Line Noise

To mark the 20th anniversary of famed British label Hyperdub, Line Noise organised a round-table interview with four of the label's key artists - founder Kode9, Ikonika, DJ Haram and Heavee - at Primavera Sound 2024. The results were fascinating, swinging from the obsession of running a record label to every artist's favourite Hyperdub songs. Picture by Cecila Diaz Betz.

Mar Vallverdú and Ben Cardew ended up a touch star struck, when they interviewed The Dare at Primavera Sound 2025. Topics included: which member of Girls does Harrison Patrick Smith think he is? Working with Charli XCX (naturally), being funny, bad taste and more. Line Noise comes with the support of Cupra. Photo by @leafhopper

Welcome back to Line Noise. After a bit of a summer break, we gently ease you back into things - well, not really - with an interview with Nu-UKG duo YU QT, aka Darryl Reid and James Cooper, who recently blew my - and many others' - mind with their devastating take on 2-Unlimited, Y'all Ready For Dis. Obviously we spoke about that but also about working with MCs, the cross-generational appeal of UKG , being closet romantics and a lot more. I hope you enjoy it. Look out for lots more from Line Noise - including video! - in the coming months. Line Noise comes to you with the support of Cupra.

I decided to dig into the archives to pull out the Radio Primavera Sound interview we did with BABII in July 2019, around the release of her fantastic album HiiDE. We talked about the sound of poisoning, being a carnivore, Margate heatwaves, Escape Room music and more
