Your Music Industry podcast returns after a hiatus, with a facelift and a brand-new series full of some of the greatest minds of Electronic Music. As always, the podcast has existed to help you survive and thrive in music from the insight, stories and experience of our guests and on the show today we have Elif.

With huge early success as an international music blogger, fresh talent Istanbul-born Elif covered all the main festivals as a writer until, after teaching herself music production and mixing, she swapped ligging for gigging four years ago as a DJ. As a producer, her first release on Anjunadeep (2019) made her an instant favourite, and her Anjunadeep ‘Edition’ mixes are always a huge success. She recently played their #Anjunaunlocked Twitch stream, as well as crafting an epic lockdown set for Desert Hearts’ City Hearts virtual festival which made the Twitch main page and became the talk of towns everywhere. Also during lockdown she’s written new material – soon to drop on Stil Vor Talent and her debut EP on A Tribe Called Kotori– and reached her listeners’ hearts with livestreams both melodic and

profound.

In today’s podcast, she shares her story covering all aspects including a period as a ‘Digital Nomad’, all the way up to producing music today and the books that have influenced her journey and perception/mindset.
