Wire Podcast Wire Leeds

Vladimir Ivkovic is one of dance’s music’s most enigmatic figures. Though he has been involved in club music for about two decades as a promoter and DJ, he garnered fame more recently as a resident at Düsseldorf’s Salons des Amateurs club alongside Lena Willikens, Toulouse Low Trax and Wolf Muller. His unique wrong-speed selections helped to maintain this following, earning him big festival slots around the world and reaching a peak as Resident Advisor invited him to guest on their “Art of DJing” feature.

Upon first look the Belgrade born DJ could be perceived as a mystically opaque if not intimidating Rasputin character. But behind the beard is a tender and gentle man who goes about life seeking moments of beauty, nostalgia, love, friendship and deep listening. In this third Wire podcast, Vladimir and our host Oli discuss his new IDM compilation with Ivan Smagghe, managing Loco Dice’s Desolat label, playing Wire with fellow “freaks” Simon Scott and Conor Thomas and the recurrence of memory.

Elijah joins us for Wire Podcast 02. DJ, producer, label boss, journalist, promoter and manager - Elijah’s many accolades include co-founding Butterz, being a familiar name on Rinse FM and of course being the man behind the Jamz events that quaked Tuesday nights in the venue week in week out.

Join us discussing Butterz 10th anniversary, Grime's entry into the mainstream, Elijah’s favourite memories in the Wire basement and much more.

Thank you to everyone that has tuned in to our podcast so far.

We start with Joe Seaton, aka Call Super. He’s been on the scene for the best part of a decade now, and has become a firm favourite around the globe  He’s played Wire twice, once for Butter Side Up in 2017, and secondly on his own playing all night long from open to close in 2019. We hope you enjoy.
