From video game music to trance anthems, IT support and near legal trouble, Adam Pracy’s career has taken some unexpected turns.

In this episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Nick Arkell chats with Adam, best known as part of Conductor & Cowboy, about the story behind the trance classic Feeling This Way, his early work in video game music, and the unofficial Sonique remix that almost got him into serious trouble before opening the door to Serious Records and Judge Jules.

They also talk about running an IT business, being self-taught in tech, the power of genuine enthusiasm in sales, and why Adam believes quality beats quantity every time, whether you’re making music, marketing yourself, or posting on social media.

Expect trance nostalgia, retro computers, honest marketing advice, and the story behind the name Conductor & Cowboy.
