A new podcast exploring the forefront of global club culture with interviews with some of the world’s most essential DJs has been released. The podcast series called Dances For Buildings, features guests including Kampala’s Kampire, São Paulo’s BADSISTA, LA’s Bianca Oblivion, and UK pioneers such as DJ Paulette, Roska, Gilles Peterson and Jamz Supernova.
Presented by Emily Dust, a DJ and broadcaster, the 10-part series covers the memorable moments of these artists’ careers, from their highs to lows, and their thoughts on the best experiences the dance music world has to offer. The discussions include how these DJs approach their craft while providing valuable insider insight.
Emily Dust said: “A lot of dance music podcasts tend to cover the commercial end of the industry; these aren’t the only stories to tell. In this series, I’m refocusing the conversation to include more global and female voices and wider genres under the umbrella of dance music.” Dust has previously produced and hosted podcasts for the BBC.
The first episode was released on February 1, featuring Roska discussing his memories of the UK funky scene, championing new talent, and learning from setbacks. Episodes will be released weekly and will be available on all major podcast platforms. The theme music of Dances For Buildings is composed by Giulia Tess and produced by Erica McKoy. The artwork is created by Jonathan Briggs.
Dust aims to celebrate, document, and remind us of the importance of scenes all over the world in making club culture so special. She states: “It’s a hard time for nightlife right now. I hope this series also celebrates, documents and reminds us of the importance of scenes all over the world that make club culture so special.” Those who are interested can listen to Dances For Buildings here
