I am back from holiday, and of course during my break events occurred.
Back in 2016, Trump's win was a nasty shock. But ultimately as it panned out, the worst of it was confined to a generally queasy sense of chaos, the Trump family's probably-illegal self-enrichment, and the trashing of the public finances in the pursuit of all time highs on the S&P500. That was until the attempted insurrection of January 6 2021, an event which should've disqualified the incumbent from ever being involved in politics again.
This time around it feels totally different - much more so given the hand waving of that event and the apparently serious and organised nature of the incoming administration. Things could get bad. But why did they win?
You've probably had a bellyfull of election coverage already, but the relationship the forces at play here have with some of the broad themes discussed on the show recently mean we have to get into it. Themes like counterculture, the declining importance of music and musicians, the debasement of culture more generally. And the failure of the other side of politics to construct a coherent alternative to the coming chaos.
We'll have a guest on next week but this one is just me... so buckle up!

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 also a few of the topical scene issues we've been discussing in recent weeks too.
I'm still on holiday but will be back next week!

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 affecting the grassroots club scene.
Obviously this makes him a great candidate for an NDP episode and we here we have it.
I'm currently on holiday but will be back in a couple of weeks, in case anything in this episode isn't entirely up to the minute!

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 this little nugget which developed over the past week.

On the show this week we preview the Not A Diving Club event at fabric in London, our first ever live event, getting into the thinking behind the format, the lineup, and other stuff too.
And we also welcome artist manager and former DGTL label manager Tim Hoeben to the show. We sat down last week at ADE to discuss various things from the festival circuit eating small clubs all the way through to the ridiculous rider demands of CERTAIN artists.
Tim's a great guy and this was a fun and informative conversation!

To call Shackleton an enigmatic figure would be to understate the case, especially in the context of the modern music scene. The requirements of the modern musician to constantly explain themselves, preferably direct to camera on social media, are so far from the operating system of this week's guest as to be entirely alien. So to welcome him to the podcast is a great privilege.
A co-founder of the legendary Skull Disco label, veteran of the embryonic dubstep scene, and subsequent traveller through musical psychedelia, he's a producer with an instantly recognisable style who has managed to develop it in surprising ways while keeping absolutely true to his musical principles.
This is an extremely rare Shackleton interview so there was much to discuss, and we get deep into his highly prolific recent catalogue, his transplant to Germany and relationship with his home country, as well as that formative period in the movement that became known as dubstep.
This is a big episode and a great conversation, you're gonna love it

On with the show...
Rune Reilly Kölsch is one of the biggest names on the melodic techno circuit, a long time member of the Kompakt Records roster and collaborator with names including previous NDP guest Tiga and Jane's Addiction frontman and part-time boxer Perry Farrell.
He's also a very thoughtful guy with a huge amount of experience, having released his first record back in 1995, so a perfect guest for the show.
We cover the small clubs vs festivals debate, the recent question of should big acts lower their fees to play small venues, the history of the scene in his home town of Copenhagen, and his process of making music.
We also get into the impact and legacy of the EDM boom of the early 2010s, and the extent of his direct involvement in it.
This is a really good one with some great insights, you're gonna love it.

The term 'underground hero' is often bandied about the dance scene with not much of a definition and in many cases an inappropriate target. But this week's guest is very much a plausible recipient of the accolade.
A veteran of the techno scene in London since the cutting his teeth as a teenager in the early 90s, Jerome Hill has made the records, played the gigs, run the labels, and served records from the behind the counter of shops including the seminal Dragon Discs in Camden Town.
We get into the mid 90s squat party scene in this episode, a key aspect of UK techno and something which I was very much aware of at the time but didn't experience at all first hand. And we also get a eye witness account of the legendary south London venue Club UK, which was closed down after years of police raids and controversy in 1996.
This is a great conversation with an important figure in UK techno, you're gonna enjoy it!

