When a human is inspired by another artist, that's how music has always worked. When a tech company does it at scale without permission or payment, that's a different conversation entirely.

This week on the podcast, Dmitri sat down with our head of new business Jade Prieboy to recap the Music Biz and Mo Forum conferences. They dig into AI voice cloning, institutional catalog investment, the future of artist IP, and why the term "style laundering" might be the most important phrase in music right now.

This week on the podcast, Emmanuel Zunz of @onerpm breaks down what’s actually broken in the distribution and label space right now.

Labels, distributors, and artists are all unhappy. And Emmanuel says it comes down to one thing: a race to the bottom on margins that’s been building for a decade.

The fix isn’t bigger advances or lower prices. It’s finding the equilibrium between quality of service and deals that are actually mutually beneficial.

If you work in music distribution, run a label, or are navigating deal structures as an artist, this clip is worth your time.

Taylor Swift is on a major label. Emmanuel Zunz of ONErpm says she’s completely independent.

Not because of her contract. Because she’s in control of her future.

This week on the podcast, Emmanuel joins Dmitri to talk about what independence in music actually means right now, and why the old definition no longer holds up.

If you’re an artist, a manager, or building anything in the music business, this one reframes everything.

Every creator knows this feeling.

@aryyzona has been posting on YouTube since 2009, built over a million subscribers, and still battles the same thing we all do: separating your worth as a human from what the algorithm thinks of you this week.

This week on the Music Tectonics Podcast, Dmitri sits down with Aryyzona for a really honest conversation about what it actually looks like to build a music career as a creator in 2026.

30,000 IG followers. 6,000 tickets. Three sold out nights at one of Scotland’s most legendary venues.

Most artists don’t know who their fans are. Not really.

This week on the Music Tectonics podcast, @dmitrivietze was joined by @robsealy of @openstagelive to talk about why that single problem is costing the music industry billions and what artists can do about it

You don’t just hear sound. You feel it. When a car drives by, your skin registers it before your brain processes it.

@valsalomaki calls this multimodal perception, and his company is building technology around it.

@edgesoundresearch developed something called Embodied Sound, which turns any material into a surface that you can both hear and feel. Imagine your couch, your floor, your walls all becoming part of the audio experience. They’ve already demoed it in home theater settings and are working with Shure to capture live sports audio at a level that’s never been possible before.

The goal is simple: make music and live experiences feel as real at home as they do in the room

Gen Z is buying vinyl. Not just as a collectible. To listen to it

A recent survey from @midia.research found that 16-24 year olds are the generation most likely to have bought vinyl in the last month. Kids who grew up on streaming are reaching for something they can hold.

This week on the podcast, Olivia Jones breaks down what’s actually driving the analog revival and what it means for how artists connect with fans

The lead investor of Suno recently said she moved all her listening from Spotify to Suno.

Adam Neely thinks that’s a really dangerous idea. Not because making music is bad. But because when you only listen to what you generate yourself, you lose the shared culture knowledge that connects us as humans.

The birthday song. The wedding reception favorites. That’s not just nostalgia. That’s how people find each other.
