Karl Pilbrow: 'Progressive opened a completely different door for me' | Super Progressive 039

On this week's episode, we are joined by another Australian rising star in the progressive underground... Karl Pilbrow! Forming a solid production duo with legend Kasey Taylor, Karl has had releases on Sudbeat and Vapour and has been supported by Hernan Cattaneo, with many more projects coming up in 2025. I got the chance to meet and hang out with Karl during ADE, and I found him to be a really nice, positive, chilled out guy who above all else loves progressive underground music and culture. In short, he cares about what truly matters. I hope you enjoy this interview! 00:00 - Intro02:28 Australian progressive scene07:35 - Working a full-time job15:21 - Drum & Bass beginnings and progressive house introduction18:41 - Strategies for discovering new music20:10 - Skateboarding24:42 - Beginning to DJ27:32 - Developing confidence as a DJ30:39 - Favorite headphones31:32 - Preparing music34:43 - Learning with Kasey Taylor and Jamie Stevens40:05 - Production tools & resources45:05 - Releasing music on Sudbeat and Vapour52:32 - Production routine and finding balance56:41 Future projects58:42 - Wildwood podcast seriesFollow Karl PilbrowInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/karlpilbrow/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6AaY6tG4cHvpqjquDMRasfSoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/karl-pilbrowWildwood SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/wildwoodpodcastseriesFollow Super Progressive: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/superprogressive/?hl=enSpotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5vo7k99U183tW0lwqsWqQ7SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/superprogressive#dj #progressivehouse #housemusic
