#004: Alix Perez — Mentality, confidence and fast work.

The Must Make Podcast is back for 2022 after a year-long hiatus. In this special episode, Jack chats with Dave Jenkins, one of the last great music journalists (UKF, Resident Advisor, DJ Mag, and others), about the process of writing his new album; Set & Setting. The pair go deep on the ideas behind the record (concepts of objective reality, psychedelics, and quantum physics), as well as the artistic struggles of taking on an album project during one of the most turbulent periods in modern history. The main message of the episode is; confront the things that scare you.
