EP030 | Man Power | The reason why clubbing culture is dying


Listen Later

Jacky and Pete explore the transformation of clubbing culture with Geoff Kirkwood, known artistically as 'Man Power'. This episode delves into the repercussions of the 'business techno' model that prioritises profit over community, fundamentally altering the essence of clubbing.


Geoff discusses his initiative at 'King Street Social', a venue that champions the original communal spirit of the electronic music scene. This project, born out of his disenchantment with the industry's shift towards commercialisation, emphasises human connections over digital interactions, encouraging patrons to disconnect from their phones and engage more deeply with the experience.


Through candid insights, Man Power criticises the current state of electronic music, influenced heavily by corporate interests that prioritise spectacle over substance. He shares his personal shift away from relentless touring to create spaces that resonate with the authentic values of clubbing, discussing his appearances on mainstream media platforms where he advocates for the preservation of true clubbing culture.
