Who loves Boards of Canada? We ALL love Boards of Canada. Or at least, I hope we do. And for all us fans, Disco Pogo will, in November 2026, release A Disco Pogo Tribute To Boards of Canada, a new 276-page book, produced with the blessing of the band (and even some fact checking). Ben Cardew - who wrote a couple of the book’s chapters - spoke to Jim Butler, the book’s editor, about the eternal appeal of Boards of Canada, balancing fact and legend, the power of memory, what exactly is in the book and lots more.

Ben Cardew and Johann Wald select the best electronic music on the Primavera Sound 2027 line up, from Pole to Polygonia. They start off with legends, exploring the legacy of Underworld and the Chemical Brothers; pass by local heroes Arca, John Talabot and DJ Fra; dig into the underground with Pole, Ibrahim Alfa Jnr. and Marta Salogni and her Reel-to-Reel tapes; and end up with those one-off B2B (or B2B2B2B) DJ performances, pondering what it might all mean.
