    #189 Hannah Laing

    Podcast Overview: Hannah & Will discuss performance anxiety & coping mechanisms, how Hannah's career grew so quickly, having a dance track in the UK top 10 charts and knowing her sound.
    Who is Hannah Laing: Having cemented herself as a true maven of the peak time banger via a series of high-energy features on the likes of Solardo’s Sola, Patrick Topping’s TRICK, Jax Jones Presents and Spinnin’ Records, a succession of sell-out club nights under her own outfit, plus upcoming shows at the likes of DC10 and Warehouse Project — it’s hard to look away from Dundee born-and-raised DJ and producer Hannah Laing’s unstoppable trajectory to the top. Rapturous new single ‘Climax’ on WUGD joins a slew of big room, blissed-out anthems spanning house, techno and everything in between — including her knockout 2019 bootleg of Sophie Ellis Bextor’s iconic 2001 hit ‘Murder On The Dancefloor’, a rework that earned Laing global acclaim and the notice of some of the biggest names in the business, including FISHER who dropped the track during most sets in 2019.

    #188 A Trak

    Podcast Overview: A-Trak & Will discuss growing up in limelight, producing versus DJing, sacrifices that come with a music career & his relationship with Kayne.
    Who is A-Trak: Very few DJs can jump from club sets to high-profile festival performances, to Kanye West’s larger-than-life stadium shows with ease. In today’s DJ culture, A-Trak holds a truly unique place. He founded 2007’s most buzzworthy label, Fool’s Gold, with a mission to merge all aspects of club music. The manifesto for this fusion was outlined on his first official mixtape: Dirty South Dance, which set the tone for Trizzy’s very own production, each acapella or track re-edited to create something fresh. In a matter of a few months, his signature remixes (for, amongst others, Boys Noize and Simian Mobile Disco) and  his original tracks (Say Whoa produced for Nike and released on Kitsune) and a collaboration with Laidback Luke (Shake it down) were gaining support from the likes of Erol Alkan, Busy P, DJ AM, Annie Mac, MSTRKRFT and Boys Noize.

    #186 Carl Cox 7 Christopher Coe

    #186 Carl Cox 7 Christopher Coe

    Podcast Overview: Christopher, Carl & Will discuss signing artists, the impact of covid on the industry, finding good music & the live electronic scene.
    Who is Christopher Coe: Christopher Coe is an Irish born, Australian-raised live artist and techno producer from Melbourne. Coe also partners with Carl Cox in their live electronic label Awesome Soundwave. From 2014 to 2016 he designed, built and ran the ID&T/Beatport studio in Amsterdam where he coached new artists and collaborated with many established artists. He now works with Carl as his co-producer and engineer in the studio that Carl commissioned him to create in 2017. Coe has produced and released his own work over many years, previously as Digital Primate, and continues to perform both in Australia and live around the world from Creamfields UK to Fabrik Madrid, DC10 Ibiza, to the huge Amsterdam Dance Event for Awakenings.
    Who Is Carl Cox: One of the most charming DJs in the business. A musical ambassador and a veteran of acid house, a champion of techno, a dance music pioneer, label owner, King of Ibiza – you name it, Carl’s been there and done it, never losing sight of his passions – playing music, breaking tunes and celebrating life. Carl formed his own label, Intec Records, in 1999, scoring a series of underground hits and enjoying eight years at the forefront of electronic music. After its closure in 2006, Carl was still inundated with new music, finally deciding to re-launch the label as Intec Digital in 2010, and it’s been a triumphant return, thanks to exclusives from some of the biggest names in techno. Intec Digital was also the home for Carl’s 6th studio album, ‘All Roads Lead To the Dancefloor', released to critical acclaim in 2011. And of course Carl’s name cannot be mentioned without Ibiza. His legendary Ibiza residency at Space came to an end in 2016, after an unbelievable 15 consecutive years. Since 2001 Carl helped establish Space as one of the biggest clubs in the world. With carefully thought out line ups, and as much emphasis on new talent as big names, Carl always strived to keep his night at the forefront of Ibiza clubbing making it one of the most successful residencies in Ibiza history. Starting out in 2001 with just 6 nights, his residency grew and adapted as the club did, so for Carl it was only right to end his residency as Space itself closed its doors. And what a way to go out. Carl’s final 15 week season was his biggest ever, with every single night selling out, heralded by fans and critics alike as a triumphant finale to a piece of dance history.

Insightful, respectful… a must gave addition to your podcasts!

Been listening to this podcast for well over a year, the line up of artists, guests Will brings onto the show is literally second to none.

Hosted soooooo well from Will, naturally done, without any ego, which really puts the guest at ease and we get THE best podcast as a result.

Queue it up… trust me you won’t be disappointed 🙏🏻

Always a interesting episode

Been listening since day one. Only a few episodes I have missed and not listened to. Feel like I know already so much about Will that I sense what he is going to say before he says it.

Theres few I have listened back more than once. Keep up the good work, as a music producer I love hearing other like minded people chat.

Sugestion talk more about technical stuff, producer related, go in details. Peace and Love
