Next up on the Cartulis Podcast is Eliza, a Vienna native now based in Berlin, where she continues her deep dive into music and culture. As a co-owner of Rota Bene, she breathes new life into overlooked gems, curating re-releases that bridge past and present with purpose. Her musical explorations are rooted in a sharp instinct for records that defy time and trends.

With a background in cultural and social anthropology, Eliza’s approach to DJing is more than just selection, it’s about weaving connections. Expect a hypnotic trip through textures and tempos, where musical diversity takes center stage in shaping an atmosphere beyond the dancefloor.

Tune in and let the journey unfold.

The fourth episode of AIR welcomes UK-based DJ and producer @JaneFitz for a chat about getting lost in music. 

** Sorry about the background noise in this one! **

Jane has been involved in electronic music for over 20 years, first as a raver and a music journalist in her native England and later in Asia, when she moved to Hong Kong at 23. Eventually she picked up DJing and brought her keen ear for selection and groove back to the UK at her event series like Peg, and Night Moves. Today she is considered one electronic music’s best selectors, holding residencides at the likes of Freerotation and The Pickle Factory.

We're back for episode 18, and our guest this month is Canadian producer and DJ, @RichieHawtin. A fixture in techno both under his real name and under his Plastikman alias, Richie has also become infamous for his innovations in music technology, his collaborations in art and fashion, and his own entrepreneurial ventures. In this conversation, we talk about how his different projects fit in to his identity as an artist. 

Richie's CLOSE combined AV album and interactive app, CLOSER, is out 20 September 2019: http://close.richiehawtin.com/

Recorded in Lahti, Finland, episode 22 welcomes Finnish producer and musician Aleksi Perala for a talk about Colundi, a microtonal tuning system introduced to him several years ago, and in which the different frequencies relate to different psychologies and beliefs. 

Although Colundi is still for the most part a mystery even to its staunchest believers, its frequences are said to encourage healing, relaxation, and peacefulness. Aleksi's own work with Colundi has resulted in more than 17 full length releases, and he shows no signs of slowing down...

This month we’re celebrating 25 episodes of AIR, an interview podcast series with a different theme each episode. Thanks so much to everyone who has tuned in over the past two years, it's been an absolute pleasure making this series and I hope you'll keep listening — got some really good stuff coming soon.

Today’s episode is about the art of vulnerability, featuring New York based ambient producer, new age instrumentalist, and holistic practitioner, @Laraaji. 

Active since the 1970s, Laraaji’s work is influenced by Eastern mysticism and a cosmic consciousness. Perhaps best known for his ambient and new age experiments with the autoharp, the piano, and the mbira, his deeply emotional music is often improvised, allowing him to fully open up his means of expression — something that he encourages in all artists. Balancing his musical endeavours with work as a holisitic health practitioner, he hosts laughter meditation workshops in New York; spiritual experiences that explore the childlike joy of letting go and being vulnerable, a fundamental in his life as an artist.

Joining me for the 27th episode of AIR is UK producer, composer, and DJ Henrietta Smith-Rolla, also known as @Afrodeutsche-ad.

Henrietta is a fixture in the Manchester's small but fervent music scene, her DJ sets incorporating everything from footwork to hardcore, techno, electro, and beyond. At home, however, she is inspired by films like Bladerunner or anything by Alfred Hitchcock — an interest which sparked the timely, lockdown-friendly topic for this conversation. In this episode, we tackle a theme I've been looking forward to discussing for a while: our favourite movies, the unique craft of soundtrack arrangement, and her first ever score for the 2020 documentary Kamali.

AIR is an interview podcast series with a different theme each episode. 

Created in 2017, AIR aims to be something different in the wide world of music journalism. Tired of the usual promotional fluff, host Emma Robertson invites artists, DJs, and musicians to get deep on one topic that inspires them — everything from nature, to film, to spirituality — in the hope that it inspires you, too.
