Your music might be good enough but that's no longer the only thing that matters...

In episode 4 of Line-In, we sit down with Jerry Cavendish Agar: Talent Scout and A&R at independent UK record label Origins Inconclusive, to talk about what it actually takes to work as a scout, how he got his foot in the door with no industry contacts and what he looks for when looking for emerging artists.

Topics covered:

→ Why tech house and drum & bass are commercially bigger than they've been in 20 years: Chase & Status, Sub Focus, Wilkinson, and the DJ economy

→ The rise of sober raves and what it says about why people actually go out for music

→ AI-generated music - why people in the industry are largely avoiding the conversation, and what Jerry actually thinks

→ Whether independent labels are on course to overtake the traditional model→ Why artists managing themselves without a label is becoming a genuine and growing option→ The future of live music as a discovery and networking tool

→ How social media virality without brand identity leads artists nowhere→ What "artist development" will look like in five to ten years

and much more...

FAT SALAD: South London's most exciting indie rock band, join Line-In Network for a straight-talking conversation about music, money, and what it genuinely takes to move up in the industry.

Singer Aydan Godden and lead guitarist Elliott Godden pull back the curtain on life as an independent band: the financial realities, the grind behind sold-out London shows, headlining festival stages, and collaborating with top-tier production talent. They also share hard-won advice for any musician questioning whether to keep going and why the answer should always be yes.

Part career breakdown, part masterclass, part brotherly banter, this is one for anyone serious about making music their life.

New episodes every fortnight. Follow Line-In Network so you never miss a drop.
