When DJs and producers @eris-drew and @octoocta first met, they felt an instant connection that has only grown over the years. Kindred spirits in both music and life, the pair released their first split EP entitled Devotion in 2018, sharing the same artistic values that make their music deeply moving in all senses of the word. Their DJ sets, meanwhile, light up the dancefloor — their back to backs can be as bombastic and high-energy as they are personal and emotive, speaking to a healing force that seems to drive all of their work. 

In this episode, we discuss their b2bs, their joint tour and label, @T4TLUVNRG, and their collaborative project Alchemical Sisters — the latest addition to a cosmic world in full colour.

This month’s episode welcomes British producer Leon @Vynehall. After a start DJing around the UK, Leon’s focus shifted to production as he released his debut EP Music for the Uninvited, and a widely acclaimed first album on Ninja Tune called Nothing in Still. Inspired by his grandparents emigration from the UK to New York, Nothing is Still also included a novella and a set of short films, an entire world crafted from the seed of the music. His second and much loved album Rare Forever, however, focused inwards, as Leon explored his own identity, capability, and ambition; although it lacks a traditional narrative, Leon himself became the protagonist. With Rare Forever as a jumping off point, Leon and I explore his journey in self-acceptance, his growth as an artist, and how to thrive from failure as well as success.

The Well

For episode 15, I'm joined by American avant garde composer and sound artist @William-Basinski for a chat about deep listening, loops, and found sound. 

Born and raised in Texas, Basinski is a classically trained clarinetist who studied jazz and composition at university. After eventually moving to New York, he began experimenting with tape loops, found sound, and audio feedback. In 2001, he released his seminal The Disintegration Loops, a four part album created when old tape loops he was attempting to salvage began to crumble and fall apart. TDL remains his most beloved work, but his unique ambient sound continues to flourish today, making him a fixture in contemporary experimental music.
