#051 Wrapping up 2022

Music Not Diving with Scuba ·

2022/12/27

Hello from Tokyo... I am playing at Vent on 28 Dec and in Hakuba on 29 Dec. On New Year's Eve I will be playing all night in Toronto at Sub Division. Pretty sure that's gonna sell out so grab a final-release ticket quick. I recorded this on 24 Dec so didn't have a chance to mention the incredibly sad passing of Shaun Roberts, a really important figure in UK Underground music who gave opportunities to so many key artists, particularly through his role at fabric. RIP Shaun. This week on the show

2022/12/20

Episodes of this podcast tend to hover around the ninety minute mark, maybe an hour forty-five. That seems to be the natural length for this kind of format, but sometimes they just acquire a life of their own and end up a fair bit longer and quite often those are my favourites. My conversation with the noted American DJ and producer Fred P this week is one of those longer ones, and it was one that found really rewarding. That's not an uncommon experience in recording these podcasts, but Fred is a

2022/12/13

Running a club properly, like really, really well, requires an attention to detail that is rarely appreciated by the average attendee. During his time at Bob Beaman and BLITZ in Munich, David Muallem has shown an unusual flare in that department and delivered a couple of really special venues. He is also a highly accomplished DJ who has rocked many of the most notable dancefloors across the world. This is the first time we've welcomed a guest who has this level of hands-on experience with the

#048 FaltyDL

Music Not Diving with Scuba ·

2022/12/06

Moving far outside of your musical comfort zone is a seductive move in theory but one which regrettably few producers feel able to execute in practice. Drew Lustman, aka FaltyDL, is fearless in his approach to breaking down his own stylistic parameters. His new album, A Nurse To My Patience, is the most striking example to date of that feature of his work. This is an artistic trait which I much admire, and I was looking forward to the opportunity to sit down and discuss it at length without someone

#047 Seth Troxler

Music Not Diving with Scuba ·

2022/11/29

After an unexpected hiatus last week, the Not A Diving Podcast returns with former RA Top 100 DJs Poll winner, a unique character, and a man of sharp opinions and broad horizons.If that sounds like three guests then it's purely a failure of prose, because Seth Troxler is a titan of modern house music who brings much more to the table than the ability to accumulate poll votes. This was a highly enjoyable conversation in which we cover the broad topics of the dance scene in detail, along with Seth's

Music Not Diving with Scuba ·

2022/11/15

My last job as a civilian was working on educational research projects for an exam board, and the very last thing I did there was a trial of innovative maths teaching methods in schools. Which isn't something you'd expect to hear about on this podcast, but we get pretty close to it in my conversation with former Oye Records counterman Tallmen785 as his current area of work combines the teaching of music and maths to kids in an interesting way.You may be familiar with Tallmen techno jams, but Brian

2022/11/08

Changing the direction of a music career is one of the most difficult tricks to pull, and changing your stage name is another thing entirely. Particularly if your stage name is DJ Barely Legal.Chloé Robinson has managed to do all of the above, and is now one of the most in-demand acts at the cross-section of UK bass music and European house and techno. We've been trying to align our calendars to make this episode happen for a good few weeks, and I'm extremely happy to say that it's now here. We

#043 Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs

Music Not Diving with Scuba ·

2022/11/01

Every producer wants to be an auteur. The legend of the isolated guy (it's almost always a guy) turning out hits without any outside help is as potent a narrative in the culture as there has ever been. Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, aka TEED, aka Orlando Higginbottom is doing exactly that, and has made one of my favourite albums of recent memory with When The Lights Go. He's also a thoughtful and insightful chap who recently wrote an article for Billboard which exhibited those qualities and

#042 LIVE from ADE: Ellen Allien

Music Not Diving with Scuba ·

2022/10/25

Having a conversation in front of an audience, it turns out , is a bit different to speaking on the phone. This is the first time we've done a 'LIVE' episode, and we can thank the good people of the Amsterdam Dance Event for helping us make it happen. As part of the conference we took over a room of about 80 people for an hour and talked to a real legend of Berlin techno - Ellen Allien. A resident of many of the most important clubs in the city ever since the wall came down, Ellen was there at

