midierror meets...

This time, we hear from David Frangioni a self-confessed non-stop entrepreneur with a back catalogue of work that reads like a whos-who of rock and roll. After overcoming cancer at age two, David cut his teeth in Boston Producing Aerosmith, learnt drumming with Joe Morello, and was at the forefront of the Music Tehcnology revolution in the early 80s, into the 90s and beyond.

David is an accomplished drummer who has his own drumming hall of fame (featuring kits from some of the biggest names in rock) and has been the publisher of Modern Drummer Magazine since 2019. He was part of the first Billboard number 1 made in an entirely digital studio working alongside Desmond Child, and has consistently operated at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and musical artistry.

In this episode, we hear from Robert Luis - co-founder and A&R at Tru Thoughts Records. - running for 26 years and founded in Brighton alongside Paul Jonas in 1999. In that time they’ve put out over 260 records, signing the likes of Quantic, Bonobo, Flowdan, Hot 8 brass Band, Alice Russel, Moonchild, and many more, as well as being crowned Gilles Peterson ‘Label of The Year’ along the way.

We discuss how Rob A&Rs the label, how they’ve evolved since they started, how they make money from sync licenses, and how the minefield of clearing samples has worked (or not) over the years. Rob’s Unfold Radio show has been running for 2 decades, showcasing the finest talent on the label, as well as dropping some of his own VIP Dubplates - well worth a listen. Look out for the Tru Thought 2026 compilation album coming soon!
