Podcasts about electronic music podcast

Twenty-five years is a long time to stay ahead in electronic music, especially considering how quickly genres mutate and scenes evolve and collapse. So I sat down with North Carolina-born beatmaker Travis Stewart, better known as the inimitable Machinedrum, to ask what his secret is.Across records like Room(s), Vapor City and now the new mini-album BL00MS, Stewart has melded influences like jungle, footwork, UK bass, ambient, juke, techno, hip-hop and R&B into his own distinctive sound, and always managed to sound fresh and exciting. Along the way, there have been collaborations with Azealia Banks, A$AP Ferg, Tinashe, Dawn Richard and Hudson Mohawke, plus an insane catalogue of remixes: Solange, Boards Of Canada, The Glitch Mob, Bonobo and Johnny Cash (yes — THE Johnny Cash).We talk about the cities that shaped him, from North Carolina to New York to three formative years in Berlin. We unpack how “gateway” sounds can lead people into deeper listening (and possibly — begrudgingly on both our parts — how brostep may have acted as a catalyst for deeper listening), and how he's kept his work connected to his root influences without getting trapped by any one lane.The second half goes deep on independence and the modern music business. BL00MS is his first self-released project after years with Ninja Tune, and he's thinking hard about direct-to-fan release strategies, touring systems, and treating streaming like marketing rather than a lifeline. We also get into authenticity on social media, how to promote music without turning it into a clown show, and why self-imposed limitations inside Ableton Live can be the difference between endless tweaking and finishing a record.So, it's great to be back. Lost and Sound is now monthly. I started making episodes way back in 2018, and it's gone on a real journey since then. Now totally independent, I rely on listeners like you to help keep the project growing.If you enjoyed the episode, follow Lost and Sound on Substack and me on Instagram, subscribe to the RSS Feed, and share the episode with someone who'd be into it. Independent journalism and independent podcasting still run on word of mouth.BL00MS on Bandcamp.

He's a one-person portal into rave history: childhood mornings at Goa beach parties, teenage years in Montreal throwing Canada's first proper rave, a run of records that helped define the electroclash era and collabs with everyone from Hudson Mohawke to FCUKERS. I sat down with Tiga to follow that thread from cassettes and sunrise dancing to global club circuits and a new album that's unapologetically his.We talk about what it meant when house and techno first landed like a cultural shock and how a “punk spirit” can live inside electronic music. Tiga also gets specific about craft: why playfulness belongs in dance music but humour can destroy the trance, and why he once said real DJing is like stand-up comedy. Along the way we chew on  DJ technique, set pacing, reading a room, and the strange relationship between performer confidence and crowd response.Then the conversation turns personal. Tiga describes “vibe fog” as his shorthand for the brutal reality of long COVID and the slow return of basic function and creative joy. We connect that recovery to making new work, including his INXS “Need You Tonight” rework, and to how flow state behind the decks has changed from vinyl intensity to today's faster, bigger, more concert-like parties.If you enjoy Lost and Sound and want to help keep it thriving, the best way to support is simple: subscribe, leave a rating, and write a quick review on your favourite podcast platform.

Techno doesn't need more rules, it needs more nerve. On Lost and Sound, I'm joined by Copenhagen-based DJ and producer Anastasia Kristensen, an artist whose work sits right on the edge between club functionality and something far more exploratory.After approaching a decade in the spotlight, her debut album Bestiarium Sombre (out 8 May on Intercept Records) is the perfect entry point into that mindset. Every track is tied to an animal, some real and some imagined. Anastasia uses this as a tool for storytelling, sound design, and rhythm choices that feel tactile, dark, and playful. Anastasia breaks down how field recordings and found sounds become musical material, how a hydraulic mechanism can turn into a “whale”, and why not overthinking is sometimes the most disciplined creative choice.We also get into the lived reality around the work: touring and crowd connection, how she prepares music without over-preparing a set, why atmosphere and darkness change what people hear, and what it meant to clarify her Ukrainian background after 2022 while staying focused on meaningful local action. We finish with thoughts on AI in music, not as an artistic replacement but as a wider economic and climate question, plus where she wants to take her sound next.If you enjoy Lost and Sound and want to help keep it thriving, the best way to support is simple: subscribe, leave a rating, and write a quick review on your favourite podcast platform.

