Stream the video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/WoQuHAjWYMsAnd listen to Triple Transit: https://push.fm/fl/tripletransitThis 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! If you're into what we're doing here on the pod then you can support the show on Patreon!

The ongoing travails with my lower back have now eased somewhat, but not in time to record a new episode for this week's show. That IS HAPPENING today however, so there will be a brand new piece of content for you next Tuesday. Or this Thursday if you sign up on Patreon in the meantime, as episodes go live early over there. But in the meantime let's take the opportunity to revisit one of the best episodes of the podcast so far... the one with Dave Clarke. --From episode 022 (June 2022):Musicians can be broadly assigned one of two categories - those who are willing to say what they think, and those who are not. There is an element of risk and reward at play in this dynamic - and it might be a calculated strategy or purely a reflection of a given person's ability (or otherwise) to express themselves.This week's guest, Dave Clarke, is a reliable representative of the former group. He is frequently interviewed, and those interviews often cover topics which have little to do with music - international politics is a common point of discussion.... which leads us to the disclaimer that there is quite a lot of non-music related chat on the show this week.BUT THAT'S OK. DJs shouldn't be limited to talking about kick drums, and we cover topics here including living abroad, Brexit, energy policy, cultural conservatism, as well as the disappearance of counter-culture, the perils of record deals, and the secret sauce of hardware compressors.This was a conversation I was looking forward to having and it did not disappoint.If you're into what we're doing here on the pod then you can support the show on Patreon!

I have been laid up with a serious back problem for nearly two weeks now and haven't been able to record a new episode in that time. But fear not, because we are taking this opportunity to revisit one of absolute my favourite episodes of the show, all the way back to February 2022. Fingers crossed we will be back with a new episode next week!--From episode 006 (Feb 2022): dBridge is an unequivocal legend of Drum n Bass. From his work as part of Future Forces Inc. on Renegade Hardware in the mid 90s, through the supergroup Bad Company and the Autonomic project with Instra:mental, right up to releasing 4 albums since 2018 on his own Exit Records label, he has been right at the cutting edge of the genre, and of electronic music generally for more than 25 years. We talk about the early Jungle scene, subgenre fragmentation, DnB politics, the tyranny of rewinds, and making peace with your own musical output.
