S1 E10 • Trainspotting (1996)

“Yes! You fuckin’ DANCER!”

For the final episode of Season 1, Dave and Tom dive headlong into the toilet bowl, to discuss the sonic chaos of Trainspotting.

It's a collection of tracks where Britpop, techno, and existential dread collide in a haze of ‘90s brilliance. Highlights include tunes that made Iggy Pop cool (again), Blur the kings of ennui, and Underworld the sound of your worst/best night out. 

Expect the usual Witty Banter™ and a deep dive into why ‘Lust for Life’ feels like a caffeinated sprint through bad decisions.

Among the very high-brow discussion, find out why Children in Need (R.I.P Sir Terry Wogan) and Heather Small of M-People played such a massive part in bringing the songs into Dave and Tom's lives. Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprise!?

S1 E10 • Trainspotting (1996)

This single is the first to be released from the 'Men In Love' album which is set to be released on the same day (July 24th) as Irvine Welsh's new book 'Men In Love' which starts exactly when the film 'Trainspotting' ends.

The book is being released by the world's biggest publisher, Penguin Random House, already has pre-orders in the tens of thousands, and is expected to be a No.1 bestseller. The timing of the book is perfect as this summer will be all about the 90's with the Oasis tour starting on July 4th.

'Men in Love' is a collaborative concept album by Irvine Welsh and The Sci-Fi Soul Orchestra, exploring the complexities of love, relationships, and the human condition. The album blends classic Motown and disco influences with contemporary electronic dance production, creating a unique and powerful sound that is both nostalgic and fresh.

From soaring anthems to intimate ballads, Men in Love takes the listener on a journey through the highs and lows of romance, celebrating the power of connection, vulnerability, and the enduring search for love in a chaotic world.

The album will be released concurrently with Welsh's new novel, also titled Men in Love. The book is a sequel to Welsh's seminal work, Trainspotting, and continues the story of Renton, Sick Boy, Spud, Begbie, and other beloved characters. The album serves as a sonic companion to the novel, with its themes, lyrics, and musical atmosphere reflecting the experience and inner turmoil of its characters. The album also introduces The Sci-Fi Soul Orchestra, a unique musical entity with their own unique music releases in the pipeline.

This first single, A Man In Love With Love, is sung by Shaun Escoffery, who has performed in The Lion King, in London's West End, for the past 17 years. Shaun delivers a heart-felt soul intro for the opening minute and a half, before the track explodes into disco inferno, guaranteed to get everyone onto the dancefloor.

A Man In Love With Love

The reactions to the first two singles from Irvine Welsh & The Sci-Fi Soul Orchestra has been nothing short of fabulous. 

Hot on their heels, and just ahead of the full release of the ‘Men In Love’ discotheque album — the companion to the same-name book, the sequel to Trainspotting — comes this fresh double header. 

Coming over like long-lost Salsoul nugget, ’A Whole New Side Of Me’ features some stunning vocals by singer Louise Marshall and a luxurious disco backing of brass, strings and keys. The seductive tale focuses on how love can free the spirit, allowing for free, un-self-conscious expression on the dancefloor. “When you going down to the disco, baby?” Louise enquires. “When you gonna get a little bit crazy?” 

Irvine himself has a whole explanation of the thinking behind ‘A Whole New Side Of Me’. “Love offers this massive potential for growth,” he says. “It offers you the ability to get in touch with parts and aspects of yourself that you’ve maybe underplayed, underutilised or not fully developed or explored. So, when you see people fall in love, you see a whole new side of them.” 

“Somebody who was maybe a bit boring or a bit kinda stuffy will suddenly be going out and having fun on the dancefloor. Somebody who was a bit crazy and irresponsible will suddenly shape up and get a bit more into knuckling down and earning a living. You see a whole new side of people because of this great opportunity for change. “Interestingly, love and loss are the two great opportunities we have in life to get out of our comfort zone,” Irvine continues. “We come up with all these clichés about being flexible and stuff like that, but it’s all bullshit. People aren't like that. People are kinda safe, they like to be in their comfort zones and to stay in their lanes, but the great opportunities in life are the genuine losses and the genuine loves. They’re the dramatic things that make us, that give us the space to reshape and to evaluate our lives.”

‘A Whole New Side of Me’ is backed by ‘Dreams’, an alluring, slower soulful cut that could’ve been plucked from a 70s romantic thriller. Some have already picked it out as their favourite track on the album — an exquisite slice of disco-soul heaven. 

Here’s what Irvine has to say about ‘Dreams’: “‘Dreams’ is a beautiful song but in some ways it’s an outlier. It feels like a Shirley Bassey/John Barry vocal orchestrated 70s dynamic Bond theme, but again very hopeful about the idea that love is basically about dreams, the fulfilment of dreams and about having the capacity to dream. 

