Line Noise Radio Primavera Sound

A couple of days ago I packed up my microphone and recorder and made the short hop to Hospitalet, where I interviewed the fabulous ML Buch, a Copenhagen-based composer, producer, guitarist and vocalist, ahead of her gig at the Pumarejo. We talked about creeping out in the country, the car as creative space, 90s guitars, Dire Straits and more. I hope you enjoy it. (PS apologies for the sound checking noise in the background.)

Speed Dealer Moms are John Frusciante, probably best known as the guitar player from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Aaron Funk, aka Venetian Snares, a producer who defies your 4/4 time signatures in the name of brilliantly experimental electronic sounds. In what was their first ever joint interview, I spoke to John and Aaron about listening to music differently, 16-hour jams, friendship in music, actual speed dealer moms, jungle, Bangface and so much more. I think this interview is really a bit special so I do hope you enjoy it. PS The excellent new Speed Dealer Moms single, Birth Control Pill, is out Friday May 10. 

My guest on Line Noise this week is New York DJ Tedd Patterson, who held down a 13-year residency at Cielo and now spins regularly at Battle Hymn and House Of Yes. He has also released a gorgeous new single, Piece of Me, with Inaya Day. We spoke about his long and storied history with DJing, from Atlanta to New York to London, from Cabaret Voltaire to Tony Humphries; we talked about NYC’s best parties, the secret of playing six-hour sets, the ultimate Cielo anthem and so much more.

Line Noise is taking part in the 30th anniversary celebrations of Barcelona's famed club, Nitsa, including interviews with some of the key players in Nitsa's history. In episode 3, we talk to Erol Alkan, who played his first DJ gig outside the UK at Nitsa and who has returned to the club ever year since. He is also the favourite DJ of Nitsa resident DJ Coco. Erol shared his memories of Nitsa and of club music from 2000 to 2002. You can also consider this part 2 of our recent interview with Erol.

My guest on Line Noise this week is DJ / producer extraordinaire Erol Alkan. We spoke about the new remixes of his classic A Hold On Love, euphoric melancholy, the art of remixing and more. Look out for a part two soon, when we discuss Nitsa's 30th anniversary.

Our guest on Line Noise today is Monty Luke, an LA-via-Detroit-via -Berlin producer of deep dark house and techno. His new album Nightdubbing, which comes out on Rekids on March 29, combines house and dub influences and scorns copycats. We talked about dub, inspiration, Planet E, his Black Catalogue label, the Blessed Madonna and much more.
