Line Noise Podcast

Ben Cardew spoke to Zora Jones about the sting from 400 bees, going off grid, singing in Spanish, playing live live and more, as she looks ahead to the release of her wonderful new album 50 Bullets To The Heart. Line Noise comes to you with the support of Cupra.

Inès Boullant - better known as French dance destroyer u.r.trax - came to the RPS studio at Primavera Sound ahead of her first live festival gig to talk sneaking into clubs at 14, annoying her Parisian neighbours, blowing up during Covid and “anti club music”.

Ben Cardew spoke to estimable DJ / producer Call Super about a folder called “Ladbroke Grove”, the enduring power of the mix CD, moving house, playing CircoLoco AND Victorian literature, in a particularly wide-ranging interview live at Primavera Sound 2026.

This week, we welcome Étienne de Crécy, a house hero for any sensible musical brain, back to Line Noise. Last time out, in 2023, we spoke about the origins of Étienne - Motorbass, Super Discount and all - so in this interview I wanted to catch up with what he had been doing since then. That included the Flashback tour, playing vinyl, songs that do and don’t work with modern audiences, his excellent Warm Up album, working with Damon Albarn, football and playing live versus DJing. We also look ahead to the 30th anniversary of his classic Super Discount. Line Noise comes to you with the support of Cupra. Photo by Emile Moutaud.