Back in the 90s, classic records were being released seemingly every week. So for one of your tracks to make it into the annual top ten really meant something. But what if you had three in a single year?
That was 1995 for this week's guest, and the short period in which he released Don't Laugh, I'm Ready, and Higher States Of Consciousness was always going to be a defining one in the history of the music itself, let alone the story of the actual producer.
It's possibly just as much of an achievement that Josh subsequently managed to escape the legacy of those monster records and build a lasting career on the global circuit, and it's that longevity that makes this such a great conversation.
We talk about the musical influence of his home town of Philadelphia, the early US rave scene, the pivotal role of college radio, the challenges and opportunities of today's industry, and of course the experience and aftermath of 1995.
This is a good one... of course it is!

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 been the most played artist on Aslice (he denies this), and a key DJ who spins all over the world. He's also a man of opinions and observations and therefore a great guest for this show.
We talk about topical stuff like the Aslice thing, the prevalence of DJ tools, and the influence of DJ tech on the music, as well as digging into his history and local scene in southern California.
I use far too much profanity in this episode, but don't worry about that - this was a fun with a key man in the scene and you're gonna enjoy it!

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 music today is to some extent running on tech. Ableton has done more than any other emergent piece of technology to enable vast, previously unprecedented numbers of people to make records.
But is that a good thing? We find out in this conversation.
Of course we also discuss Robert's contributions as an artist, in particular his new album as Monolake, entitled 'Studio'. We get into the process of making it, and the differences from his previous album projects. And we talk about the challenges and pressures of making music over time.
We also get deep into his story, moving from Munich to Berlin in 1990 and gradually developing the projects which would... well, change the world.
This is as good as I'm making it out to be, so make sure you get all the way through it!

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 even linking it in much of a way to his first area of creative interest which was, of course, music.
Agoria is an important name in the history of the French scene, with a long career releasing records on the full spectrum of labels, throwing parties (including the key festival Nuits Sonores), and DJing all over the world. He's also a thoroughly nice chap who I've had the pleasuring of hanging out with a playing a good few b2b sets with over the years.
We discuss the whole web3 thing, his involvement in the digital art scene more generally, the Paris olympics, meeting President Macron, the Presidential art collection, the future of dance music, and a lot more besides.
I loved this conversation and you're going to too!

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 90s, releasing albums (on labels including Brainfeeder and Ninja Tune) almost every year this century, and performing with such virtuosity that they are now a professor of electronic music performance at Berklee's Electronic Production and Design Department.
So we had much to discuss during this conversation, including the nature of extra terrestrial communication, government efforts to support the creativity, intellectual property and sampling, the making of albums, and the views and expectations of the new generation of musicians.
This is a good one...

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, and specifically collaboration since much of his output in recent years as been working with other people, perhaps most notably in co-writing and producing Sven Väth's 2022 album Catharsis.
Juliet Fox is a breakthrough DJ from Australia who has been riding the wave of the current techno boom since the pandemic. We chart her journey from Adelaide, to Melbourne and on to Europe where she now lives in London, having enjoyed the customary spell in Berlin too.
Both of these conversations include discussion on the challenges facing the current dance scene, and the reasons to be optimistic. We get some interesting divergences AND convergences of opinion of the various issues, making this a pretty effective double header.
Stick it on by the pool!

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 Mellon University.
So this is an episode about Techno, but not typical of nominally similar episodes of recent weeks.
We discuss recording, work in the studio without a computer, his early experiences in bands, the influence (or not) of EDM, and the mid 90s east coast warehouse scene.
And we also get a definition of 'art' from someone who actually knows what they're talking about!

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 Triple Transit which was released today.
We get into the technical challenges of making the record, incorporating modular synths and designing an efficient workflow, as well as the emotional journey Praveen embarked upon in the period that he was making the tracks.
This is a great insight into an excellent piece of work and you're gonna enjoy the conversation!

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 past).
His latest book, the recently published 'Futuromania', is a discussion of future music, past and present. And over the course of this conversation we dig deep into its contents, written at various points since the early 2000s.
Also covered in the discussion are the current landscape of musical influence in culture, the changing nature of the global dance scene, the rise and fall of Autotune, Lady Gaga and Charli XCX, Burial and Omni Trio, and the influence of Skrillex.
I was looking forward to this one and it didn't disappoint!

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 to it as anything in particular. That's pretty crazy!
This is a great conversation, a classic episode even. We discuss Manchester, sampling, tape editing, record collecting, as well as the AI stuff and the general making of ones way in the music scene.
You're gonna love this one...!
