How does a record collection reach an accumulation of 70,000 pieces of vinyl? I guess it must through a single-minded commitment to searching and buying over a long period of time?

On the show today I lay out my plans for a hypothetical stint as editor of one of the big dance music media platforms.

Clive Martin in Vice. If you're into what we're doi…

I recorded a solo holiday special episode for this week... but we have decided that it's far too depressing to come out this week, so instead we are returning to one of our favourite ever episodes.

Back with a guest! After last week's solo pod we welcome an extremely important figure in dance music broadcasting, BBC Radio 1's Sarah Story.

I am back from holiday, and of course during my break events occurred. Back in 2016, Trump's win was a nasty shock. But ultimately as it panned out, the worst of it was confined to a generally queasy sense of chaos, the Trump family's probably-illegal self-enrichment, and the trashing of the public finances in the pursuit of all time highs on the S…

What are we all doing here anyway? That's a question I've asked myself recently, not in purely existential terms so much as continuing to pursue some sort of platonic ideal of dance music.

If the medium is the message then surely anyone closely involved with Ableton over the past couple of decades can justifiably claim to have changed the world of music in that time.
