SlamCast Ep. 18 - Silkwyrm

Today on SlamCast, we sit down with Hugh Simons AKA Silkwyrm, a bass music producer, DJ, and private lesson instructor at Slam Academy. Hugh is also one half of Seven Swords, a bass music project with Neil McArthur. We talk about his journey into music, from learning instruments to diving into production, and how he balances a technical approach with creative flow. We also explore what Seven Swords means to him and Neil, breaking down their live setup, which includes an electric cello, Ableton Live, and a tracker. Hugh shares insights on the benefits of collaboration, social media strategies for artists, and why consistency and authenticity are key to success. Finally, he offers valuable tips on how to feel more confident in your mixes. Tune in for an inspiring conversation packed with advice for producers and artists alike!