Episode 200 calls for a guest who thinks towards the future. DJ and musician Yu Su has a composer's ear for detail and a chef's instinct for serving up textured sonic platters.We talk about sound as material, about burning and melting ideas down, then reshaping them into something new, and about why minimal arrangements can feel more dynamic when every layer has room to breathe. Along the way we get into dancefloor culture as a sensory ritual, the strange power of rules and instructions, and Yu Su's “polyphonic eating” dinners where silence becomes part of the experience.Yu Su's story stretches from Kaifeng to Vancouver to London, with early years of classical piano and a lasting love for Debussy that later makes sense as a bridge to ambient, dub techno, minimal tech house, and leftfield club music. She explains why certain styles only click with the right context, how an early electronic music experience at a Floating Points night rewired her ears, and how she learned production by reverse engineering beats until the logic revealed itself.If you enjoy Lost and Sound and want to help keep it thriving, the best way to support is simple: subscribe, leave a rating, and write a quick review on your favourite podcast platform.

Alexis Taylor has somehow racked up 25 years now as a founding member of Hot Chip and is about to release his seventh album, the rather magnificent Paris In Spring. How did that happen?I spoke to Alexis about balancing songcraft with production. We talk about how a busy year sharpened his focus, why finishing isn't real until the music meets an audience, and how a strong melody and a few true lines can carry a track across any arrangement.Alexis opens up about writing from feeling without turning songs into diary entries. He shares the stories behind darker cuts that circle self-distraction and drinking without exploiting pain, and he explains how Scott English's Brandy and pop's long history of reinvention influenced his approach. We get into one about how to approach covers: taking the Stones' Wild Horses into a dub-soaked slow-burn shaped by Rhythm & Sound textures and Euro-pop reggae echoes, built with producer Pierre Rousseau and recorded at Nicolas Godin's studio.We also rewind to early London shows and why refusing the uniform of the era helped Hot Chip find its own lane—irony beside tenderness, dance beside detail, authenticity without cosplay. From Beastie Boys devotion to Royal Trux revelations, Alexis maps the influences that mattered and how they were absorbed rather than imitated.Alexis Taylor on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/alexishotchip/?hl=enAlexis Taylor on Bandcamp:https://alexistaylor.bandcamp.com/album/paris-in-the-springHuge thanks to Audio-Technica – makers of beautifully engineered audio gear and sponsors of Lost and Sound.

Katja, besser bekannt als DJ Pandora, zählt seit vielen Jahren zu den prägenden Figuren am Wiener Drum & Bass-Himmel. Kaum eine Künstlerin der Szene hat einen derart langen Atem bewiesen und über so viele Jahre hinweg kontinuierlich Veranstaltungen organisiert - „diszipliniert“, wie sie selbst sagt. Nun steht für sie ein neuer Lebensabschnitt bevor. Ein „Switch“, könnte man sagen - im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. (superfly.fm)

EDC – Danny Jarvis: 3rd Birthday Anthems Mix Three years of Early Doors Club has delivered some huge dancefloor moments - where underground energy meets pure nostalgia. Every gig has its magic, but there are always those special tunes: a cheeky remixed classic dropped at just the right moment, catching the crowd off guard and lifting the room.This closing set didn't mess about.It's packed with reworked gems from the early '90s, with a special nod to 1996 - celebrating the 30-year anniversaries of records I was playing first time round. It was an EDC Anthems night, after all.If you were there, press play and relive the feels.If you weren't… this is what you missed.

