This week Seán chats to Phonk producer and Purple Posse co-founder Backwhen for a deep dive into his journey from discovering wave music all the way to watching phonk explode into a global movement.

The two revisit some of the questions they covered from their B2B last year for Stay Cool #081 including his early origins, moving from Indiana to Denver and so on, before discussing more recent topics like DJ Smokey’s hosting of Skrillex’s mixtape earlier this year, and crucially, the state of Phonk given Drift Phonk’s continually drowning out of Phonk and it’s roots.

If you’re into wave, phonk, underground culture or just love hearing artists get candid about their craft, this one’s for you.
