    #143 The End Is Nigh: Counterculture, insurrection, Gladiator, and the politics of catastrophe

    I am back from holiday, and of course during my break events occurred. Back in 2016, Trump's win was a nasty shock. But ultimately as it panned out, the worst of it was confined to a generally queasy sense of chaos, the Trump family's probably-illegal self-enrichment, and the trashing of the public finances in the pursuit of all time highs on the S&P500. That was until the attempted insurrection of January 6 2021, an event which should've disqualified the incumbent from ever being involved in politics again. This time around it feels totally different - much more so given the hand waving of that event and the apparently serious and organised nature of the incoming administration. Things could get bad. But why did they win? You've probably had a bellyfull of election coverage already, but the relationship the forces at play here have with some of the broad themes discussed on the show recently mean we have to get into it. Themes like counterculture, the declining importance of music and musicians, the debasement of culture more generally. And the failure of the other side of politics to construct a coherent alternative to the coming chaos. We'll have a guest on next week but this one is just me... so buckle up!

    #142 SP:MC: DnB from AWOL via Autonomic to now, "it got pretty smashy for a while...!"

    SP:MC is an MC (ofc), DJ, and producer from the UK, mostly inhabiting the DnB space but who also regularly ventures into other areas of bass music and beyond. We discuss the DnB scene in the US (where he was on tour when we recorded this conversation) as well as in the UK, his formative years MCing with DJ Friction, his journey as a producer, and also a few of the topical scene issues we've been discussing in recent weeks too.

    #141 Man Power II: Small venues and big artists, "there's been no thought whatsoever about sustainability"

    We have discussed this thread on a few recent episodes of the podcast, so it seemed appropriate to have the man himself back on the show to discuss it. Man Power has been making waves in the UK scene since our last conversation on episode 52, with his parties at the Are You Affiliated venue and willingness to speak his mind on various topics affecting the grassroots club scene. Obviously this makes him a great candidate for an NDP episode and we here we have it. I'm currently on holiday but will be back in a couple of weeks, in case anything in this episode isn't entirely up to the minute!

    #138 Shackleton: Bass, mystery, and devastating beauty, "adding too much literal narrative misses the point of the music"

    *****ANNOUNCEMENT***** Join us for the first ever Not A Diving Club at fabric in London on Thursday 24 Oct, an evening of chat and unreleased bangers from 8pm til late. DJs on the night will be Minder b2b Machine Woman Oneman b2b Lu.Re T.Williams b2b Tasha Scuba b2b Braille This will be a FREE ENTRY EVENT but you must be on the advance signup list to get in -> sign up here. --- To call Shackleton an enigmatic figure would be to understate the case, especially in the context of the modern music scene. The requirements of the modern musician to constantly explain themselves, preferably direct to camera on social media, are so far from the operating system of this week's guest as to be entirely alien. So to welcome him to the podcast is a great privilege. A co-founder of the legendary Skull Disco label, veteran of the embryonic dubstep scene, and subsequent traveller through musical psychedelia, he's a producer with an instantly recognisable style who has managed to develop it in surprising ways while keeping absolutely true to his musical principles. This is an extremely rare Shackleton interview so there was much to discuss, and we get deep into his highly prolific recent catalogue, his transplant to Germany and relationship with his home country, as well as that formative period in the movement that became known as dubstep.

    #137 Kölsch: Small clubs, festivals, and the community, "No-one cares about the local talent anymore"

    *****ANNOUNCEMENT***** Join us for the first ever Not A Diving Club at fabric in London on Thursday 24 Oct, an evening of chat and unreleased bangers from 8pm til late. This will be a FREE ENTRY EVENT but you must be on the advance signup list to get in -> sign up here. On with the show... Rune Reilly Kölsch is one of the biggest names on the melodic techno circuit, a long time member of the Kompakt Records roster and collaborator with names including previous NDP guest Tiga and Jane's Addiction frontman and part-time boxer Perry Farrell.  He's also a very thoughtful guy with a huge amount of experience, having released his first record back in 1995, so a perfect guest for the show. We cover the small clubs vs festivals debate, the recent question of should big acts lower their fees to play small venues, the history of the scene in his home town of Copenhagen, and his process of making music. We also get into the impact and legacy of the EDM boom of the early 2010s, and the extent of his direct involvement in it. This is a really good one with some great insights, you're gonna love it.
