Aberdeen-based producer and DJ Nick Cronin, better known as Vagrant Real Estate, joins Chris McDonald on the latest episode of Seasonal Discussions, the podcast created and produced by local media company SZN Media Ltd.
With a brand-new album set to drop later this month, Nick reflects on his path into music production, the moments that shaped his sound, and the collaborations that brought his latest project to life. From performing at some of the UK’s most iconic venues to supporting emerging talent closer to home, his journey is one driven by passion, persistence, and creative evolution.
The episode also explores the changing landscape of hip-hop in North-East Scotland, a scene that’s gaining momentum through the dedication of artists like Nick who are championing homegrown talent and building connections across the creative community.
Now into its fifth month, Seasonal Discussions continues to celebrate the people shaping Aberdeen’s cultural and entrepreneurial landscape. Recent guests have included filmmaker Ross Milne, Hannah Adams of Heyday Digital, and Darren Cadger of Arch 35 Marketing, each bringing a unique perspective on ambition, resilience, and local creativity.
Produced by SZN Media Ltd, the podcast has quickly established itself as a platform for honest, inspiring conversations that connect Aberdeen’s creative voices with a wider audience across Spotify, YouTube, and social media.
