Hi Matt.
Silly question: you mention you're in the niche yourself (and apparently have done really, really well with Bandcamp sales), but do you have a link to your stuff? I see the link to your YT channel in your signature but can't figure out if there's a link to your own stuff. I'm a fan of electronic music (as I know some other folks are), so I'm curious to be honest..
I watched a few of the videos. Nice to see a little love for Le Parc,
Full honesty: I had some trouble understanding the videos; not sure if there's an effect on the voice or not but I had to stop and reply the video in places to try and figure out what was said. I also sometimes found the delivery a bit "monotone" in places which caused my attention to wander. Since the videos don't really feature a visual element (it's not an actual face or excerpts of the bands in question), the voice really is THE key element for the channel, hence the importance.
I don't at all mean to be unkind or harsh and I hope this isn't seen as insulting; I mean this only as opportunities that might help increase sustained interest (i.e. subscribers) to your channel.
I personally don't believe that any sort of sustainable financial model exists for musicians anymore. For me, decoupling my music from my income was one of the single greatest decisions of my life. But, that's a personal choice and I certainly won't begrudge anyone for trying for that ever-elusive brass ring. As such...I sincerely wish you well
