What happens when a DJ bets her career on the one album she wrote only for herself?

Olivia Mancuso sits down with Sippy, the Australian-born bass music and dubstep producer who just wrapped her Scars In Stereo album tour. Sippy built a loyal fanbase on lighthearted, high-energy club sets. Then she released something completely different. They dig into how Sippy held onto years of moody, personal music before finally committing to an album, and how that decision had nothing to do with strategy or bookings.

Olivia and Sippy also break down when it actually makes sense to pivot your sound, how to build a fanbase that rides with you through career changes, and why chasing virality produces fans who will never buy a ticket or a piece of merch. This episode is essential listening for any artist trying to build something that lasts in dance music without losing themselves in the process.
