>>61449829

$10,000 from Guetta
>>61449869
how did they approach you? what does the contract say?
>>61449905
I sent a few demos and tracks to Ultra Music, they liked them but not "my appearance" (must mean I'm ugly as fuck and I don't know how to use a CDJ.) They said someone would be in touch with me in about two weeks, got a phone call from Ultra that they wanted me to try out working with another producer, they flew me out to Miami where Guetta was during UMF in 2011. we met, I showed him a track, he liked it.
Signed a contract saying that if needed I will make more, and I can't disclose my name for 40 years after the release.
>>61449905
With Aoki it was way simpler. I contacted Dim Mak after signing with Ultra saying that I was interested to work with one of their artists, sent them the track I made, they liked it, three months later I met Aoki and boom, same thing happened.
Contract was that it is a one time thing, and I can't release my real name.
did they change your tracks or take them as they were? apart from mastering of course.
>>61450153
They didn't change the tracks per se, it was more of synth changes or shortening parts.
It was really easy with Guetta, he looked at it three times.
>>61449811
Did Steve ever talk about his time in the Goleta emo/punk scene? Did he ever hang out with Kent McClard? If so, what was he like?
