I'm Itay Kashti — a London-based composer, producer, and visual storyteller. Over the past decade I've worked with 500+ artists, placed music in film and TV through libraries including BMG, Artlist, and Filmstro, and built Blue Room Studios in Kilburn as a home for independent artists and creators. This is where the work lives.

A few days into the release of Slick on Spotify, and I have to say, the reception has been a really nice surprise.

I originally made this track for Artlist, and tracks like this don’t usually get massive traction on streaming platforms — so I honestly wasn’t expecting too much. But you guys have been streaming it, sharing it and showing it a lot of love, and I��’m genuinely grateful.

Here’s a little glimpse of some of the elements who brought the track to life.

Go give it a listen if you haven’t already, and I hope everyone’s having a great summer!

Slick is out today. ✨

An uplifting synth-pop instrumental made for brands looking to sound as slick, modern and upbeat as they want to look.

But I did my best to keep the human element in the centre of it.

Even with layers of synths and electronic production, I brought in real instruments and live elements — Wurlitzer, real guitars and real drums — because I still believe that human touch makes all the difference.

Especially in a world where branded music can increasingly be created with the push of a button, I think keeping music human matters more than ever.

And beyond the brief, this track is also a little snapshot of my own musical influences and passions.

Huge thanks to Artlist for the long-lasting relationship and for giving me a home for so much of my music.

Hope you enjoy Slick.

Commercial success is only one way to measure a long-lasting impact in the music world.

These five artists perhaps never got the massive commercial acclaim they deserved, but in spite of that, they left a massive dent in the music world. People kept coming back to their music, rewarding them with huge cult followings even after they passed away or stopped existing as bands.

Apart from always liking underdogs, I’ve always found these characters fascinating — from Arthur Lee and Love, to Alex Chilton’s Big Star, to my personal favourite on this list, the Chameleons, whose three albums I absolutely love and still listen to to this very day, and then into the slightly elusive Morphine in the 90s, and the achingly beautiful Sparklehorse.

All of them captured something about the era they were working in. They can all teach us something, and they all gave us a real mirror of our society that deserves to be heard to this very day.

Spent some time at Spotify HQ last week and had one of those conversations that stays with you.

We talked about music, technology, Song DNA, WhoSampled, streaming, and where the industry is heading.

Like a lot of artists, I’ve had mixed feelings about Spotify over the years. But it was genuinely reassuring to meet people who care deeply about music and the future of artists.

It’s easy to focus on what streaming gets wrong, but it’s also worth remembering what it’s made possible: anyone can release music to a global audience, and thousands of artists are now building sustainable careers because of it.

No platform is perfect, but I left feeling a little more optimistic than when I walked in.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Elon Musk thinks that in five years, all the media we consume will be AI-generated.

I think that’s absolute nonsense.

Because humans don’t just want content. We want a human behind it. We want the imperfections, the emotion, the story, the person who actually lived something and created something.

AI will be an amazing tool. But the idea that people — especially younger generations — will happily consume an endless stream of soulless, machine-made content? I don’t buy it.

What do you think?

Part 2 of breaking down how I made ‘Land’s End’

Less talking this time — I’m showing exactly how I layer the elements that build into the second, more expansive section of the track. Big dynamic shifts, lush soundscapes, and all the little decisions that make a song breathe.

If you missed Part 1, I covered the preparation side — what to consider before you even start building toward a shift like this.

Drop your own layering techniques in the comments And if you like what you hear, the track is out any day now on Spotify — search Itay Kashti – Land’s End.
Big thanks to @joshlascarmusic and the team in @evolutionmediamusic for all your hard work making this happen. Thanks @folkies for the brilliant fretless bass.

In this breakdown of my track Land’s End, I talk through one of my favourite ways to create a big dynamic shift in a track.
It starts with writing harmony that already tells a story, then keeping the arrangement simple and leaving enough space for the music to grow. Instead of throwing everything in from the start, I focus on just a few key elements.
Then, when the track reaches its turning point, I complete the arrangement by adding more layers, widening the stereo image and filling out the frequency spectrum.
Often, the impact comes from what you don’t add at the beginning.
How do you create those bigger moments in your tracks?

