KGNU host Jessica Numbers sits down with DJ and music industry veteran Peter Wohelski to discuss the roots and resurgence of ambient house, chill-out culture, and community radio. Wohelski reflects on the early rave era, highlighting influential artists such as Future Sound of London, The Orb, and The Shamen, and explores how experimental electronic music bridged dance floors and listening spaces.

The conversation also traces Wohelski’s work with Detroit techno pioneer Carl Craig and Planet E Communications, including the Inner Zone Orchestra and the Geology compilations. Looking ahead, Wohelski shares his perspective on the renewed interest in vinyl, long-form DJ sets, intentional listening, and non-commercial radio as meaningful alternatives to algorithm-driven music culture.
