    Raving from Montreal to Congo to Ivory Coast with Moonshine's San Farafina and Hervé

    Journey from Montreal to various raves on the African continent with San Farafina and Hervé from Montréal's post-border interdiscipinary collective Moonshine. We explore their journey from throwing full-moon house parties in 2014 to linking up with the African diaspora around the globe, along the way building a brand, creative hub, and party institution. We hear about what's going on in Kinshasa, Abidjan, Dar es Salaam, Lisbon and beyond and learn how not even electricity cuts, high tides, police and giant insects can keep them from a party. We also discuss their relationship to Vanyfox (our guest on episode #39), the evolution of batida, the changing landscape of DJing worldwide and our run-ins with Game of Thrones characters at the rave. Hosted by Vivian Host (aka DJ Star Eyes). For more info and extras, visit Ravetothegrave.org or Instagram @ravetothe.grave.

    Vanyfox on Batida, Angolan Rhythms, African DJ Adventures and Making Deep Melodias

    Vanyfox is a DJ/producer taking the Portugal-born dance music genre batida to the world. Raised on the outskirts of Lisbon near the Quinta do Mocho neighborhood (home to many batida pioneers including Marfox and DJ Nervoso) and based in France, Vanyfox discusses his early memories and the emotions, experiences and production techniques that influence his sound, which borrows from trap, deep house and the rhythms of kuduro, kizomba and zouk. We talk about the deep life questions behind his Melodias e Choros EP, working with Montreal's Moonshine crew, his Angolan-Zairean heritage, the lineage of the coxes and foxes, his approach to DJing and his unique experiences traveling to Ivory Coast, Zanzibar, Saudi Arabia, and Ethiopia.

    Paul Harrington on Acid House Ecstasy, Hooliganism and Finding Heaven and Hell in Ibiza

    Paul Harrington is a British raver with a story to tell. A story about getting arrested in Ibiza with hundreds of E's in a cereal box. A story about the London acid house spots of the late 1980s and early 90s and running with violent football firms until euphoric anthems and a night on the doves at Legends turned his life around. A story about trading Hummers for mangoes with Afghani arms dealers. This real estate dealer from Essex fell into the London club scene fast and hard, lived a wild life, crawled out of cocaine addiction in his 40s and is now writing an autobiography about the whole thing called Beautiful Chaos. While we wait for the book to emerge, I spoke to Paul about burning bright, turning up, burning out and his adventures with the E Team. Hosted by Vivian Host (aka DJ Star Eyes).

    HAAi on Doofs, Pingers, Acid Lizards and Risk-Taking in Techno

    In anticipation of her new album, HUMANISE, on Mute Records, we talk to DJ & producer HAAi about how a young hairdresser from a small town Down Under landed in London, broke up with her psych rock band, fell in love with house and techno and ended up on the world's biggest stages. Topics include wild rave locations, drug trips, fat pants, dinosaur energies and doof sticks; how she selects records and the elements that play into her otherworldly musical style. Teneil also sheds some light on what it's like to go B2B with The Blessed Madonna, shares advice, talks about the importance of safe space and queer space and shares tales from the making of her latest album with collaborators like Jon Hopkins and the Trans Voices choir.
