"The bottom line is that most people don’t have the time or the space or the money to do it": salute on the barriers to diversity and inclusion in music production

UK-based electronic artist salute released their debut album earlier this month, a diverse project that mashes up elements of classic filter house and UK garage with forward-thinking songwriting and Japanese-influenced aesthetics. 

Featuring collaborations with the likes of Rina Sawayama, Karma Kid and Disclosure, TRUE MAGIC injects dance music with a heady dose of pop maximalism. Following the album's release, we sat down with salute for an interview that touched on the artist's influences, their approach to collaboration and the studio techniques behind the album.