We're still buzzing that we handed over Room 2 to someone who lives and breathes the music – the brilliant Neil Craven.“Initially falling into dance music through the sounds of the late Larry Levan and Frankie Knuckles and loving the soulful house and disco sounds they played, it progressed into a love of pretty much all forms of dance music,” says Neil.From the Old Skool 88–92 Acid House era to the early progressive sounds of labels like Stress, Jackpot, Bedrock and Skinnymalinkey, Neil's DJ journey started in 1994, took a 17-year pause, and reignited in 2014. Since then, he's been building back with serious groove – playing everything from House, Techno and Progressive to Disco, Edits and Old Skool.Room 2 is all about eclectic sounds, deep, diverse, and full of heart. A true selector doing it for the love.Here's a Nu Disco mix to keep you all tapping those toes!Tracklist 1.⁠ ⁠Supershy ft Vula - Take My Time (Club Edit) 2.⁠ ⁠Art Of Tones - Crazay (Funk District Remix) 3.⁠ ⁠Chemise - She Can't Love You (PDM Remix) 4.⁠ ⁠David Morales - Ain't Nobody (Extended Mix) 5.⁠ ⁠Young Punx ft Lexa Hill - Kiss Of Life (Extended Mix) 6.⁠ ⁠Mark Lower ft Alexandra Prince - Paradise (Extended Mix) 7.⁠ ⁠Angelo Fererri - Funky Lovers (Original Mix) 8.⁠ ⁠Destiny II - Play To Win (Dave Lee Destination Boogie Mix) 9.⁠ ⁠Yuksek - The Rollercoaster (Extended Mix)10.⁠ ⁠Cerrone x Purple Disco Machine - Summer Lovin' (Original Mix)11.⁠ ⁠Jean Aubergine - Disco Numberwang (Jean's Vakue Added Sax Dub)12.⁠ ⁠Todd Terje - Bodies (Prins Thomas Orgasmatron)13.⁠ ⁠A Taste Of Honey - Sayonara (Peter Palace Edit)14.⁠ ⁠Disco Cream - Happy Groove (Vince Expo Essential Mix)

I've wanted to play Room 2 at Early Doors Club since the very first event at the new venue in 2025. So when I was asked to join Neil Craven at the December show, I was genuinely thrilled.My very busy musical mind got the better of me, and I ended up preparing more than 1,200 tracks - spanning ambient and chill, through deep house, and right into breaks and electro. Something for everyone. Overkill? Maybe. Eclectic? Absolutely.This mix, my first of 2026, captures elements of my set from Early Doors Club at the end of December, while still carrying some of the fingerprints of The Void. It's a musical blueprint for the year ahead.I hope you enjoy.Tracklist:Zaven - Litergy (Prelude)Johnny Oso - Time Won't Tell You Everything ⁠Boards Of Canada - Everything You Do is a Balloon ⁠Zaven - Disciple ⁠Ruxpin - Avant de Nous Tipper - LED downStone - Pixie Mr James Barth - The End Remotif - The Sound of Hope Played Backwards ⁠Natune - You're Everything to Me⁠Jerome Isma Ae - Purple Haze ⁠Yør Kultura - Willow ⁠Speedy J - The Oil Zone Kaos - Remini Saus - Tumult ⁠Coral D - Love Is What?Karl Biscuit - Hierophone (Avalon remix)⁠Akasha System - Purity Vector ⁠Saafi Bros - Watching Thoughts⁠Nahwerk - Breakthrough (Arutani remix)Saafi Bros - The Existence of Something ⁠Bjorn Petrikat - Dreams⁠Geju - Dark Places (Paul Traeumer mix)⁠Satoshi & Dopeus - SunriseToby Tobias - The Feeling (John Daly mix)⁠Findlay Brown - Love From Outter Space (Deadbeat Set Phazers to Stun mix)⁠Jerome C - You Better Think ⁠Seva K - Falling⁠Claire Kocleo - Fragments⁠LTD - Sol Ixent

