Episode 108 - Scott Hajduk (Bunker Brewing)

Episode 108 - Scott Hajduk (Bunker Brewing)

This week’s featured artist is Scott Hajduk. We came to learn of Scott through his work with Maine’s own Bunker Brewing, but not only is he a talented designer but a great DJ. A man dedicated to his craft who continues to evolve and teach himself new tricks of the trade whether it’s with his label or on the turntables.

We take time to discuss his evolution and his self taught style for both crafts. We touched on crate diving for rare records, how he came to love Vacationland and it becoming his home as well as what to expect when catching one of his sets and the related vibe which is dynamic and organic depending on the location, date or time of day. 

The two of us vibed and had a lot in common. Given my new interest in spinning, I was able to take in a lot about his perspective and approach to things albeit digital v vinyl. His love of music and being true to himself was very apparent and something that I really respect. I look forward to celebrating together in the future and sharing that positive energy.

Episode 90 - Matt "Varnish" Taylor (Brouwerij West)

Episode 90 - Matt "Varnish" Taylor (Brouwerij West)

This week's featured artist is Matt "Varnish" Taylor, the Grammy Award winning founder of Varnish Studio. We came to learn of Matt through his work with Brouwerij West, but his portfolio is rocking and vast including the likes of Trey Anastasio (Phish), Red Hot Chili Peppers (won his Grammy for Stadium Arcadium album art), The Bruery, Lost Abbey, Coda Brewing, World of Warcraft, Paris Hilton, Roadhouse Brewing, Flying Machine Brewing and honestly so much more including Tim Burton to name drop a few.

Matt is a proud father whose story shows that through hard work and passion you can do great things. He is a natural story teller and some of them are great insights and behind the scenes that mix dedication, luck, life and passion to create a great story of a designer who loves his family and his job and is following his path to bring all of these things to life.

His crazy wearing a ton of hats photo had me wondering what was to come of this episode but it’s perfect for our 90th. Great insight for those who are starting out as well as those of you who are in the thick of it. Inspiration is all over this one.

Have a great weekend. Enjoy this one and thank you all for being a part of this journey together. Look for the announcement soon on our 9th Season of artists and don’t be a stranger.
