Line Noise Episode 165 (DJ Holographic)

"I always find inspiration from my city." The DJ and producer talks about her love of Naples, moving from the underground to the mainstream and her new audiovisual show.

If you've ever gone to big room techno hubs like Time Warp, DC-10, Awakenings or Rotterdam Rave, then Anfisa Letyago's name should be familiar to you. But Letyago actually comes from underground roots; before she played to thousands of people from the beaches of Ibiza, she was releasing on legacy labels like Hotflush, Kompakt, Nervous Records and Rekids, and collaborating with old guard artists like DJ Pierre. 

In this RA Exchange, the Naples-based DJ and producer talks about the strategy she employed to make it to the top. Having become enamoured with Carl Cox during her first days of raving in Naples as a university student, she flew to one of his gigs and stood outside his hotel with her tracks on a USB. She was delighted when he took them and played them in his set that night. Shortly thereafter, Cox booked Letyago to play his curated stage at Ultra Music Festival and has since acted as a close mentor, teacher and friend.

Today, Letyago is preparing a live audiovisual show, Partenope, which straddles the boundary of techno and vocal-led pop. She also started her own label, NSDA—an homage to a volcanic island near Naples—and is preparing her first full-length album to be released on a sub-label of Sony Music. She also reveals some facts that fans may not know about her despite the intimate moments from her life she shares online. Listen to the episode in full.

The beloved German producer talks about finding inner peace, overstimulation and his new album on Pampa Records.

Mental health is a topic that comes up frequently in the music industry, but it's still not discussed enough among electronic music's top performers. In this RA Exchange, Stefan Kozalla—better known as DJ Koze—opens up about his battle with anxiety, self-doubt and rising expectations that come with being a long-standing, high-profile name. He talks about overstimulation, music as rest and the compromises artists need to make to have relevance and staying power.

Kozalla, a beloved and eccentric German artist who has developed a cult following over the course of his career, has productions on esteemed labels like XL, Kompakt, Cocoon, Warp, Ninja Tune and BPitch, which garner praise as soon as they're released. "Every time DJ Koze comes out of the woodwork to drop a 12-inch—or even just a remix—we usually end up hearing it everywhere for months on end," wrote former RA editor Andrew Ryce.

Kozalla talks to RA contributor (and former editor) Matt Unicomb about his production process and early influences—an uncanny combination of Basic Channel and Public Enemy—as well as his forthcoming album, Music Can Hear Us, coming out on Pampa Records on April 4th.

Beatport Podcast: Riva Starr

As artists, we always dream of our work reaching other people. Some more than others, but never the less, even those whose work they make for themselves want it to have an impact on others. But, there's having an impact on others and then there's creating a dent in society. So much so, that a simple idea you had becomes so big that even pop culture could hardly keep up. Such is the case for Riva Starr, who's collab with Fatboy Slim and Beardyman 'Eat Sleep Rave Repeat' became possibly one of the biggest songs in electronic music ever. The combination of those four words has sprung nearly an infinite number of variations from the worlds of sports, fashion, and almost every other category. 

The question then is, how did this even come to be? How does one create such an iconic piece of music? In this episode of In Conversation, we sit down with Riva Starr to discuss the famous track, his origins in breakbeat, and how he is able to manage so many different projects all at once, such as his new Star B project with Mark Broom, on top of countless other topics.

Wie stark lassen sich Clubkultur, Musik und Design miteinander verbinden und wie lässt sich ein DJ-Set heute darstellen, ohne alleine den DJ in den Mittelpunkt zu stellen? Darüber spricht der weltberühmte DJ, Musik- und Modelabelbetreiber Dixon mit Podcast-Host Jakob Thoene in der letzten Telekom Electronic Beats Podcast Folge des Jahres. Als ersten Versuch einer neuen Darstellungsmöglichkeit führt der DJ sein neuestes Projekt Transmoderna an, eine 20-wöchige Residency im Pacha auf Ibiza, bei der Sound, Licht und Architektur miteinander verschmelzen. Der Dancefloor, die Party und der Moment sollen erlebt, anstatt für die Selbstdarstellung in den Sozialen Medien genutzt zu werden. Dixon erläutert seine Meinung zur Tragweite moderner Technologien und den gegenseitigen Einfluss von Mode und Clubkultur. 2018 entstand daraus das Modelabel Together We Dance Alone, dass er gemeinsam mit seiner Frau Diane leitet. Im Podcast Interview spricht Dixon außerdem über die Zukunft von Clubbing, die Ambivalenz der Clubszene auf Ibiza und welche Innovationen der weltberühmte DJ sich für die Clubkultur der Zukunft vorstellt.

Bloop Presents: Digging Deep.

A Radio Show hosted each time by a different artist, which gives the host an opportunity to play the different shades of electronic music, as opposed to the usual DJ set.

Each guest guides us through their personal record collection, from old influences, favourites, or simply the stuff they are digging at the moment.

Kickstarting the first episode off w/ Kevin Knapp. 

There are few DJs who have as much passion and dedication to this industry as Kevin Knapp. He’s a constant pioneer of the sounds crowds yearn for through his own individual production style and his proclivity for vocal contributions. His stand out vocals turned our heads back in 2012 proclaiming “My Beat Will Control You" with Audiojack and his first Hot Creations cut ”The Drums” alongside A&R head Richy Ahmed in 2013 is still owning dance floors to this day. As of recent, his track “Drug Birds” out of Sola was heavily supported by UK mainstays Hannah Wants and Huxley. 2018 was a big year as Kevin’s collab “Your Mind” with Shiba San was released with Repopulate Mars and swept across dancefloors. Kevin has taken every opportunity to continue his craft leading him from San Francisco to the capital of Techno: Berlin.
