#393 - What So Not — Authenticity, Stillness and the Future of Music

Author: Cameron Branch and Daniel Delby December 27, 2025 Duration: 1:26:20

In this episode, Branchy sits down with one of the world’s biggest DJs, What So Not, for a deep and surprisingly grounded conversation about life, creativity, and the music industry. We explore what it really means to become your authentic self, why so many of the world’s problems might ease if we focused on healing ourselves first, and how quieting the mind can unlock true creativity.


What So Not opens up about the journey of writing his latest EP, the evolving relationship between artists and AI, the influence of Buddhist philosophy, and the realities of navigating the modern music scene. This one is equal parts introspective, inspiring, and packed with behind-the-scenes insight into the creative world.

Ever find yourself down a rabbit hole at two in the morning, puzzling over a strange news headline or a bizarre historical footnote? That’s the territory The Hard Yarns Podcast lives in. Hosts Cameron Branch and Daniel Delby-known to their listeners as Branchy and Delby-sit down with a new guest each week to pull on those loose threads in our culture, politics, sports, and even spirituality. Their approach is less about finding definitive answers and more about the joy of the messy, curious conversation that happens along the way. You’ll hear discussions that can pivot from the mechanics of a conspiracy theory to the nuances of mental health without missing a beat, all delivered with an unfiltered and often comedic honesty. This isn’t a polished lecture series; it’s the feeling of a great late-night chat where no topic is off limits and everything is examined with a blend of skepticism and open-minded curiosity. Tune in for the raw, winding dialogues that make this podcast a consistently surprising listen, where the journey through the weird and the profound is always the point.
