Hello and welcome back to Line Noise, with the support of Cupra. We sort a summer break and now we are very much back. And who better to welcome us back than DJ Flight one of THE leading drum & bass DJs for more than two decades, coming via legendary clubs such as Metalheadz and Swerve? We talked about that; about jungle versus drum & bass; about EQ50 and working with Nia Archives; about revivals - or not - about telepathic relationships with MCs and more. DJ Flight plays the Creekside festival on Saturday September 7 and you can get your tickets here.

The last time Sofia Kourtesis visited Line Noise she announced that she was planning her debut album. When she returned, at Primavera Sound 2024, that incredible debut album, Madres, had eaten the world, becoming one of the most loved and critically acclaimed dance music albums of the past few years. We spoke to her about the incredible reaction to Madres, emotion in dance music and taking a neurosurgeon to Berghain. Picture by Cecilia Diaz Betz.

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.

This month our guest on Line Noise is one of the founders of techno music, a house music pop star and ceaseless innovator: Kevin Saunderson, aka E-Dancer, Inner City et al. Ben Cardew spoke to him to mark the release of a new E-Dancer record, Re:Generate, which sees a new generation of techno artists take on his work. Naturally, we ended up talking about Detroit, Wee Papa Girl Rappers and Idris Elba. Plus: would Larry Levan play E-Dancer?

Marie Davidson returns to Line Noise, in this special episode recorded live at the Primavera Weekender, where she played with l’Oeil Nu. Ben Cardew asks her about left turns, Montreal DIY and making music with a sly sense of humour.

Manchester ambassadors Space Afrika (aka Joshua Inyang and Joshua Reid) join Ben Cardew on Line Noise to talk UK energy, Honest Labour and love.

Few albums divide opinion like Human After All, Daft Punk's third long player. Derided on release in 2005, it marked a critical and commercial low for the duo, only to be swiftly rehabilitated when Daft Punk used large segments of HAA on their Alive 2006 / 7 tour. In this special episode of Line Noise Ben Cardew, your regular host and author of Daft Punk's Discovery - The Future Unfurled, speaks to CK303, the DJ behind the brilliant Teachers mixes, about Human After All. Is it a 'bad' album? Was it a necessary one? Is it the anti-Discovery? Or did Daft Punk just mess up? Includes CK303's special Human After All / Marquee Moon mix.

This month on Line Noise, we welcome John Beltran, a producer from Lansing Michigan who has been making quality electronic music for more than 30 years now, both under his own name - notably the classic Ten Days of Blue album - and as Placid Angles, whose excellent album Touch The Earth was released earlier this year. We talk about keeping fresh after three decades in the game, children, Paul McCartney and making music for Oprah.

German techno legend Moritz Von Oswald is our very special guest on Line Noise this month, as we celebrate the release of Dissent, the new album by his Moritz von Oswald Trio. He talks about visiting Stockhausen in his studio, working with Tony Allen and Juan Atkins, his history with dub techno and collaborating with Laurel Halo and Heinrich Köbberling on the new album.

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.

Johann Wald takes the reins of Line Noise for a one-off special looking forward to the release of Daft Punk's Discovery - The Future Unfurled by Line Noise's own Ben Cardew. Ben outlines why Discovery is the most important album of the last 20 years and explains his outlandish theory about Daft Punk's second album being deliberately flawed, while Johann looks back to early 2000s Madrid.

In a bonus from Line Noise's recent Trip City episode, we present the full interview with UK electronic music legend A Guy Called Gerald. Includes a fabulous anecdote about how he re-programmed his entire live set one hour before a gig and basically invented jungle.

Harold Heath's recent book, Long Relationships: My Incredible Journey From Unknown DJ to Small-time DJ, will tug at the heard strings and tickle the funny bone of anyone who has ever set foot on a dance floor. Ben Cardew interviewed the DJ / producer turned writer to talk the ridiculousness of rave, the tech house identity crisis, ghost producers and the spectre of "downloaded for Richie Hawtin".

Ben Cardew meets producer and DJ Paul Woolford aka Special Request to talk number one hits in Ireland, meditation and the importance of taking the piss.

Murcof, aka Fernando Corona, has produced a genuinely dazzling array of music since his recorded debut in 2002, from glitchy techno to a collaboration with French classical pianist Vanessa Wagner. His latest album, The Alias Sessions, is one of his most ambitious to date, born out of a collaboration with choreographer Guilherme Botelho. Ben Cardew talks to him about Jean-Michel Jarre, Tijuana, pre‐1900 classical music and scaring the living hell out of the listener on 2008's Versailles Session.

As his new album, Lazy, is released, Ben Cardew catches up with London producer Mr Mitch to talk fatherhood, feeling lazy and Eiffel 65. Music:Mr Mitch - Did We Say GoodbyeMr Mitch - Eiffel (Peace edit)Mr Mitch - Don't LeaveMr Mitch - Priority (feat. P Money)Mr. Mitch - YouthMr Mitch - Lazy

Ben Cardew meets Romy Madley Croft, guitarist and vocalist with The xx and now a solo artist who has been cheering up our lockdown with the brilliant single Lifetime, to talk life, love and Logic.

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.

Ben Cardew meets "simulation artist" Lawrence Lek to talk world building, AI, sinofuturism and his excellent new album for Hyperdub, AIDOL.

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.
