#108 Nathan Micay: Making music for Netflix, "They said - we need this by next week!"

For the dance producer, a move into scoring film and TV is often a secret (or not-so-secret) career aspiration. Hardly anyone manages to pull it off though. How do you do it? And what is the work and life actually like if you make it?

Nathan Micay has released singles and albums on labels including Aus Music and Lucky Me, but now spends most of his time writing music for projects for Netflix and the like. His CV in that area now includes Industry, the new Sexy Beast series, and HBO's Reality.

So he's a great person to get into the details of the above questions with... and on this episode we do just that. 

We also talk about the dance stuff too though, and get some great stories about Berlin, Berghain, and music making generally.
