SP:MC is an MC (ofc), DJ, and producer from the UK, mostly inhabiting the DnB space but who also regularly ventures into other areas of bass music and beyond. We discuss the DnB scene in the US (where he was on tour when we recorded this conversation) as well as in the UK, his formative years MCing with DJ Friction, his journey as a producer, and a…

We have discussed this thread on a few recent episodes of the podcast, so it seemed appropriate to have the man himself back on the show to discuss it. Man Power has been making waves in the UK scene since our last conversation on episode 52, with his parties at the Are You Affiliated venue and willingness to speak his mind on various topics affect…

Our first ever Not A Diving Club event at fabric in London last week was a success. We played a ton of unreleased bangers and had a panel discussion on topical issues with Machine Woman, T.Williams, and Braille. On this week's episode we bring you a recording of the discussion, plus some of my thoughts on a topic close to my heard... relating to th…

Bart Giamatti, and whether gambling in sports now should be viewed differently. Plus, bonus Luis Tiant content.By Agony of Defeat

Back in the 90s, classic records were being released seemingly every week. So for one of your tracks to make it i…

What are we all doing here anyway? That's a question I've asked myself recently, not in purely existential terms so much as continuing to pursue some sort of platonic ideal of dance music. Something that means so many different things to so many different people. Truncate is a key man in the world of Techno, a producer who i suspected might have be…

This is an unedited recording of our LIVE EPISODE at Lost Village Festival in the UK last month featuring Hot Chip's Joe Goddard. We rarely do these live episodes, so sign up to our Discord server to tell us what you think! The next regular episode of the show will be out on the normal schedule of next Tuesday. If you're into what we're doing here …

If the medium is the message then surely anyone closely involved with Ableton over the past couple of decades can justifiably claim to have changed the world of music in that time. Since our guest this week is a co-founder of the company, then his contribution should probably be described as world-changing. And not just electronic music, since all …

The potential of NFTs to save musicians was always pretty tenuous, and the more excitable proponents of the whole thing always sounded a bit too much like they were either trying to convince themselves about it. Or maybe that they were just scamming. Our guest this week is deep in the world of digital art, but doesn't make any bold claims to be eve…

In 2020, our guest this week was named an Artist in Residence at the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Thus we are finally able to continue the theme established on episode 84 with Matthew Dear, a line of enquiry which I know many of you were keen to see more fully interrogated on the podcast. Daedelus has been making music since the…

I'm on holiday currently but since we never actually take days off here's an unprecedented episode of the show with two guests and two separate interviews! Gregor Tresher is DJ and producer from Frankfurt, Germany who's been releasing music since the 90s under his own name and under the Sniper Mode alias. We focus on production in this conversation…

Mike Parker is one of the most singular practitioners of the discipline of Techno as is possible to identify. His biography describes his approach to music as 'experimental and ritualistic' and on detailed listening you'd have to agree. He's also a professor of fine art at Daemen College in Buffalo, and a graduate of the art school at Carnegie Mell…

Stream the video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/WoQuHAjWYMs And listen to Triple Transit: https://push.fm/fl/tripletransit This is the first in a new series entitled Studio Stories, in which I'll be sitting down with a producer and discussing a release in detail. Today I'm talking to Praveen Sharma, aka Braille, about his awesome new LP …

What is future music anyway? And is it any different from the future OF music? Simon Reynolds is one of the most influential music writers of the last two decades, authoring such seminal works as 'Energy Flash' (on acid house and rave, 'Rip It Up And Start Again' (on the post-punk era), and 'Retromania' (on the obsession of popular culture with the…

What do you call a music scene with no name? The lack of a commonly-accepted moniker for the mid-to-late 90s movement centred around Ninja Tune and Gilles Peterson amongst others is a real anomaly in contemporary music. One of the most interesting insights from our guest this week, Mr Scruff, is the revelation not even the DJs themselves referred t…

The pandemic is a topic of conversation we studiously avoided for the first year or so of the podcast, it just seemed a bit boring and predictable. It was shit, basically, and there's only so much you can say about being locked inside for 18 months. But what if you suddenly became a successful DJ in 2019? That was some of the worst timing possible,…

Afro House is not something we've covered in depth on the show to date, but this week we welcome one of the UK's foremost exponents of the form. Kitty Amor was born in London, but cut her musical teeth running nights as a student Nottingham where she and her associates were instrumental in bringing the second wave of Grime, Funky, and other key Lon…

Havi…

Are we partying like it's 1999? I mean what it was actually like in 99, not how Prince imagined it might be back in 1982. Millennium eve was supposed to be the best thing ever. I was beside myself with excitement for months beforehand, possibly years. But when push came to shove, my group of friends didn't even bother going to a rave and spent an u…

At what point does criticism of changes in culture become overly reactive? This is a question I've wrestled with continuously over the past couple of years, but I can't get past the conclusion that if something isn't good then pointing that fact out is never really a bad thing... right? My conversation with Radio Slave this week doesn't pull any pu…

It's the week after the week before.... no guest this week, but a deep dive into my experiences with live electronic music in the audience as well as being on stage myself. And on stage I was, last week in London, Bristol, and Manchester. Huge thanks to all of you who attended the shows, had so much great feedback it's been a bit overwhelming actua…
