DJ ROO- Politics of Dancing 8/30/24-with KARL K

This is the Politics of Dancing interview series from 9/13/24.
This week I had the amazing experience to chat with Marsh a British.. now American Dj and Producer, mostly known for his work on Anjuna Deep Recordings. He is embarking upon his solo Dj and production tour , kicking off the US leg here in Philly! He and I spoke for nearly an hour about his craft, his process, gear he uses, the stresses and joys of tour life, what it was like getting signed to Anjuna Deep, making the epic “Come Together” with Nox VAhn and those wild “on the road” sets that he produces and records with the help of a multicamera set up and drones in some of the worlds most stunning locations. 

Now,with more singles than than I can count, three albums deep into his career and with the acclaim and success of his latest body of work,‘Endless’ in 2023, he embarks upon Aria , a multi-city US tour.  

Tom has an array of widely supported anthems in his discography, streaming well into the millions and winning support from electronic music’s biggest artists, including Cassian, Pete Tong, Diplo, RÜFÜS DU SOL and of course….. ME! 
Tom-  Marsh I am delighted to have you in studio with me today.

12/20/24- Politics of Dancing Interview Series- Lost Astronaut
Today I wrap up 2024 with one of my favorite new producers, well new to me anyway, Lost Astronaut. 
As with the others we talk about his history as a producer, his influences, why break beats remain his go-to form of expression and what it has been like to have some of the biggest names in the industry play his tracks on a global stage.  We discuss the success of his album, Was it all a dream, released on Morphosis earlier this year and how he has come to find community and support on Twitch. Lost_astronaut_music

This interview, like the others, is available to listen anytime on Soundcloud.com/wkdu in the POD interview series playlist.I want to thank all the talent that have given me the time and space to talk to them this year and also thank their production teams, management and club owners who graciously helped make space in their busy schedules.

Mostly though I want to Thank you, my listeners so much for all of your support in listening to POD this year, it has truly been one of the most exciting and inspirational of my career so far.. even after 20 plus years on the air its so thrilling to be able to speak to and play music from artists all over the world that find a home in progressive breakbeat and to have you all give me thumbs up on Soundcloud, Instagram and here on the air at WKDU.

Next week on December 27th, I will be airing my best of 2024 set and I am so excited to share my favorites, in no particular order, with you this year. It has been a great one!
