Those two were really popular, surprisingly so. We haven't done a solo pod since the 'Thoughts On Releasing Music' two-parter which covered episodes 58 and 59. I love this sort of conversation, and you're definitely going to enjoy listening to it. streaming platforms, musical gatekeepers, media snobbery, the commercialisation of dance music, local scenes, and a lot more meaty stuff besides. He's just released a book entitled First Floor Vol 1, and we spend most of this week's episode digging into some of the issues covered in it. Shawn Reynaldo is a former editor of XLR8R, and contributor to many of the august music publications we all love to hate, but now operates mostly out of his First Floor platform on Substack. Maybe to the extent that I've been a bit unfair on the overall quality of music writing today, and having a total ban on music writers on the show was also possibly taking things a bit too far. Is music journalism in as bad a place as people say it is? I've certainly said it. This is a good one, and you're going to enjoy it!

We discuss all of the above, plus delving into her journey as a musician from beginnings in the Paris club scene in the early 90s, recent developments in AI and spacial audio, and the cultural importance of clubs in the development of electronic music and culture. But there's a lot more to it than Daft Punk and Justice.Ĭhloé Thévenin has been a key figure in Paris for the last two decades, as resident at the hugely important night Le Pulp, and at Rex Club, while also developing a reputation as a highly technical producer operating in different styles and in collaboration with a range of musicians. You know the names, and you definitely know the tracks. Paris is rarely cited (somewhat unfairly) as one of the key cities of electronic music, but the influence of French musicians is absolutely huge. This was a good one, you're gonna enjoy it! So we discuss issues including the decline of local scenes, the value of gatekeepers, the comparative lack of anthems in contemporary music, as well as his substack project Herb Sundays. Of course we discuss Ghostly, and particularly the early period of the label, but I really want to pick Sam's brain on a few of the key issues which came out of that episode from a few weeks ago. This episode is actually almost a sequel to episode 077 with Shawn Reynaldo. Ghostly International was launched in 1999 by Sam Valenti with a single by fledgling producer Matthew Dear which would go on to be sampled on a global hit by Fedde Le Grand.

And 'Musicality' which for a mere $10 a month gets you all the music we release on Hotflush and affiliate labels AND other music too, some of which never comes out anywhere else. If you're into what we're doing here on the pod then you can support the show on Patreon! There are two tiers - 'Solidarity' for $4 a month, which features regular bonus podcasts and extra content. and I'm pretty sure it's going to be a good one!

It was a fun conversation to have and an illuminating look into the running of one of the few other podcasts of this sort that goes out every week.īack on schedule next Tuesday with a full ep. We discuss many familiar issues, including the music press, social media, and the running of record labels. So to fill the podcast gap we present my appearance on the Will Clarke podcast from a few weeks ago. I've latterly decided to extend my break by another seven days, just because I realised that I really need it. Despite the appearance given by my conversation with Sam Valenti, I was on holiday last week.
