AN INVITATION LIKE NO OTHER...

Dear Friend,

Although I have been releasing records, promoting events, touring internationally and teaching my methods since I was wet behind the ears, I’ve never seen anything anywhere that is even remotely like Producer Dojo.

In an industry plagued by bitter competition, empty hype, ego, gatekeeping and needless drama, the Producer Dojo record label and music community was founded on a shared vision of openness, collaboration and abundance. We teach the Producer’s Path, which holds foundational the truth that one’s creative mastery may progress only so far as one’s self mastery.

Made by artists with artists and for artists, we have relentlessly bootstrapped our way up, over and through all our many challenges and somehow emerged stronger than ever; we are living proof that you don’t have to play tricks or take shortcuts to succeed in music. United we thrive. Music is the source, the light and the message.

Now it’s your turn to join us.

Producer Dojo proudly invites you to stand with us and represent the shared values that make the Electronic Music community special. Let’s pay it forwards by uplifting and empowering the next generation of producers to push themselves and their music higher, faster, and farther than ever before.

Let’s do something together that you can look back on years from now and say to yourself: “Hey, I planted those seeds and would you just look at how they grew.”

LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD

One of the most powerful ways that we can pay it forwards is a new initiative I have dubbed ‘The Advantage’ in which our partners have the chance to make a real difference by providing scholarships to musicians in disadvantaged groups.

As we all know the demographic of electronic music producers skews financially stable, heterosexual, caucasian and cisgender male. While I and many of my favorite producers fall into this demographic I know many talented musicians who do not and the stories they tell follow an unfortunate pattern: hard working, talented musicians in disadvantaged groups face disproportionate hardship outside of the music industry and discrimination within it.

While I strongly feel any scholarships distributed should be merit based, there is no shortage of musical merit outside of the typical demographic. When we hold a public contest for the scholarships and then spotlight our winners I am confident that their talent will shine bright enough to squash any spurious claims of ‘reverse discrimination’. Excision’s recent contest - of which Prouder Dojo was a sponsor - is living proof. The contest format has the added benefit of inciting engagement across social media platforms and provides many opportunities to reach out and create awareness and good will for our donors and their brands.

This setup is a clear win:win for both our donors and the disadvantaged talent they empower, while fitting nicely into the Dojo’s stance of opposition to the toxic zero-sum game theory that plagues the music industry.

Together we will take a powerful, public stand against discrimination, deprivation and demographic skew while amplifying unheard voices and the stories they have to tell.

We want to make sure you get the credit you deserve. After you submit your order, you'll have the opportunity to submit your logo, shoutouts, etc.
