Getting Your Music On Radio and Beating The Spotify Algorithm; Hausu Records' Colm Explains - #Mabcast 013

This week Dylan is joined by Colm aka Hausu Record’s self proclaimed ‘PR Rat/Not a Manager’.

 

Hausu can be best described as a Cork are collective of artists. Despite Colm’s assertions that he is not ‘industry’, his experience working with Hausu has ensured he is more than capable of navigating the music industry’s numerous hurdles. 

 

He shares his experiences in PR and gives simple applicable advice for artists looking to get their music into major Spotify playlists and national radio.

 

The chat focuses on things such as creating the perfect press release, getting your name out there and how to network. Colm highlights organisations such as First Music Contact that can give artists sound, free advice regarding their music.

 

Dylan and Colm share their initial experiences of getting to know others within the Irish music scene and how you can tastefully get in contact with those who hold influence.

 

With Irish hip hop continually growing, the genre bending outputs that Hausu have facilitated come to the fore front of the conversation. With the likes of Pat Lagoon collaborating with Hausu’s Ghost King is Dead to create eclectic tracks.
