Ben Cardew spoke to the very charming Samantha Poulter, AKA Logic1000, about Confirmation - her new album but also a lot more - about crises of confidence, family, learning and un-learning, the relationship between parenthood and dance music and 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. Line Noise comes to you with the support of Cupra.
On this bumper edition of Line Noise, Ben Cardew speaks to British dance music royalty, in the shape of Dave Angel, a producer who made his recorded debut in 1990 and who released a greatest hits, in the form of Classics, 30 years ago. They talked about all this, as well as being in prison during the Second Summer of Love, remixing the Eurythmics (and Dave Stewart being a very nice person), playing Megadogs in the 90s and signing to Island.
Ben Cardew spoke to Axel Boman about glaciers, exhaustion, hiking and house music, as they look forward to his excellent new album with Superpitcher, Tell It To The Mountain, the first to be released on his new label Blurry. There’s also talk of new music from Talaboman, his collaboration with Barcelona’s own John Talabot, and we wonder how the Swedes might be like the Spanish. (Answer: we’re not quite sure.)
This week on Line Noise, we have a very special head to head featuring Mike Paradinas - aka µ-Ziq - and Frank Naughton - also aka µ-Ziq, in the early days.
