My guest this week is New York-via-Chicago producer and DJ, DJ Rude One. We spoke about Megalopolis, the works of David Cronenberg and Willem Dafoe, our love for Metrograph and the movie theater experience, his extensive history as a DJ and producer, embracing a slow production process, working a day job and making music for the passion, and the creative process behind his latest album Upper Space. Come fuck with us.

Upper Space is available wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen. Consider copping the digital download or a vinyl directly from Rude One's Bandcamp page. Follow Rude One on Instagram (@djrudeone), Twitter (@djrude1), and Bluesky (@djrudeone.bsky.social).
