Abbey Street 4

Play Dead Teaser

In 1994 Daniel Miller had a bunch of synths in his warehouse studio, & when I returned from Berlin I helped set everything up. As part of this process (in preparation, it turned out, for the series of Sunroof Remixes ) we did a number of improvisations. Initially the length of the session was determined by the length of the ADAT tape we recorded onto.
  
  After the Mute Offices at Harrow Road closed down we found the tapes (which I had sent over to Mute many years ago for transfer to hard disk) and now we have decided to release the sessions pretty much as they were.

Abbey Street 2

Schtumm 1 (dub)

Today’s show is dedicated to the OG electronic music heads! Synthpop wizard Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode, Yaz, Erasure) sat down with U.K. rave gods Paul and Phil Hartnoll of Orbital for a catch-up amidst the drool-worthy vintage synthesizer collection at Hook & Fade Studios here in Brooklyn. The old friends take us on a trip back through the dance scenes they were immersed in throughout the '80s and '90s, analyze the American and British music communities, and compare notes on the differences between the legendary old raves and today’s massive EDM festivals. And while on past podcast episodes we’ve heard very disparate takes on the way artists work up demos — Clams Casino’s iPhone apps, Yoshimi’s train riding — we’ve never heard anything remotely like Paul’s method. (And we’re guessing his dentist hadn’t, either.) Check it out.
