🔊 They dive into the stories behind Chloe Lilac’s “Supermoon” and Sam Short’s “Aphrodite,” revealing Joe’s favorite production tricks, vocal chains, and mixing hacks. Plus, Joe shares lessons from collaborating with MGK, Travis Barker, Kiana Lede, and others — and why finding the right balance between organic and modern sounds is key to a killer record.

🛠️ Plug-in talk, gear favorites, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is trust your gut.

If you’re into modern pop, alternative production, or just want to learn how to make drums hit like they mean it, this episode is a must-listen.
