Line Noise 212 - Deep Dish
On this week’s Line Noise I spoke to returning house heroes Deep Dish, aka Ali “Dubfire” Shirazinia and Sharam Tayebi, about industrial house, their unique sound, loving drum & bass, Iran, DC, remixes and why getting back together in 2025 feels so right. Their new single Deep Dish x EYNKA feat. Wrabel - Midnight is out now, with more new music to come. Line Noise comes to you with the support of Cupra.

Line Noise 211 - Mark Pritchard
This week on Line Noise my guest is the humble titan that is Mark Pritchard, an English producer who has made everything from jungle to ambient, grime to techno. He has also teamed up with Thom Yorke for a new album, Tall Tales, that will be released on May 9. We talked about the added expectation of creating an album with one of the world’s biggest rock stars and the fascinating creative back and forth of recording Tall Tales; we talked about the bassoon and the cor anglais, Leslie speakers, rock drums and so much more. Line Noise comes to you with the support of Cupra. I hope you enjoy it.

Line Noise 210 - JB Dunckel
It's another vintage Line Noise episode this week, as I revisit an interview I did with Jean-Benoît Dunckel for Radio Primavera Sound in 2022, around the release of his solo album Carbon. (An excellent record, by the way.) Dunckel is perhaps best known as half of the iconic duo Air - one of my favourite bands ever - but he is also a solo artist and renowned soundtrack composer. We talked about ambiguity, space, Sex UFOs and, of course, Air. Line Noise comes to you with the support of Cupra. Photo by Bojana Tartaska.

Line Noise 209 - Tangerine Dream
This week on Line Noise I spoke to Thorsten Quaeschning, the musical director (and longest-standing member) of foundational German band Tangerine Dream, a group whose influence looms over ambient and electronic music. We spoke about black metal, where to start with Tangerine Dream, founder member Edgar Froese’s plans for the band after his death in 2015 and how the current band (in which Quaeschning is joined by Hoshiko Yamane and Paul Frick) are carrying these out. Line Noise is brought to you by Cupra.
The photo is from the band's recent Barcelona concert.
