06: The Twilight of Recorded Music's Reign with Bas Grasmayer (COLORS, Music X)

“I think culture always lives [on] … I don't believe that it doesn't matter what the artist believes that their music should be. That's really, really important. But if it's good, if it resonates with people, it's going to be more [than that] because people are gonna sing along to it… maybe people are gonna play around with it…. People are gonna think like, “oh, this song really matches with that [song].” And they're gonna try to mix it or create a mashup. I mean, release is a beautiful word for it because you have to let it go. “ - Bas Grasmayer