Carl Cox on Over 30 Years of DJ'ingEarly Doors Club Podcast – Episode 1In this episode of the Early Doors Club Podcast, we revisit a powerful and reflective interview with Carl Cox, originally broadcast on Channel 4 News, where he speaks with Krishnan Guru-Murthy about a lifetime dedicated to music, culture, and the dancefloor.Carl Cox is one of the original superstar DJs of the late 80s and 90s and a true pioneer of UK club culture to this day. From the acid house explosion and unregulated warehouse parties to global festivals, clubs, and Ibiza residencies, Carl has not only witnessed the evolution of electronic music,  he helped shape it.In this conversation, Carl reflects on over 30 years of DJ'ing, discussing how his craft has evolved, how the music industry has changed, and why he still believes deeply in the power of the dancefloor. He also shares candid thoughts on the current challenges facing the British entertainment industry, particularly for grassroots venues and emerging artists.One of the most compelling moments sees Carl open up about a terrifying personal experience that nearly caused him to walk away from music altogether, a reminder that even icons face moments of doubt, fear, and vulnerability.The interview also connects closely to Carl's autobiography, Oh Yes, Oh Yes!, which charts his journey from a south London scaffolder to one of the most respected and influential figures in global dance music,  a story rooted in passion, perseverance, and belief in the culture.This episode is part of Early Doors Club's wider mission to document, preserve, and celebrate the people and stories that built club culture, while reflecting on how that culture continues to evolve today.Episode highlights:Carl Cox on 30+ years behind the decksHow DJ craft and technology have evolved over decadesThe rise of acid house from Chicago to UK ravesThe importance of unregulated party culture in shaping British nightlifeConcerns for the future of the UK entertainment and club industryThe moment Carl nearly walked away from his careerWhy he's still DJ'ing, still learning, and still passionateCredits: Interview originally broadcast on Channel 4 News Interviewer: Krishnan Guru-Murthy All rights belong to their respective owners.

A decade after lighting up the UK post-dubstep landscape with his own brand of sadness-tinted bright-focus electronic pop, Orlando Higginbottom returns with a new shape and a sharper edge. Dropping the Totally Enourmous Extinct Dinosaurs nom de plume, now as TEED, he opens up about rebuilding a creative life, dropping that Dadaist moniker that became a barrier, and writing Always With Me as a front-to-back album designed for deep listening. We dig into the real cost of momentum, the strange mix of pride and embarrassment that comes with releasing art, and why the only way to find magic is to run through the cringe instead of hiding from it.Moving from Britain to LA, Orlando speaks honestly about confronting British attitudes to success, learning from American civil rights conversations, and the humility that comes from realising how much you don't know until you leave home.Fans of Junior Boys, Metronomy, and New Order will hear familiar emotional colours in Always With Me: bright, economical production carrying bittersweet lyrics and synth lines that linger. Orlando shares the turning points that kept him going, from burnout after Trouble and industry targets that narrowed his world to a liberating SoundCloud drop that kickstarted a new season of work. Along the way, he offers grounded advice for artists: decide whether you're chasing quick wins or a lasting identity, share work early, set your rules, and avoid outrage-for-clicks traps because relationships outlast algorithms.If you enjoy Lost and Sound and want to help keep it thriving, the best way to support is simple: subscribe, leave a rating, and write a quick review on your favourite podcast platform.

Welcome to the Early Doors Club Podcast. It's finally here! A space that brings together our event news, resident DJ mixes, interviews, and moments of history that tap into nostalgia while reflecting on how club culture, music, and communities are always evolving.Early Doors Club explores the music, people, and cultural movements that shaped generations of ravers and clubbers and continues to influence dance floors today. Some episodes will make you smile, some might make you think, but all of them are rooted in a genuine love of the music and the people around it.Over the last three years, we've built a growing community of like-minded people online through Instagram and Facebook, but most importantly in real life at our early evening events in Newcastle upon Tyne. This podcast is an extension of that community.At its heart, Early Doors Club is about creating safe, inclusive spaces that put the music first. No hype. No superstar DJs.  Just honest conversations, proper musical journeys, and shared memories.If you're new to EDC, here's a quick low-down.Our events are built around five and a half hours of uninterrupted house through to techno, start to finish. Played by resident DJs with over thirty years of experience; DJs who know the room, trust their instincts, and aren't boxed in by genres or trends. Expect big, banging, emotional records… house, progressive, techno, disco, breaks, and leftfield curves, all stitched together with care and intent.One of our favourite moments is seeing new faces walk through the doors and completely get it within the first hour. That point where people relax, smile, and realise they're in a room where the music genuinely matters and the crowd does too.Our events run bi-monthly on Saturdays from 5pm to 10:30pm. You get the full club experience without losing your Sunday.And then there's the community itself. Safe. Friendly. Open. Knowledgeable. Music-lovers who come to listen, dance, connect, and let go and who trust us to take them on a journey.If you still love house and techno but feel priced out, disconnected, or bored of the usual club format, this is us saying: there is another way. Something new but strangely familiar.We have 6 events in 2026 and our third birthday, taking us officially into our fourth year of Early Doors Club. People can't make every event, we understand that, but ticket sales keep growing, and the family keeps expanding. Once you try it, we say, you're in forever.Anyway… back to the podcast.If you enjoy what you hear, please remember to hit subscribe, it really helps more like-minded people find us. You can also follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, where we share mixes, clips, archive footage, and community moments.And if this resonates with you, please pass it on.Remember: Music is our shared DNA.Thanks for being here, we hope you enjoy the journey.

