#010 Appleblim
Appleblim came to prominence in the mid-2000s as part of the Skull Disco label which he ran with the highly singular producer known as Shackleton. He was a big part of the 'second wave' of artists who emerged from the formative dubstep scene in London, and became synonymous with the 'post-dubstep' movement from 2008-2012. In recent years he has released albums on Sneaker Social Club and continued to DJ around the world. We talk about the very early period of the dubstep scene in London, the life of a touring DJ, the legend of Skull Disco, and many other things... Appleblim is a raconteur and you will enjoy this episode!

#009 Mano Le Tough
Mano Le Tough emerged as a DJ and producer of note in late 00s Berlin, in the wake of the minimal sound that had defined that decade and of which he was not a particular fan. Originally from a small town outside Dublin, he made his bones as a DJ in the Irish capital before decamping to Germany after Tensnake picked up his first effort on Ableton via Myspace. We talk about all of that, plus his voyages around the worldwide club scene, the decline of Ibiza, whether the album format makes sense for club music, the RA top DJs poll, and much else besides. A deep dive into the mind of one of the European underground's favourite DJs.
