Good Listeners Ep 10 - Interview w/ LUZCID + The Gang Recaps Both Skrillex Albums

Season 1 · Episode 10

Monday, February 27, 2023 • Duration 01:18:14

In episode 010 of the Good Listeners podcast, the gang is thrilled to welcome Wakaan artist LUZCID to the show [0:4:50]. For the last decade, LUZCID has provided fans with music that can be described as a sonic odyssey. Though firmly grounded in the bass music world, LUZCID meticulously eludes genres to push his boundaries and welcome a wide variety of enthusiasts to his ever-growing community.

The Good Listeners team was fortunate to catch him right before he embarked on his most extensive national tour, the Illusions Tour. In the interview, we dive deep into what went into this tour, which included working with visual artist/VJ Data Byte on the Audio/Visual component. A big part of this tour also revolved around the contest that LUZCID ran, in which he hand-picked direct support slots for each tour stop around the country, many of which have been covered on Heard It Here First! It was so cool to hear his passion for spotlighting lesser-known artists and giving them the opportunity to show off their craft.

Knowing how diverse his release catalog is, the team also picked his brain on how he approaches different styles of music. Whether it be the more brutal freeform/dubstep anthems that we know and love or the more healing, heart-warming downtempo tracks, LUZCID's approach to these styles constantly change. This leads into some of LUZCID's favorite war stories from touring and a conversation around smaller-scale festivals. A massive shoutout to Dan and Noah for crushing this interview - we learned so much on this episode!

To close out episode 010, the gang recaps Skrillex's wild releases [1:01:21]. He played pop-up shows with Four Tet and Fred Again.. all over NYC, including smack dab in the middle of Times Square and a massive 5-hour b2b at Madison Square Garden. While all of this was happening, he dropped not one but TWO(2) albums in 24-48 hours. The gang recaps some of their favorite songs from "Quest For Fire" and "Don't Get Too Close".

Thank you all so much for listening over the last several months. We would not have made it to 10 episodes without your support. We've had some fantastic conversations and cannot wait to share what we have in store for the rest of the year. If you're not following us yet, check us out on Twitter and Instagram.

You will learn a lot about her vision for this new project, including her plans to eventually incorporate a live band into her tour and festival performances, on top of live vocals that fans have admired since her dubstep days.

The gang is also thrilled to get back together at the start of the new year to recap some of the [0:02:07] incredible music and [01:15:06] festival lineups released in the first month of 2023. Hear from Jimmy, Dan, and Meg as they dive deep into some of the hottest releases like Jade Cicada's Pressure Gamet album, every Skrillex single dropped so far, and Liquid Stranger's Synergy compilation album that dropped on his downtempo SSKWAN label, and several others.
