Line Noise

William Basinski is the most rock and roll artist in the history of avant garde music. We caught up with him and composer Maxim Moston at Primavera Sound 2024, where Basinski was performing his classic album Disintegration Tapes live, for which Moston wrote the orchestral transcription. We spoke about everything from the wisdom of aging to how on earth you transcribe vinyl crackle. Line Noise is with the support of Cupra. Picture by Cecilia Diaz Betz. 

Chloé Caillet is a rising star in house music, with her globe-trotting sound and SMIILE concept club night. I spoke to her at the Primavera Sound festival about playing Madison Square Garden, loving Ed Banger and remixing Beck. Line Noise is supported by Cupra.

Line Noise is taking part in the 30th anniversary celebrations of Barcelona's famed club, Nitsa, including interviews with some of the key players in Nitsa's history. In episode five, we talk to  Ferran Camarasa, the club’s current manager, plus promoter (with Somoslas) and DJ, who started to work in Nitsa in 1997. He talked about his history with the club, why Nitsa is special, running a club in 2024 and his special DJ tracks. Plus, we examine the history of dance music from 2004 to 2006, when Electroclash, Ed Banger and LCD Soundsystem were king. 

Después de su actuación sorpresa en la Boiler Room de Primavera Sound 2024, Ralphie Choo y Drummie pasan por el estudio de RPS en su primera entrevista conjunta para hablar con nosotros de este año meteórico, del significado de "Supernova", aprender a gestionar la fama, la familia de Rusia IDK y mucho más.

Music journalist, label owner, DJ and former Line Noise presenter Philip Sherburne makes a return to the programme to review the highlights of the first day of Sónar 2024, including Olof Dreijer & Diva Cruz and Team Rolfes, and to look forward to the rest of the electronic music festival, with recommendations aplenty

At the Primavera Sound festival this year Johann Wald and I were lucky enough to put together two titans of modern pop music, AG Cook and Sega Bodega, for an epic Line Noise conversation into the state of music, from hyperpop to Britpop, Caroline Polachek to Charli XCX. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said this was one of my favourite Line Noises ever. So enjoy.

Today on Line Noise we welcome one of my favourite musicians of all time: Laetitia Sadier, of Stereolab, Monade, the Laetitia Sadier Source Ensemble and also a fantastic solo artist. I caught up with her in May when she played in Barcelona with the Source Ensemble. In the interview we talked about France, politics, not being a Marxist, religion, the age of Aquarius, water shortage and so much more, including her brilliant recent album Rooting For Love, which is out now on Drag City. Go and buy it; go and listen to it; and go and check out one of her gigs. Line Noise is with the support of Cupra.

To mark the 20th anniversary of famed British label Hyperdub, Line Noise organised a round-table interview with four of the label's key artists - founder Kode9, Ikonika, DJ Haram and Heavee - at Primavera Sound 2024. The results were fascinating, swinging from the obsession of running a record label to every artist's favourite Hyperdub songs. Picture by Cecila Diaz Betz.

Today we welcome to Line Noise Matt Edwards, aka remixer, producer and DJ extraordinaire Radio Slave, whose new album Venti is an epic work of imagination and house grind. We talked about covers, J Dilla, Kylie Minogue, Berlin, remixing, Rekids and more.

Our guest on Line Noise this week is Detroit’s utterly charming DJ Holographic. We spoke about liquid jungle, Detroit parties, country music, shadow work, astrology and so much more.
