://instagram.com/home_of_soundHome of Sound is a virtual Home to meet, connect and learn through sound.Learn directly from artists like Rødhåd, Blawan, Temudo, Rene Wise, Daniel Avery, Kangding Ray, Phase Fatale, Ansome, Shifted, Freddy K, Lady Starlight, Setaoc Mass, Olivia Mendez, Red Rooms, TWR72, Kameliia and many more.
