Some DJs have a million followers but can't fill a 100-cap room. So what actually builds a career?

Olivia Mancuso sits down with Thatch Sammit, Director of Partnerships at Laylo, to break down the infrastructure behind real fan loyalty in electronic music.

They unpack the 1,000 true fans framework, the fan flywheel, and why owning your fan list beats chasing streams, followers, and the algorithm.
Real case studies: Griz's early access merch drops, Austin Millz' backstage giveaway system, the Dean Turley "Acting Tough" missed moment, and the night Skrillex crashed Dropbox with a Gmail link.

For DJs, producers, and electronic artists who are tired of chasing virality and want to build a career that actually sells tickets and merch.
