#066 LIVE from IMS Part 2: Leslee Tatman

Music Not Diving with Scuba ·

2023/05/04

Last week we were lucky enough to be invited to record three podcasts at the International Music Summit in Ibiza, better known as IMS. In the second of these three conversations, we welcomed the Head Of Music at the Night League to the stage. Leslee Tatman is, amongst other things, responsible for the full season of programming at Ushuaia and Hi (formerly Space), and is as such a very important voice in Ibiza nightlife. We discussed a wide range of topics including the closure of Space in 2016, her

Last week we were lucky enough to be invited to record three podcasts at the International Music Summit in Ibiza, better known as IMS. We'll be posting each of these conversations over the next week, starting with today's episode which features a genuine Ibiza legend, DJ Pippi. A man with a real claim to having been the first DJ to play House music on the White Island, he held residencies at Pacha and Ku (later known as Privilege) during the 1980s and has been a fixture on the scene ever since

Why do musicians seem to be so depressed all the time? One of the many interesting takeaways from Tamsin Embleton's recent book 'Touring And Mental Health' is that people who go into music have been shown to be disproportionately susceptible to certain mental health problems. I found this book really fascinating and was very excited by the opportunity to talk about it with Tamsin, who edited it and contributed a large amount of the text itself. The conversation did not disappoint. A psychotherapist

2023/04/04

We've talked about distribution in underground music quite a lot on past episodes. Distributors have historically played a significant role in building labels and artists, but many of the prior guests on the show have a horror story about a distro going bust and taking their money with it. Kudos Records is an example of a modern distributor serving the underground the right way, and Ben Morris is a key member of staff there. That makes him a great person with whom to discuss the vinyl market over

2023/03/28

Everyone is creative. They really are! As a society we fetishise creativity, as if it's a unique gift, but everyone is capable of using their imagination - and that's really what creativity is. I just came up with that last bit, but the general sentiment is a key topic of discussion in this week's episode. Sebastian Mulleart is a noted electronic musician and live performer who for the past few years has been embarked upon a distinctive improvisational project in collaboration with many other

2023/03/21

Very few techno records cross over. A ridiculously small number given the mountain of cookie cutter nonsense that gets spewed out in to the ether every week. But every now and then you get one that catches the imagination of a wider audience. 'We Do What We Want' by this week's guest was probably 2016's biggest festival tune, and Alan Fitzpatrick has been hiding from it ever since. Or at least that's the impression he gives on this week's episode - I hadn't really given what must be the

2023/03/14

Music and politics don't really mix do they? Stick to music!Obviously we don't think that. Music SHOULD be political. One of the reasons that music is less culturally important than it used to be MUST be the fact that it isn't political ENOUGH!Tijana T is from Belgrade, and everything in Belgrade is political. Everything in Serbia is. Everything in the Balkans is.So we talk a lot about politics on this week's show. We also talk about music, and how the two things interact. Other things are discussed

This week's show is follows on from last week, where we left off in 2010 at a cliff hanger where the underground music scene was about to change significantly. We follow the narrative up to the present day, discussing the development of Hotflush Recordings, my own journey from imposter syndrome to bad attitude, and end up by identifying five important things to get right if you want to make a career in music. There's a lot of self-examination, a few things discussed in detail, and a few things that

2023/02/28

As you know, we're in the midst of celebrating 20 years of Hotflush Recordings. I've done a few interviews to co-incide with that recently, but I am very rarely satisfied with how an interview turns out in print. Luckily I do a weekly podcast and am taking the opportunity to interview myself (kind of) over a two part podcast, the first half of which is this week's episode. I talk about the motivations for starting a label twenty years ago, the problem with A&Ring your own material, the key

Electro, IDM, techno, Warp, Rephlex, all that stuff. We talked about this stuff with Ned Beckett on episode 34 - it was a really interesting and fertile corner of the UK underground in the late 90s and early 2000s. It was also the entry point into music for this week's guest, Josh Doherty, as half of Posthuman and promoter of illegal raves in tube stations and other unusual locations. Since then, he's spent well over a decade running the I Love Acid party and Balkan Vinyl label, as well as keeping

NDP Cuts 001 - How To Mix Music And Politics: Dave...

Political stands have become a key weapon in the arsenal of music marketers. The level of cynicism and virtue signalling is beyond belief. In this cut from Episode 22 of the Not A Diving Podcast, Dave Clarke and I discuss that phenomenon, and why it's so important that when musicians talk about politics that it comes from a position of sincerity.

What did you do with your lockdown holiday? I was intending to learn a language and ended up just gaining a bunch of weight.Our guest this week - Detroit native Eric Cloutier - was a bit more productive than that - he embarked upon a project to reacquaint himself with a record collection that he'd been adding to for over 20 years, which ended up being broadcast to the world in a series of ten mixes entitled The Arsonist & The Architect. I highly recommend checking out those 20 hours of mixes, in

Something I totally forgot to mention in the intro is that we've actually also made a new track, with more than half an eye on those early days of Dubstep, which is out on Friday - get it here. Always so organised on this show. Since his first Hotflush release in January 2004, Distance appeared on the

The music scene of the North-East of England is often overshadowed by, or sometimes even conflated with, the North-West. Everyone knows about the music of Liverpool and Manchester but there are no equivalents of The Beatles or Oasis on Tyneside. Despite that, and putting aside for one moment quite-famous names like Mark Knopfler and Neil Tennant, Newcastle has in recent years produced some of the biggest names in club music, from Patrick Topping to Richy Ahmed.

Why should the DJs get all the money?And there is a lot of it. Over a billion dollars in fees paid to arguably the least popular members of the music industry every year, mostly for "adding value" to a live event by playing other peoples' music.This week's guest, DVS1, has led a team which seeks to address that financial imbalance by providing an elegant mechanism for DJs to give some of their astronomical remuneration back to the producers whose hard work they make a living free-riding on.It's
