This month we’re on episode 83 and my guest is Berlin based DJ, producer, and subglow boss CCL.

Even if you’ve never seen a @ccl-url DJ set, you’ve probably listened to one of their many, many mixtapes — the consummate dreamweaver, CCL’s musical storytelling is unparalleled in its ingenuity. Unbound by genre, tempo, or style, and with a massive archive to back them up, CCL’s mixtapes are a lesson in world-building and deep sonic imagination. Their T4T mixtape A Night At the Skull Discotheque, and their NTS series Invisible Cities, which transforms an imagined city into a musical journey, have become instant classics, a perfect extension of their DJing which also seeks to explore, experiment, and express. In this conversation, we delve into CCL’s relationship to creativity, their commitment to pushing their own boundaries, and their pursuit of explosive imagination.