Just as everyone else is winding down for the seasonal break, Lost and Sound returns after my project sabbatical with one of UK club culture's most vital voices: I. JORDAN.We trace a line from Doncaster fairgrounds and bassline bus journeys to festival stages — and to the 2024 debut album I Am Jordan, which places community, class, and queer belonging at the centre of contemporary dance music.It's a fast-moving conversation about sound, craft, and care. We talk about why tempo is a feeling rather than a rule, how working at 132–136 BPM can sharpen intent, and what happens when a seven-minute club tool becomes a three-minute vocal track that completely shifts how your body responds.We get into the granular details too: the feedback loop between club and studio, testing dubs on big systems, and the patient editing that turns a drop into a collective release on the dancefloor.Class and culture cut through everything. We discuss reclaiming the much-maligned donk on Ninja Tune as a deliberate act — honouring northern working-class roots while shaping a scene that gives trans artists agency, visibility, and joy. We also talk about why some crowds are easier to guide than others, what truly separates underground from mainstream energy, and how health, sobriety, and touring habits are central to building a sustainable life in music.I.JORDAN on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/i.jordan/?hl=enI.

In this episode of The XLNT Show, Danny & Parker sit down with Seven Lions for a deep conversation on creativity, emotion, and the philosophy behind melodic bass music. Jeff opens up about his upcoming album Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars, his loyalty to FL Studio, and why subtle details matter more than overproduction.They discuss:Why music feels spiritual and how emotion carries across timeThe vision behind Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars and keeping albums fully soloHow Seven Lions approaches vocals, songwriting, and melodic structurePerforming as an introvert, impostor syndrome, and building confidence on stageWorld-building, visual identity, and the role of Ophelia RecordsMelodic bass longevity vs trend-driven EDMProduction workflow in FL Studio and adding depth through subtle texturesThoughts on AI in music and protecting the human element of artNew album: Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars — 12/12

DJ, producer and multidisciplinery artist Silvia Jiménez Alvarez, better known as JASSS, makes work that spans raw industrial intensity, fragile emotional depth, and immersive audiovisual collaborations.Her debut album Weightless (iDEAL, 2017) marked her as one of the most exciting new voices in electronic music, blending noise, dancefloor frequencies and experimental atmospheres. With her follow-up A World Of Service on Ostgut Ton, she expanded her vision into a full sensory world, working with visual artist Ben Kreukniet to create a touring AV show that didn't hold back.As her new album Eager Buyers emerges, I joined her for a chat about her beginnings in Spain, discovering metal through Soulseek, her journey through Berlin's underground scene, how discomfort in art can provide a place of joy and the Mark Fisheresque anti-nostalgia that not only pervades her new work but feels kind of zeitgeist in these uncertain times.Listen to JASSS – Eager Buyers  BandcampFollow JASSS on Instagram  @jasss_incIf you enjoy Lost and Sound and want to help keep it thriving, the best way to support is simple: subscribe, leave a rating, and write a quick review on your favourite podcast platform.

