Interviews with the one and only Kenny Dixon Jr are as rare as a sober person at BLOC so I’m really looking forward to watching this when I finish work today. The little write up on the post from the Red Bull Music Academy site makes it sound highly entertaining. I hope it delivers!
Watch it [...]
I know it ain’t the second half of the ISM interview with Shake from 2.5 years ago (which is still on a cassette tape somewhere in my house!), but it is a brand new interview with the man over at Resident Advisor. I actually did the interview a little while back, but it’s still all [...]
Most techno producers seem to want to gravitate towards Berlin, the Mecca of all things technoid, but not native German Arne Weinberg, a man who has built up an impressive musical CV for himself in the last decade. He has set up shop in Scotland, Glasgow to be precise, for the last couple of years, [...]
Vince Watson, the veteran Scottish producer, is not a name that you will see regularly hyped, but he has been making his music, his way, for well over a decade and is set to unleash a whole host of releases with his recently relaunched Bio label (unfortunately, digitally only at present) and with another new [...]

TLR, known to his schoolteachers as Jeroen van der Star, now 38, went from organizing grimy squat parties in [...]
I just posted an article about the Egyptian Lover over at Intergalactic FM: Nile Style: The Resurgence of the Egyptian Lover’s Empire. Because I know how you guys at ISM love the nitty-gritty details, I’m posting the full text of the interviews I did by phone and email with the Lover here.

William Burnett is a man of many names in the electronic music world. Speculator, for his eclectic weekly show “Short Bus Radio” on New York’s East Village radio. And there’s Smackulator for his ghetto house-inspired creations with Legowelt, who he also makes short films with. He’s released solo albums [...]
It was about a year and a half ago when we kicked this blog off with an exclusive interview with Omar-S. At that time, he was blowing up the underground left and right. Our interview with him was the first one out there, and I think any readership that we got initially can be traced [...]