Funny how we remember the music that changed everything, but forget what it was pushing back against.

Every generation has had a polished mainstream, and an underground scene trying to tear it all down.

Which decade do you think had the biggest clash between the two? Did I miss any good examples?

I really enjoy making these little one-take ideas. Taking one simple concept from beginning to end in about a minute and a half and seeing how much you can build without overcomplicating it.

There’s something I love about keeping the production precise and economical. Just layering the essentials, letting each part earn its place, and still ending up with something that feels warm, human and alive.

You. don’t have to be an incredible singer to make someone feel something. Sometimes it’s just about being willing to tell the story.

I still feel pretty self-conscious every time I open my mouth and sing, but I guess if not now… then when?

Do recording studios still have a place in 2026? I think they do—and here’s why. We live in a world where you can make an entire record on your own, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. In fact, working alone often makes the hardest part even harder: knowing when it’s finished.

Five famous songs that sound surprisingly similar to other tracks — from iconic riffs and melodies to grooves that sparked major debates in music history. Once you start hearing the connections, it’s hard to unhear them. Where does influence end and copying begin? And which ones would you add to that list?

People don’t normally associate drummers with the musicians who take centre stage. More often than not, they’re the ones in the background, providing the groove and holding everything together.

But after stumbling across some footage of the mighty Chaka Khan playing drums—which genuinely took me by surprise—it got me thinking about the connection many female artists have had with rhythm, and particularly with drumming.

So I started looking back at some notable women who weren’t just singers, performers, or frontwomen, but also serious drummers in their own right.

From Karen Carpenter to Sheila E., it’s clear that ever since the birth of popular music, there have been artists proving that the line between drummer and frontperson is often much blurrier than we think.
Which one was your favourite and which one did I miss?

Here I am, experimenting with a new format.

This is a genuine one-take performance of a track I composed in just a couple of hours. Every part was played live once, captured in a single take, then looped to build the arrangement.

It requires precision and confidence, but perhaps more importantly, restraint. Knowing when to stop adding things. Knowing what can be left unsaid. Trusting that sometimes the simplest version of an idea is the strongest one.

I enjoyed the challenge, and I’m curious to hear what you think.

Filming assisted by my new best friend, the DJI Ronin RavenEye ;)

Some moments change culture almost overnight.

From Elvis to Nirvana, these are five events that helped shape the sound, style and attitude of entire generations. Looking back at them today is a fascinating reminder of how quickly music can influence the wider culture around us.

Of course, fitting the history of modern music into 90 seconds means leaving some things out. Which moments do you think deserved a place on the list? What did I miss?

n this video I wanted to spotlight five guitar riffs that didn’t just become famous — they helped define entire genres.

These may not be the biggest chart hits or the most instantly recognisable songs ever written, but each riff contains a whole world within a few bars. They changed the sound, attitude and language of the music around them, and you can still feel their impact today.

Playing them back-to-back really reminded me how unbelievably potent these riffs still are decades later.

And yes — I played all of them myself, so bear with me if they’re not 100% identical to the originals. I did my absolute best to capture the feel and character of each one.

If anyone wants the plugin chains and tones I used for each riff, send me a DM and I’ll happily share the document.

Which riff was your favourite — and which one did I forget?

After a recent comment on one of my videos, I realized I hadn’t included enough female artists — so this time I decided to dedicate the whole list to them. Not because I think women should be placed in a separate category, but because great art is great art, regardless of gender.

These are my personal picks: one influential female artist from each decade who didn’t just achieve chart success, but genuinely shifted culture and challenged the norms of their time.

As always, let me know who your favorite is, who I missed, and most importantly — which female singer from the ’60s should’ve made the list.

On some songs, the bass isn’t just supporting the rhythm — it’s telling the whole story. Remove it, and you can basically forget about the song.

Here are five of my favourite bass tracks from the worlds of post-punk and new wave that completely changed the way we listened to bass guitar. The playing styles, tones and influences are all very different, but there’s definitely a connecting thread running through them all.

