When a producer launches a label, the first release says everything. And with “Do For Your Love,” Notre Dame isn’t holding anything back. The new single kicks off his Paranormal Society imprint with a tightly-produced track that’s already making waves with Keinemusik and RÜFÜS DU SOL. The project is grounded in emotion, but executed with control. It’s the kind of song that tells you he’s been sitting with this idea for a long time—long enough to know exactly how to shape it.

Notre Dame isn’t trying to make a splash with high-concept branding or trend-chasing visuals. He’s building something from his core values as a producer. The label, the song, the messaging—it’s all aligned. And it’s paired with a set of practical tips he says have guided him through the ups and downs of finishing records and finding his own path.

If you’re someone who produces, or just cares about the thinking behind tracks that actually get signed and played out, the production tips below are worth saving. There’s no fluff here—just grounded advice from someone who’s done the work, built the catalog, and launched the label. And now he’s putting it all in motion.

1. Let your environment shape your identity
The people you’re around, the music you listen to, and your personal experiences all influence what comes out in the studio. Listening to feedback helps, but following through on your own ideas matters just as much.

2. Simple ideas work best
Strong production doesn’t always mean complex arrangements. If the idea is good, don’t overwork it.

3. Don’t force it
If a track starts to feel like a chore, it might not be the one. Start something new instead—your energy will shift.

4. Learn the basics of mixing and mastering
You don’t need to do everything yourself forever, but knowing the basics helps you test ideas quickly and stay in control of your sound.

5. Stay authentic
Chasing trends might get you attention for a minute, but consistency and authenticity are what build careers.

6. Listen to everything
Genres outside of what you make can help you see your own music differently. Pull ideas from wherever you can.

7. Be patient
Years of effort often come before any kind of recognition. Keep showing up.

8. Timing matters
Getting your track to the right person at the right time can change everything. But that only happens if you send it.

9. Appreciate every step
There’s always another goal ahead. But the real growth happens in the process, not the milestone.
