Today's guest on The Mr. Bill Podcast is Rob Talbott of Dodge & Fuski and co-founder of Disciple.
Rob's been producing since the early 2000s and came up during the early UK dubstep era, back when scenes were small, MySpace was the main discovery tool, and nothing happened overnight. Dodge & Fuski was a key part of that moment, and Disciple went on to become home to a generation of artists who grew into long-term careers.
We talk about when music stopped being a hobby and started feeling like a job, what it was really like coming up before modern social media, and how slow and unglamorous those early years actually were. We also get into the realities of running a label, balancing creativity with business, and the burnout that can come with doing both at once.
Rob also opens up about stepping away from music for several years, what caused that disconnect, and what it has been like coming back after a long hiatus. We talk about how his relationship with music has changed and why he is enjoying it again now.
This is an honest, behind-the-scenes conversation about building things, burning out, and finding your way back to the thing you cared about in the first place.