Damian Lazarus joins me for a wide-ranging conversation tracing his path from the early 2000s electroclash scene to his position today as one of dance music's most consistently influential figures.We talk about how it all began — from getting his first DJ residency at 16, to working as music editor at Dazed and Confused, to his A&R role at City Rockers, where he helped shape the early sound of electroclash alongside labels like Gigolo and Turbo. He shares stories from that era: warehouse parties in Shoreditch, impromptu gigs in disused toilets, and encounters with everyone from The Strokes to Jarvis Cocker.We also get into what came next: founding Crosstown Rebels, building immersive events like Day Zero and Get Lost, and working with artists like Jamie Jones, Francesca Lombardo, and Maceo Plex.Damian also talks candidly about sobriety, how it affected his creative process during the making of his Magickal album, and what changed for him on a personal level. He describes the early signs — creative blocks, burnout — and the shifts that followed once he made the decision to stop.We cover a lot: longevity in music, what it means to stay curious, and how looking back at music's past helps him think about where things might go next.Listen to Damian Lazarus' music:

Emerald has built a name as a leading voice representing UK underground club culture, we spoke as she steps into a new chapter as label owner and producer. From growing up as "the laptop DJ" on the outskirts of London to becoming a champion of underground sounds on Rinse FM and beyond.Standing six feet tall, mixed-race, and bisexual, she describes feeling like "a clumsy giraffe on roller skates" yet transforms this feeling of otherness into her greatest strength. The origins of her new label Precious Stones—named after herself and sisters Sapphire and Ruby—reflect both personal heritage and her vision for music that transcends conventional boundaries.Throughout our conversation, Emerald dismantles industry myths with a refreshing and down to earth honesty. She questions the often contradictory definitions of "underground" culture, challenges networking norms that feel forced, and advocates for spaces where revolutionism and anti-establishmentarianism can flourish. Listen to Emerald's music on BandcampIf you enjoy Lost and Sound and want to help keep it thriving, the best way to support is simple: subscribe, leave a rating, and write a quick review on your favourite podcast platform.

Richard Fearless is a true lifer. The DJ, producer and Death In Vegas founder sits down with Paul to reflect on 30 years of musical evolution that has taken him from the hugely influential Heavenly Social to Mercury Prize nominations, a top ten hit about a serial killer sung by Iggy Pop to his current creative renaissance, working free from industry bullshit and producing his best work in years,Growing up in remote Zambia with music-loving parents, Fearless recalls connecting with music at an early age. His path would lead through the emerging London techno scene of the late '80s and '90s, where he cut his teeth as a resident DJ alongside contemporaries like Andrew Weatherall and The Chemical Brothers before launching Death in Vegas. The conversation reveals a pivotal moment when commercial success led to a crossroads rather than continued mainstream pursuit.What emerges is the portrait of an artist who deliberately stepped away from major labels, management, and industry expectations to craft a more authentic sonic identity. His riverside studio "The Metal Box" becomes central to this narrative – an analog sanctuary where tape machines, field recordings, and environmental sounds combine to create the stripped-back, trance-inducing techno of his current work. "I make my best music when I'm digging deep within myself," he explains.Perhaps most compelling is Fearless's admission that he feels more proud of his recent, independent work than the commercial hits that brought him fame. His collaborative ventures with friend of Lost and Sound Daniel Avery and new dub-inspired night "Holy" demonstrate an artist still pushing boundaries rather than retreating into nostalgia. "I feel as excited about DJing as I was when I was 20," he confesses, signaling that artistic liberation has reinvigorated his passion.Death Mask by Death In Vegas is out now.

Seamus Rawles Malliagh, better known as Iglooghost, is an artist who doesn't just make electronic music—he builds entire worlds. His sound is hyper-detailed, bursting with surreal textures, and deeply tied to the mythologies he creates around it.In this episode, we dive into how growing up in rural Dorset shaped his imagination, from childhood experiments with ley lines to the eerie, folklore-like atmosphere of empty landscapes. We also explore the making of his most recent album, Tidal Memory Exo, crafted during a five-year stint living near Thanet's brutalist seafront. Immersed in what he calls “aesthetic ugliness”—concrete towers, decay, a nearby sewage plant—he channeled these surroundings into an intricate fictional narrative, where a storm isolates Thanet from the mainland, birthing underground music subcultures.Iglooghost shares how discomfort and constraint fuel his creativity and how mythology plays a key role in his artistic process. Whether you're deep into his sonic universe or discovering him for the first time, we get into one about how environment, storytelling, and electronic music collide.If you're enjoying Lost and Sound, please do subscribe and leave a rating or review on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, or wherever you listen.