“Love is to think and to feel romance, taking us out of the low frequency material world with all the legacies of corruption, control, racism and sexism, and being able to move on from that and hit the higher frequencies. “That’s also what music gives us, particularly discotheque music. It gives us that chance to lift ourselves out of this mire and to look around and see the blue skies above.”

A Whole New Side Of Me

The second single from Irvine Welsh & The Sci-Fi Soul Orchestra’s debut 'Men In Love' album is ‘You Gotta Be Strong’, featuring the stunning soulful vocals of Louise Marshall. The 'Men In Love' album is set to be released on the same day (July 24th) as Irvine Welsh's new book 'Men In Love’, the sequel to the era-defining 'Trainspotting'.

The book is being released by the world's biggest publisher, Penguin Random House, already has pre-orders in the tens of thousands, and is expected to be a No.1 bestseller. The timing of the book is perfect as this summer will be all about the 90's with the Oasis tour starting on July 4th.

The album also introduces The Sci-Fi Soul Orchestra, a unique musical entity with their own unique music releases in the pipeline.

This second single, ‘You Gotta Be Strong’, is sung by Louis Marshall, who has regularly performed with David Gilmour (she's the ‘Great Gig In The Sky’ vocal!) and Jools Holland’s Rhythm and Blues Orchestra. Louise delivers a powerful ultimatum to her man about staying strong. 

As Irvine Welsh, who wrote all the lyrics on the album, explains:

"This is a woman, saying “alright, you’re a man in love, I get it and all that, but for god’s sake, shake up.” You know, there’s an element to love that’s like gritting your teeth, digging your heels in, not a 'bringing home the bacon' thing. It’s not all about going to the pub, going to raves and parties, or Instagram and celebrating how beautiful and wonderful and great we all are. It’s also about the nuts and bolts of showing up every day and being there for that person, every day and listening to everything that’s going on in their life, being strong for them and allowing them to be strong for you.”

You Gotta Be Strong (Radio Edit)

DJ & Producteur Radio résidant dans la charmante ville de Die dans la Drôme.

Complètement fondu de musique jusqu'à la moelle, très tôt nourri au hip hop, aux musiques électroniques, à tous les styles de jazz, de funk, de rock, de bass music, de breakbeats, à la musique du Monde et à toutes sortes de fusions et de mélanges, je me suis rapidement retrouvé avec des platines entre les mains et une pile de disques de plus en plus volumineuse qui m'ont naturellement amené à vouloir partager, sensibiliser, cultiver et faire danser.

Au fil des années, jouant dans les soirées aux côtés de mes copains KaMiKaZe, Låxe, Romain Guitet ou Goldi, j'aime refléter mes influences très larges dans mes DJ sets. Ayant grandi à Paris et passé une partie de mon temps à Berlin, la vie nocturne et les clubs m'ont aussi donné un coup de foudre pour la techno et la house que j'aime tout spécialement jouer en tant que DJ.

Aujourd'hui résidant dans le sud de la France, entre Provence et montagne, je continue "au vert" d'assouvir ma passion musicale en produisant avec mon compère Goldi l'émission "BACK 2 BACK" et, en solo à partir de 2024, l'émission "APÉRO STÉRÉO" sur RDWA 107.5 FM (Diois, Drôme) et de jouer de temps à autres dans les bars et les soirées locales.

DJ & Radio Producer based in the charming town of Die in Drôme, France.

A music fanatic to the core, I was brought up at an early age on hip hop, electronic music, all styles of jazz, funk, rock, bass music, breakbeats, world music and all kinds of fusions and mixes. I soon found myself with turntables in my hands and an ever-growing stack of records, which naturally led me to want to share, educate, cultivate and get people dancing.

Over the years, playing at parties alongside my buddies KaMiKaZe, Låxe, Romain Guitet and Goldi, I like to reflect my wide-ranging influences in my DJ sets. Having grown up in Paris and spent part of my time in Berlin, the nightlife and club scene also led me to fall in love with techno and house, which I especially enjoy playing as a DJ.

Now living in the south of France, between Provence and mountains, I continue to indulge my musical passion "au vert", producing the "BACK 2 BACK" radio show with my mate Goldi and, solo from 2024, the "APÉRO STÉRÉO" radio show on RDWA 107.5 FM (Diois, Drôme), as well as playing the occasional gig in local bars and parties.

A daft new podcast where two mates take a look at the greatest soundtracks the world has to offer. Movies, TV shows, video games and all manner of audio silliness.