2022/10/20

Better late than never! We had all sorts of problems with getting the podcast out this week, not helped by a trip to ADE in Amsterdam to record an episode with Ellen Allien which (all things going well) will be on your feed next week. But right now on the show we have a very interesting and important person in the underground music scene of the UK - Elijah. You may remember his work in the grime scene with Skilliam, you may remember his label, Butterz, if you're in the industry you may know him as

#040 Dub[step] War[s] - Dave Q

Music Not Diving with Scuba ·

2022/10/11

What happens when you discover a new form of music being made thousands of miles away, but there’s nowhere to dance to it in your city? Or even your country?If you’re Dave Q, you go right ahead and put on a party, which is what he did when he held the first Dub War event in New York City during the summer of 2005.That makes him an extremely important person in the development of bass music in North America, and while we heard a lot about this from Joe Nice, one of the resident DJs at Dub War, it was

#039 DJ Spoony

2022/10/04

The feedback to Episode 26 of the show with MJ Cole was overwhelming. But we came away from that episode without the real insider story of the UK Garage scene being told - what we got instead was the MJ Cole story, which was amazing in itself, but missing some of the key details as to how this unique genre of Dance Music unfolded. This week we welcome one of the absolute best people around to fill in those gaps and really dig into the development of UKG, and that man is none other than DJ Spoony. As

2022/09/27

Can a DJ influence government policy? Sunil Sharpe has certainly tried, and through various campaigns going back to the mid 2000s his voice in the development of nightlife policy in Ireland has been a significant one. That makes him a great guest for the show and we dig into some of the machinations of policy-making, as well as the more directly music-related issues of DJing with vinyl, crowd behaviour, the changing nature of how electronic is viewed, and much else besides. Sunil is a man who likes

#037 Patrice Bäumel

Music Not Diving with Scuba ·

2022/09/20

Groupthink is everywhere, but rarely found in a more pronounced form these days than in the dance scene. Patrice Bäumel is not a fan of this phenomenon and, to his credit, he is willing to challenge received wisdom and orthodoxy. That approach to life makes him an ideal guest for this show and it was a pleasure to dig into some thorny topics with him over the course of a two hour conversation. In addition to the topic of groupthink itself, we discussed the definitions of freedom and art, community

Releasing your own music can be liberating, but it also involves challenges. How keen are you on self-promotion? Well you better get used to it if you're self-releasing. Steffi is a long running resident of Berghain/Panorama Bar, and an alumnus of their label, Ostgut Ton. For her forthcoming album, The Red Hunter, she has taken over those responsibilities with a new imprint called Candy Mountain. We discuss all that at length, plus taking the opportunity to dig into her background in the

This week I'm taking the opportunity to evaluate what we've been doing on the show during the 19 weeks since I last did a solo pod. That also ties in neatly with a weekend I just spent in Berlin where we held a Hotflush party at Æden, and also collabed with HÖR on sets from me, Anna Kost, Roska, and Closet Yi.

We have been angling for a booking agent to guest on the show since launching the podcast, and finally we have one!Ned Beckett is the founder of the Little Big agency, represents Aphex Twin, and is as well placed as anyone to make the case for the contribution made by agents to the careers of artists and live music as a whole. We discuss his formative period with Warp Records, the development of electronic music in the live space, and the challenges of founding an agency when you have no idea what

2022/08/23

Electronic music and DJing are intrinsically linked, so what happens when your studio output shifts from being explicitly designed for mixing to something far less functional?Performing live is a challenge many DJs have taken up, but few as comprehensively as George FitzGerald who fully embraced the live experience after signing to Domino Records and releasing music which was a step away from the UK-bass inflected house bangers with which he initially made his name. We discuss all that, before

Miami is one of those places whose reputation precedes it. South Beach, basically. Which anyone with any smarts will reassure you is far from the whole story.Danny Daze is a second-generation Cuban who is Miami to the core. He's a former pro-level tennis player who spends his time running TR808s through an Eventide H9000, and is currently preparing to perform his forthcoming album in a planetarium. He also has strong opinions on just about everything.We discuss topics including the aforementioned
