#126 Regal: Pressure and success, “It’s a matter of how you manage it”

The pandemic is a topic of conversation we studiously avoided for the first year or so of the podcast, it just seemed a bit boring and predictable. It was shit, basically, and there's only so much you can say about being locked inside for 18 months.

But what if you suddenly became a successful DJ in 2019? That was some of the worst timing possible, and must've posed a series of challenges to keep it going, both professional and psychological.

This week's guest had to deal with exactly that scenario, and he just about managed to come out of the other side. The pressures of success aren't intuitively easy to imagine from the outside but this particular case probably isn't that hard to empathise with. Work for years to achieve your dreams, manage to do it, and then face the prospect of it all going up in smoke through the most bizarre social circumstances in living memory.

Don't worry though, it's not all Covid chat this week, we also get into the music, some technical stuff, more discussion of the state of Techno today (the main theme of the show in recent weeks), and some much-needed detail on the scene in Spain.

Regal is a great guy and you're gonna enjoy this one!

If you're into what we're doing here on the pod then you can support the show on Patreon! There are two tiers - "Solidarity" for $4 a month, which features the show without ads, regular bonus podcasts, and extra content. And "Musicality" which for a mere $10 a month gets you all the music we release on Hotflush and affiliate labels AND other music too, some of which never comes out anywhere else.

You can also make a one-off donation to the podcast using a card, with Paypal, or your Ethereum wallet! Head over to scubaofficial.io/support.

Plus there's also a private area for Patreon supporters in the Hotflush Discord Server... but anyone can join the conversation in the public channels.
