Attack Magazine Podcast

Octave One, Kink, Honeysmack, and many others performed live a decade ago.

Yet, in recent years, it feels as if it’s exploded in popularity. Gear is more available, there are more affordable and longer-lasting machines, and there is a sense it's a growing community.

In Episode 4 of the Attack Pig Room Podcast, we speak to Christopher Coe, who runs Awesome Soundwave with Carl Cox, a label for live electronic musicians.

If you're fed up with the current streaming landscape, it's worth learning about Audius. With a community of 6 million now, they've established themselves in a difficult sector.

In Episode 3 of the Attack Podcast we speak to co-founders Roneil Rumburg CEO & Forrest Browning CPO about the current streaming market, how Audius is changing things and why it's a marathon, not a sprint towards a fairer system for artists.

Octave One are one of electronic music's most alluring live acts.

But what does it take to keep the show on the road? And as brothers, does it hinder or help?

We're pleased to introduce our new podcast series. Kicking things off we welcome Inner City for an hour-long chat about their new single 'Reach', how they view the pros and cons of social media, production and, in particular, groove.

In episode 06 of Change The Record, we speak with Nicky Böhm, Refuge Worldwide‘s community development manager. Refuge began as a fundraising platform, working alongside grassroots and non-profit organisations. In January 2021, they launched the weekly radio station Refuge Worldwide to share and discuss music and important issues.

In episode 05 of Change The Record, we sit down with Ruth Daniel, CEO and creative director of the global charity, In Place of War. Through the organisation, creativity is used as a tool to produce positive change in places of conflict.

In Episode 04 of Change The Record, we sit down with James Martin and Gabriella D'Annunzio. James recently released his book 'Turn The Tables - A DJ Cookbook' with proceeds going towards Gaby's Open Music Lab a volunteer-powered music school in Berlin.

In this episode, DJ and radio host Niks Delanancy, founder of the Black Artist Database, discusses the impact of the Black Live Matter protests upon dance music. 

In times of COVID-19, isolation, loss of income, fear and uncertainty about the future have taken a heavy toll on all of our mental health. However, there are aspects of working in dance music that can compound problems and prevent people from reaching out for help. 

In this episode, Tristan Hunt from the Association for Electronic Music and Matthew Benjamin aka Bushwacka share their personal journey with mental health, tips on how to mentally cope with this pandemic and what needs to be done to create a post-COVID-19 industry where musicians struggle less with their mental health.
