For the tenth episode of "Tales From A Disappearing City," I am once again joined by Ben McCusker, a member of the Dead Silence Syndicate and co-founder of Audio Illusion Recordings. In the second part of our conversation, we delve into the discussion of how, following several parties in the woods and commons of Surrey, and with winter approaching, the Fear Teachers sound system transitioned indoors, initiating a series of notorious and musically eclectic all-night events at various illegal and unlicensed venues across London. The topics encompass the quest for the perfect venue and the fragmentation of the scene into different genres. We conclude with Ben's explanation of how he and Brett Youngs established a new record label named Audio Illusion. After their distributor goes out of business, they collaborate with Spiral Tribe. Through a new project called Subnet, Spiral Tribe effectively sells their records and those of other labels from the electronic underground scene throughout Europe and beyond, thus establishing a fresh network for independent distribution of music for musicians, producers, and label owners alike. This episode is dedicated to Brett Youngs.
