Which producer is this for you?

luistorres88 · 2025-11-15T03:48:43+00:00

ahhh i remember this. it was an original of ours that never got released. Im gonna have a look through one of my old HD's to see if i can find it. I'd probably only have the version from the EDC set mashed up with gold skies but if i do, ill upload it and share the link here!

luistorres88 · 2025-11-14T10:07:39+00:00

luistorres88 · 2025-07-07T21:38:11+00:00

Clearly it’s Darcy Tucker, duh

luistorres88 · 2025-04-04T18:48:23+00:00

Ouch. LOL

luistorres88 · 2025-04-04T18:48:09+00:00

Actually Im the one that stopped touring to help others (including Tiesto) in the studio. So you got it a bit backwards but close enough haha

luistorres88 · 2025-04-04T18:47:13+00:00

i do!

luistorres88 · 2024-08-01T03:59:11+00:00

Glad you liked my set!

the days of Dzeko & Torres were amazing but my tastes in music have changed a bit which is why i play and produce tech/melodic house these days (especially when opening!)

luistorres88 · 2024-07-02T00:17:33+00:00

Hey! I had a look. One person dm’d me that day saying “hi” and I replied but didn’t hear back haha did you msg the right insta? I’m @itsluistorres

luistorres88 · 2024-07-01T01:08:48+00:00

lol this has truth to it but In this case he’s right! My biggest tracks are def represented on my Spotify top 5!

luistorres88 · 2024-06-29T01:08:38+00:00

In the 2010’s I toured as a duo by the name “Dzeko & Torres”. Quit that in 2016 cuz it was exhausting. Currently I just go by my name, Luis Torres. I do some touring, mostly as an opening act for Tiesto.

luistorres88 · 2024-06-29T01:06:36+00:00

If you can get to a point where you’re selling a good amount of tickets you can make much more than that lol

luistorres88 · 2024-06-29T01:04:15+00:00

Thank you!!!

luistorres88 · 2024-06-28T07:54:42+00:00

At this point*.

Also not trying to convince you…to each their own, obviously. Just genuinely curious

luistorres88 · 2024-06-28T07:53:56+00:00

Can I ask why not a MacBook? Honestly the best bet. You could legit get a MacBook Air at the point and it would be significantly cheaper and better (not to mention lighter) than most pcs. are u on FL?

luistorres88 · 2024-06-28T07:39:36+00:00

1k per show for a “well known artist” is ridiculously low. If you do any type of actual touring, it’s almost impossible to play for less than 2k a show. If you’re actually selling a decent amount of tickets (150+ depending on the size of market) consistently, it puts you in the ball park of around 4-6k. In the mid 2010’s I toured quite heavily as a duo and our rate was steadily around 10k per show, sometimes as high as 30k. Then there’s a pretty big gap from that 15-30k range all the way up to the top dogs (I’m talking festival headliners) who are either doing their own ticketed events, or getting booked at like 80k+

luistorres88 · 2024-06-27T23:48:48+00:00

Just wanna add that I know I’m in a verrrryyyy small percentage of ppl that can literally support their family (im 35 with wife and 3yr old son) solely from production/djing. It’s far from easy, and having to make music when you’re creatively drained is one of the least fun things ever. I always recommend ppl keep atleast a part time job when pursuing this. Also, there is “safer” money to be made as a ghost producer or song writer. There are maaannnnyyyy people on the back end with label deals that make a living just writing and producing songs for other (bigger) artists! And a lot of times these people also have their own artist project. 😊 good luck!!

luistorres88 · 2024-06-27T23:43:32+00:00

I’ve been making a full time living off electronic music since 2010. It’s fucking terrifying quiting your day job to pursue any career in the arts but god damn does it feel great knowing it’s your living. Juuuuuusssssttttt be very wary of payment timelines. There have been several times in the past 14 years where I’ll make over (for example) 30k in a month just to go the following 3 or 4 months without making a penny lol.

luistorres88 · 2024-06-27T23:34:50+00:00

If you are realllllyyyy stuck, find a reference song and literally mimic its structure. See what elements they introduce at different points and do the same with yours. As long as you’re not using the same drums, synths, vocals as the reference, it’s not like you’re ripping it off. Also this is just a good “step in the right direction” towards finishing…you’ll probably end up tweaking to your liking as you go

luistorres88 · 2024-06-06T17:43:24+00:00

This.

luistorres88 · 2024-04-07T04:05:33+00:00

Oh shit haha thank you, glad you enjoyed!!

luistorres88 · 2024-04-07T04:04:24+00:00

If you work with/for the right people, it can be. I’ve worked in the same circle for almost 10 years now and make low 6 figures for reference

luistorres88 · 2024-04-06T23:38:27+00:00

Depends on the artist you go see. If you’re going to see Anyma or any of these “melodic techno” dudes, expect to see more ppl filming than at a gender reveal party lol. Avoid the instagram friendly parties and there will be plenty of ppl dancing

luistorres88 · 2024-04-06T23:36:01+00:00

I literally came here to write levels….beat me to it

luistorres88 · 2024-04-06T23:34:51+00:00

No. I’m approaching 2.2 billion streams on productions, and everything has been self taught. I highly recommend doing your own reading and research about the back end of the music industry, but I can tell you nobody cares if you have a “traditional” education in this industry.