Étienne de Crécy is one of the architects of the French Touch movement—those lush, filter-heavy grooves that shaped house music in the ‘90s, right alongside acts like Daft Punk, Air, and Alex Gopher. But his journey didn't start in the clubs. Before electronic music, he was a punk bassist, navigating Parisian record shops that looked down on house music before the scene exploded worldwide.In this conversation, Étienne reflects on three decades of pushing electronic music forward, from his groundbreaking Super Discount series to his latest album, Warm Up. This new record marks a shift—more organic, more vocal-driven, and carrying a double meaning: a reference to its sound, but also a nod to the global moment we're in. “We are just at the warm-up… for the climate, for politics.”We talk about his creative process, his mathematical approach to composition, and why he avoids the easy route of plugins in favor of crate-digging for samples. Plus, the story of how he unearthed a long-lost collaboration with Damon Albarn, recorded twenty years ago and now perfectly fitting Warm Up's aesthetic.As electronic music culture shifts—where younger generations lean into harder, faster sounds—Étienne remains committed to a philosophy: “What I'm learning is to stay simple and to be amazed by simple things.”If you're enjoying Lost and Sound, please do subscribe and leave a rating or review on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, or wherever you listen.

Loraine James is one of the most forward-thinking artists in electronic music today. Her sound is instinctive, fluid, and deeply personal—whether she's crafting glitchy, jazz-infused beats, bending genre expectations on Hyperdub, or exploring mood and texture through her Whatever the Weather project.In this episode of Lost and Sound, Loraine talks about her approach to making music without rigid plans, letting emotion and instinct guide the process. She shares insights into the creative freedom that shapes her work, from improvisation to embracing imperfections in her own way. We also dive into the personal themes in her music, including the deeply moving 2003, a track that reflects on loss and memory.With a new Whatever The Weather album out now on Ghostly International, Loraine talks about the balance between control and spontaneity, how she navigates external expectations without compromising her sound, and why she's never been interested in fitting into any one scene. Thoughtful, open, and refreshingly down-to-earth, I feel we got a rare look into the mindset of an artist constantly pushing her own boundaries.If you're enjoying Lost and Sound, please do subscribe and leave a rating or review on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, or wherever you listen.

Underground Bass culture never sits still and when it comes to forward momentum,  Slikback is at the heart of it. With at least 28 projects since 2018, his sound is restless, urgent—pushing bass, distortion, and rhythm into new forms. In this conversation, we get into the discipline behind his experimental process, how fatherhood has reshaped his approach, and the impact of his latest release on Tempa.We also talk about the move from traditional labels to self-releasing on Bandcamp—a decision that cracked open new creative freedom, especially during the pandemic. For Slikback, aka the very charming Freddie Mwaura Njau, it's not just about breaking industry norms; it's about the raw energy of finishing ideas, pushing sound forward without losing the impulse that made it exciting in the first place.From early influences growing up in Nairobi to global collaborations, from DIY scenes to Nyege Nyege's cultural force, this episode traces the connections that shape his music. We talk process, community, and the balance between instinct and refinement in electronic music today.If you're enjoying the show, please consider subscribing and leaving a rating or review on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, or wherever you listen.

Oliver Johnson, the synthesizer maestro better known as Dorian Concept, graces our latest episode with tales of musical evolution from "failed jazz artist" to electronic music luminary. Renowned for his collaborations with Thundercat, MF Doom and Flying Lotus, Johnson opens up about his unorthodox journey and the creative philosophies that guide him. We journey through the making of his latest EP, "Music from a Room Full of Synths," recorded at the Swiss Museum for Electronic Music Instruments, where jazz, funk, and hip-hop merge with club sounds.Another topic that came up was on how Dorian navigates artistic identity and societal expectations, revealing how personal experiences can forge a path to authenticity. From childhood piano lessons that prioritized play over pressure, to encountering musical influences that shaped his tastes.If you like what I'm doing with Lost and Sound, please like, rate, review or subscribe to the show on your podcast app of choice – it really does help."Music for a Room Full of Synths” is out now, check it out here. Follow me on Instagram at PaulhanfordLost and Sound is sponsored by Audio-TechnicaMy BBC World Service radio documentary “The man who smuggled punk rock across the Berlin Wall” is available now on BBC Sounds.

