This month's pod is the multi-faceted Scuba, who broke through 20 years go as part of London's burgeoning dubstep scene but has since wandered all over the place, genre-wise and geographically. We chat about dubstep, Guns 'N' Roses, what makes a good DJ and Simple Minds. It's a goodie, this one.

DJ Kerry is the woman who built a nightclub in her suburban basement in Los Angeles, where she throws monthly parties to a select audience. It may well be the best party in the United States right now. In conversation, Kerry explains how she did it – and why.

Eric Kupper's entry in the dance music world came via a session with Justin Strauss in 1986. Since then he's worked on thousands of sessions (often uncredited) as well as writing 'The Whistle Song' for Frankie Knuckles. In this wide-ranging interview we cover everything from the early days of house in New York to the effect Ronald Reagan had on culture.

This month’s podcast guest is a legend of our field, Marshall Jefferson, responsible for many of the early Chicago house classics. We talk about sampling, getting his masters back and why Ce Ce Rogers’ Someday was banned in South Africa.

Kaidi Tatham was one of the driving forces in the explosive London scene of broken beat. Subsequent to that, he’s guested on keys for numerous people as well as regularly releasing his own, soulful gear. Listen to him reflecting on his life and also winning a Grammy with Jazzy Jeff.

A DJ’s DJ, Jane Fitz has been in and around the London underground scene for around three decades now, making her name originally with Peg Party, followed by Night Moves and a residency at Pickle Factory. We discuss the art of building and sustaining a party and plenty of chat about Italy and its many obscure record labels and parties. 

French-Canadian Fred Everything first made his name outside his native homeland with a brilliant bootleg mix of N’Dea Davenport’s ‘Bring It On’. He has subsequently released five albums under his name, plus a recent ambient release under the moniker All Is Well. We talked deep Canadian history, the creative process and where to find good house music (clue: gay clubs). 

Kate Hutchinson is our guest in March. Kate began her career on the nightlife desk at Time Out, being tutored by TO legend Dave Swindells. She wound up as Clubs Editor there, before going on to build a successful career as a DJ, presenter, freelance writer and woman-about-town. Also check her podcast series, The Last Bohemians, it’s ace!

Yet another encounter with one of the dons of drum and bass, Fabio, who talks liquid D&B (new Generation Liquid comp out now), spending a grand a week on dubplates and the hilarious consequences of taking E before DJing in Italy.
