Willie, way to go man, keeping it chilled, keeping it friendly and keeping it real with all your guests… You’re doing a great job keep pumping out the episodes and we’re sending love from Vancouver Canada
This podcast means a lot to me. Thank you Willy!
Been listening the podcast for a few years.
I’m addicted to it.
Love this podcast and the guests that he has on!
Unfortunately this is the only podcast of its kind where you can listen to edm musicians but unfortunately this host speaks too much and really doesn’t have a real pov or personality. He agrees with everything his guests say even when they call him out in contradicting himself. Count the # times he says absolutely, 100%, sure or right. Edm artists are also generally not that interesting, petty and are unilateral - anyone with diverse opinions is shunned and it’s hard to listen to them whine on T... more
Willy is good at relating to his guests' experiences, industry knowledge, etc., but his frequent interruptions feel unwarranted and, at times, rude. I'm not listening to this podcast to hear Willy RELATE to superstar DJs — I'm here to hear superstar DJs tell their stories. He's an excellent conversationalist, and has every right to chime in, but I wish he did it more sparingly. My two cents: reflect on the conversation AFTERWORDS rather than comment on every other sentence. The guests are intere... more
I absolutely love this podcast. My life coach Nik Cherwink directed me to listen to it when I was first starting out my own podcast (which still in the beginning stages). But it’s so entertaining getting to hear stories from some of my favorite artists as well as get some inspiration for my own show as my show also centers around the same topic. Thank you Willy Joy for this amazing show!
Always presenting great perspectives, not afraid to address important issues in the music industry and the world head on. There’s enough episodes to keep you busy for a year, get listening.

Billy has really talent to talk with his hosts
Love the show!!!
I am so happy I discovered Back To Back. This show truly brings out the relatable person behind the music and gives me so much more confidence and encouragement as a beginner music producer. Silly asks insightful questions that make the interview fly by and finish off by making me feel like I know the producers on a much deeper level. Listening to every episode, not getting old.
