Take a look inside the world of UK-based tech house DJ / producer Macrolev as we have a candid chat about his success this year, his lockdown experience, approach to producing music and plans for 2021 and beyond.
This is Macrolev’s first ever interview so it’s an enormous honour and pleasure to share this with you all. The interview was originally recorded as part of a demo for Baikonur Radio which is the reason for playing Baikonur tracks in the background. The full mix without the interview is available separately in the Hot House Hours podcast stream.
Enjoy!
