“Beast Of Eden” Our guest today on the program is a real artist. The Jersey born J Hacha De Zola is hard to categorize—he's wholly original and unlike anything out there today. A feral blend of David Johansen, Screaming Lord Sutch and Nick Cave,over the course of his five album career, J Hacha Zola has delivered some of the most captivating, fascinating and utterly infectious music around. Like a junkyard DaVinci, Hacha De Zola has demonstrated that he knows how to take rusty horns, scrap metal saxophones, guttered guitars and battered drums and turn them into pure gold. And that gold not only sparkles under the moonlight, it was spun by a dark figure lurking in the alley and prowling through the abandoned avenues of a city that everyone knows but is too afraid to name. Filled with ragged melodies, rabid rhythms and corruptive carnival stomp, the music of J Hacha De Zola is the real deal. It's spellbindingly brilliant in every turn. The enigmatic singer's new album East Of Eden is a startling departure from his previous work. East of Eden is an aching collection of dark and dreamy doo-wop, street soul and urban R&B. It's J Hacha De Zola in his most unvarnished and purest iteration. Or is it? Yes, it is, but this guy is a moving artistic target—you never know where he's going to go next. In this conversation Hacha and Alex talk about having an alter ego, keeping his artistic identity a secret from his family and what it's like being in touch with his shadow self... www.jhachadezola.bandcamp.com www.fanaticpromotion.com www.bombshellradio.com www.alexgreenonline.com

I understand the idea of niches, and how you can make a lot of money if you stick to a niche I get all the commercial reasons I just don’t get the personal reasons To me, once you’ve settled on a style, that’s it You’re developing a designer as far and wide as you could be any more You’ve decided you’re going to sit in a very particular box And you’ll continue to do your work from inside that box For me, I love making all sorts of things in all different styles I relish the challenge of producing a brand for something I’ve never done before Or designing something in a style I’ve never even considered They’re all interesting challenges to me And as I take on things like that I become a better designer But if you suddenly develop your style, you don’t really get any of that opportunity anymore To some extent, the people commissioning the work are to blame They’ll go hunting on behance and pinterest and look for things that fit their new ad campaign Then they’ll find something, go to the original designer, and ask them to do the same thing again but for their campaign “In their style" This usually happens when somebody becomes known for a particular piece of work And they’ll find...

Let's talk a little bit about happiness. Music and links from this episode Travelling between the Ancient Empires by Ars Sonor & Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt Park Bench Afternoons by MindsEye Tides by MindsEye A curious thing by J Hacha de Zola Line-by-line notes INTRO In our work focused culture And because work is all about, well working We often forget that work could be fun, if we wanted it to be Because work is driven by profits, timesheets and getting paid We sometimes forget one of the most important parts of our life Happiness Let’s talk a bit about happiness This is AADA, and I’m Craig Burgess PLAY MID SONG James Deb It’s probably not a name your familiar with If you you are Congratulations, you read Wikipedia like me James Deb is often cited as one of the inventors of the 8 hour work day Or the 40 hour work movement, that its apparently known as Previous to this idea, 10-16 hour work days 6 days a week were common It was actually Robert Owen though A Welsh social reformer and one of the founders of the utopian socialism movement That really branded the 8 hour work day well He came up with the slogan 8 hours labour, 8 hours recreation, 8 hours rest This was seen as revolutionary at the time That suddenly were going to start working less hours And looking after our health And it’s funny, now, we live in a freer society than ever One that, with the help of the internet pretty much lets you do whatever you want Whenever you want And we voluntarily choose to work longer hours Do more things for our bosses And put our happiness on hold for the sake of the corporation In the design industry, we value worker heroes The people who turn up an hour before everybody else And leave an hour after everybody else It’s common in the design industry to work long hours And work weekends, and in your spare time Because we enjoy our jobs so much It’s not like this feels like work, and we might still think we feel happy Those worker heroes, the people who work the longest? They’re not heroes It’s not big or clever working ridiculous hours It grates on your happiness Slowly and methodically And it's something you don't even realise Trust me, I’ve been there and worn out the t-shirt I realised, years ago now, that working the longest doesn’t make you the best It just becomes habit, then you expand every task to fill the available time You become less efficient, because you’ve got more hours available to you Then that means you end up working longer hours, because things are taking you longer to do Then the cycle repeats all over again And, it just doesn’t make you happy Design makes me happy I love it But I don’t love doing it for 16 hours a day That’s not an efficient use of my design brain I can’t come up with good ideas for that long during the day And I shouldn’t try, but some people do I’m at my happiest when I’m designing things But that doesn’t mean I stay happy for very long when I’ve been doing it for too long Even the things you love make you less happy when you do them for too long And if you’re not even in a job that makes you happy Quit tomorrow It’s just not worth it There’s no point wasting your life being unhappy I know not every part of every job makes you happy, I’m not naive But you can work your damnedest to make the happiness balance tip in your favour If you’ve got a job that makes you happy, well done To make sure you keep it that way, make sure you don’t do it too much Instead of 2 parts work, 1 part happiness Flip it on its head Go for 2 parts happiness, 1 part work Or even better 3 parts happiness, no work...
