Headliner Radio

We chat to Portishead's multi-talented synth fiend, Adrian Utley, whose music production skills are almost as impressive as his collection of vintage Moogs! And don't get us started on his guitars... We talk all things music, drawing inspiration from the great outdoors, and how the right mix of madness and genius is what made Portishead so uniquely creative.

We chat to Australian session drummer and producer, Mike Avenaim, whose musical life since relocating to the US has been extremely fruitful. We talk recording techniques, drum kits (he has many!), and how Neve's revamped RMX16 is working wonders on drum verbs.

We chat to FOH engineer, Serge Gräfe, about his creative process with Kraftwerk: using immersive audio to transform the live sound experience, and keeping up with the immersive community and the band when tweaking the system during lockdown. 

In this second part of our Behind the Brand interview with Martin Seidl, CEO of microphone manufacturer, Austrian Audio, we find out how the firm is coping during lockdown, adapting to the changes within the industry, and bringing production in-house.

We chat to Audrey Mika about her amazing musical journey. From YouTube cover star to original hit-maker, delving into music production along the way, Audrey has gone from singing into a pink toy mic to delivering top quality material that is achieving tens of millions of streams.   

We chat to renowned DJ and producer, Ummet Ozcan, on the day 'Seesaw', his latest single, is released. We talk about creative mixing, production techniques, his obsession with sound design, and his brand new Jan Morel-designed recording studio. 

We chat to Chase Lawrence, affable frontman of US pop rock band, COIN. After a relentless touring schedule, he's staying just as busy during quarantine, enjoying some family time, and listening to just enough Radiohead. 

We chat to San Diego-born creative, Helena Holleran, about her musical life: from recording her recent EP fully live to launching her own music festival, and how social media is extremely helpful for getting constructive criticism on brand new material. 

We chat to revered sound designer and FOH engineer, Colin Pink, about his extraordinary career so far: from his early days working at the National Theatre during the advent of digital consoles where he learned how to 'dial in an orchestra', to designing the sound for mega-events including the BRITs and MTV EMAs, as well as Hans Zimmer's huge touring productions and Derren Brown's unique (and often scary!) live spectacles.

We catch up with super-talented creative, Alexis Taylor, of brilliant synth-pop specialists, Hot Chip - and an accomplished solo artist in his own right. We chat about and listen to songs from the band's latest album, and find out how Alexis is staying creative during lockdown writing new material for his next project.