These are the kind of lines that don’t just sit in the mix — they drive the emotion, the tension, the movement, sometimes even more than the vocal.

Who’s your favourite? And who did I forget? I’d genuinely love to know.

Starting the week after a long bank holiday with a new brief—building a mood-shifting track for BMG.

Beginning with a pulsating, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, captured in a simple XY setup to keep things intimate and natural. From there, layering subtle synth textures and shaping the track as it moves from something more solemn into a lighter, more uplifting space.

Work in progress, but that moment where it starts to lift is always the one.

From the inception of punk in the 70s, some guitarists made us think of the instrument differently. They weren’t chasing complexity or flash — they were after something distinctive.

These five riffs capture how that mindset moved through the decades, how it evolved, and how it became part of the sound of modern guitar music.

I played these riffs in isolation—pretty rough, honestly—and I hope they still do the originals justice.

Curious which one lands most for you, and what you’d add to the list.

Five guitarists, in no particular order, who I feel made a real difference to the landscape of popular music over the past few decades. I’m aware some of them aren’t exactly young, and maybe that says something about my own taste—it might even come across a bit dated. But I think it’s important to understand the roots of where things come from.

For me, this list is about people who truly pioneered something—artists who heard things differently, did something no one had quite done before, and brought a distinctive voice to their work.

There’s also one key thread running through all of them: they were songwriters first. And to me, that’s the defining trait of a great guitarist—whether you’re serving the guitar, or serving the song.

I’d genuinely love to know—who’s your favourite guitarist from the list? And more broadly, who did I miss? Who would make your top five?

That classic indie rock sound never really dies. A strong riff, a solid, organic groove, a pulsing bass, and just enough synth movement—it never seems to go out of fashion.
From a legacy band like Pixies to newer acts like Bar Italia, it’s always carried that same sense of passion, lifeblood, and yearning.
If you’re looking to tap into that sound, you’re in the right place—DM me “indie”.

I’d bet at least 50% of creatives would choose a meaningful legacy over a better bank statement.

The truth is, being “good” creatively isn’t something you can clearly measure.
You can study it… or not.
You can follow a path… or make your own.

Which means almost anyone can step in and create.

But that also leads to something else:

A lot of creatives end up accepting low pay, bad terms, and years of uncertainty—
all in the hope of building something that lasts.

So I’m curious—

Are you doing this for the lifestyle…
or for the legacy?

First in what might become a series.
The idea is simple — covers that map my taste, and eventually my take on modern pop songs.
Starting with True Faith felt right. It’s a masterclass in restraint. Bernard Sumner tells a deeply personal story using the plainest language imaginable — no metaphor, no flourish — and somehow the emotional journey lands more vividly than most songs that try ten times harder. That’s the kind of writing I keep coming back to.
Big thanks to @jonnycosmonaut for the wonderful camera work.

What I love about working to briefs—especially for film & TV—is how they push me out of my comfort zone and back into styles I don’t always explore.

This one started as a soul/funk request from a music supervisor.

Here’s a quick look at how I built it, step by step. Drums by @morsofer !
Thanks @roee_bet for the bass rig! Sounds amazing.

In this video, I break down why platforms like Spotify and Apple Music are changing the rules. My advice? Artists should focus on direct fan relationships to own their revenue. Keep it personal, keep it yours! #musicbiz #spotify #artistadvice #indieartist #contentstrategy

I made a video about the topic on using reference tracks. I think it’s quite an important topic that often gets overlooked. On this excerpt, I show why not to reference too soon — or you might end up writing towards someone else's song instead of your own. Robin Thicke and Pharrell found out the hard way with Blurred Lines. Inspiration is a tool, not a blueprint. Full video on Youtube - Link in bio!

I've spent over a decade writing and producing music for film, TV, and media — building a catalog that spans oraganic, human sounding folk indie, post-punk, electronic, and orchestral genres. Alongside the music, I shoot and direct video content, create original series for social platforms, and work with artists at every stage of their creative process through Blue Room Studios in Kilburn, London.

Whether you're a music supervisor looking for sync-ready tracks, an artist seeking production and development, or a brand in need of original content — this is where it all lives.
