Hey folks, I just released a new Beyond the Decks Podcast episode EP6 with 170 DNB talent Homemade Weapons.

 

In this episode of Beyond the Decks, I catch up with Andre Delgado, better known as Homemade Weapons—a pioneering figure in the 170 drum and bass scene.

In our conversation, Andre shares his journey from DJing to music production, discussing how he balances complexity with minimalism to create space in his sound. We also go into the deeper challenges of today’s music industry, particularly the struggle between maintaining artistic authenticity and engaging with commercial pressures.

Andre reflects on his creative process, the allure of pushing musical boundaries, and his future plans, including the exciting launch of his new label, Homemade Weapons, in 2025. Packed with valuable insights for aspiring DJs and producers, this episode provides an insider’s perspective on how one of drum and bass’s most innovative artists continues to evolve.

Beyond the Decks is your guide to mastering the art and business of the DJ, electronic and dance music industry.
