    Podcast Overview: In this conversation, Will Clarke, Dylan, and Ricky cover everything from their coffee habits to staying healthy on tour. They break down how their SIDEPIECE duo works, stressing communication, collaboration, and the importance of having a solid team in the music industry. They also open up about financial uncertainty, building SIDEPIECE into a long-term brand, and navigating early success in house music. Other themes include breaking through gatekeeping, balancing ego and humility, evolving musical taste, and creating a community that stays connected to the art and the fans.


    Who are SIDEPIECE: While Dylan Ragland and Ricky Mears meant to start a side project, they weren’t totally expecting to create SIDEPIECE, the GRAMMY-nominated house duo that’s clocked more than 362 million global streams since its inception. The two producers – Ragland makes music as fan favorite Party Favor and Mears produces as dancefloor igniter NITTI – first linked via DM in 2019 to share track ideas. Sensing their musical chemistry, they jumped on Facetime. By the end of the call, they’d registered the @youasidepiece social handles and their own figurative side piece had been born.
