In this raw and unfiltered episode of the Off The Record DJ Podcast, Chapter & Verse returns to share the brutal realities of the DJ industry. From fighting for festival slots at Tomorrowland and Creamfields to dealing with gatekeeping, industry politics, and endless rejections, he reveals how hard it really is to make it as a DJ—and why most fail.

We dive deep into:
✅ Why fanbase growth beats production talent in 2024
✅ The toxic snobbery in underground dance music 🤯
✅ How to actually get signed to major labels (without industry connections!)
✅ The dark side of DJ touring: sleepless nights, visa issues & the grind
✅ Why he personally funds a DJ competition to give newcomers a chance
✅ What separates DJs who break through from those who never make it

This no-BS conversation will change the way you think about DJing, social media, and building a real career in music. If you’ve ever felt stuck, ignored by labels, or doubted your path, this episode is for YOU.
