En 2024 XL Recordings compleix 35 anys i a Sampleòpolis volem aprofitar l’efemèride per a dedicar un monogràfic a un segell fonamental per a la música electrònica.

En aquest episodi ens capbussarem al catàleg d’una discogràfica icònica a través, fonamentalment, de “Liberation Through Hearing” l’autobiografia del productor i propietari d’XL, Richard Russell, publicada per White Rabbit en 2020.
