In a world where music education often feels stuck in a one-size-fits-all approach, Protohype’s new school, Futureproof, promises to chart a new path for aspiring producers.
The influential dubstep producer, whose real name is Max Hype, has long been a fixture in electronic music. He’s now setting his sights on education, combining innovative curriculum offerings with AI technology to empower the next generation of music producers.
“Futureproof was created to solve problems I’ve seen throughout the online educational space,” Hype tells EDM.com. “We’ve cut all of the fat and have come up with a no-nonsense, affordable approach to personalized music education.”
At its core, Futureproof’s philosophy is rooted in flexibility and individuality. The program allows students to chart their course by selecting from a range of bespoke classes, including specialized offerings learning production tactics from renowned producers like Steve Nalepa and Hype himself.
“I don’t think anyone who wants to follow their dreams as a creative should ever be put in the same box as someone else,” Hype added. “We all have unique paths and needs, and a personalized curriculum is the best way for everyone to achieve their goals.”
Futureproof leans into the power of technology with Kadence, its proprietary AI tutor. Designed to function as a round-the-clock mentor, Kadence assists students with everything from troubleshooting technical issues in Ableton to brainstorming new creative ideas.
In addition to Hype and Nalepa, the company’s leadership includes online education expert John von Seggern. The trio brings unmatched expertise from the studio, stage and classroom to deliver mentorship grounded in the demands of today’s music industry.