This week, I'm joined by producer and sound designer Demian Licht. With a unique approach to creating deep techno, Demian treats frequencies and textures like an intricate structure, embracing minimalism and drawing inspiration from diverse sources beyond music itself, such as Greek mythology in her latest "Hémera" EP as well as Biohacking.Our discussion moves from Mexico City, where Demien honed her craft and became the first certified female Ableton trainer in Latin America to the chilly streets of Berlin, where she released her debut LP Die Kraft during the pandemic. We explore the transformative power of external influences on creativity, from surfing to learning new languages, and how stepping outside one's comfort zone can nurture genuine artistic expression. Demian highlights the significance of fostering an inclusive environment in music education, reflecting on the vital role of teaching in her career.If you like what I'm doing with Lost and Sound, please like, rate, review or subscribe to the show on your podcast app of choice – it really does help.HÉMERA VOL.1, out now on Demian Licht's label Motus Records.

A few Sundays ago I spoke with Icelandic producer and DJ Bjarki, whose seems to be at an interesting point in his artistic evolution, capable of creating club bangers yet seemingly more curious to explore dark yet heartfelt spaces between satire and science. From his explosive blunt weapon of a debut track "I Want to Go Bang,” almost ten years ago now,  to his innovative new album "A Guide to Hellthier Lifestyle." Bjarki shares how he weaves themes like environmental awareness  and the wellness industry into his music, shaping each track into a piece of conceptual art. Bjarki has built up a reputation for releasing under different pseudonyms and is able to create music that doesn't sit under one label, he's pretty hilariously dissmissive about how easy it is to make a club banger in our chat, for one. We discuss the creative journey of producing an album that examines wellness and influencer culture while embracing new technologies like spatial sound design to enhance the listener's experience. We also get to weave one of my favourite semi-regular sidenotes into the conversation — the connections between music and food!If you like what I'm doing with Lost and Sound, please like, rate, review or subscribe to the show on your podcast app of choice – it really does help. “A Guide To Hellthire Lifestyle” by Bjarki is released on February 7th, pre-order on Bandcamp.Follow me on Instagram at PaulhanfordLost and Sound is sponsored by Audio-TechnicaPaul's BBC World Service radio documentary “The man who smuggled punk rock across the Berlin Wall” is available now on BBC Sounds.

It's the 150th episode of Lost and Sound and I'm joined by the legendary DJ and producer Laurent Garnier, who this week releases his epic Fabric Presents Mix, celebrating 25 years of the London superclub.Garnier famously checks out 400+ tracks a day, and we discuss how he sustains his passion for music amidst an avalanche of daily releases. He underscores the relentless pursuit of musical treasures, maintaining that even in a saturated market, gems persist. Garnier also reflects on the evolution of DJ culture and music trends, highlighting the significance of resisting nostalgia and embracing fresh tracks while acknowledging the challenges posed by technological advances in music distribution.Our conversation also touches on the nuances of today's techno scene, where commercial and underground elements often blur, not always in the best way. Garnier's approach shifts towards intimate venues that prioritize artistic expression over mainstream success. Lastly, we celebrate Fabric's 25th anniversary with Garnier's contribution: a mix for each of Fabric's rooms and a special "fourth room" mix for home listeners. Garnier is also a keen cook, and we draw on the parralels between clubs and restaurants, and how good resident DJs fulfull the same need for the culture as good chefs do. I loved hearing his insights into maintaining a successful DJ career, understanding crowd dynamics, and the intricacies of performing for different audiences.If you like what I'm doing with Lost and Sound, please like, rate, review or subscribe to the show on your podcast app of choice – it really does help.fabric presents Laurent Garnier: celebrating 25 years of fabric.
