  • Elkka - centring lesbians in art & making it in your thirties
    Oct 9 2024

    Elkka has had a crazy year so far. This episode, we dig into her beautiful debut album, Prism of Pleasure and find out how she collaborated with a sex therapist and her fans within the queer community. We celebrate the lesbian renaissance, including London's La Camionera, the reclamation of the label 'lesbian' and the importance of creating safe spaces for LGBTQ+ people to enjoy music. Plus, we discuss staying healthy on tour, the importance of protecting your hearing as a DJ or raver and we talk about how to stay positive when you don't feel like you've 'made it' yet.

  • BIIANCO - the realities of going viral & navigating a disability in the music industry
    Oct 2 2024


    BIIANCO is one of the most talented musicians we know. This week they join us for an hour of fascinating conversation, sharing their journey from composing classical music to thumping dance music (via the Dalston Superstore basement). After amassing over 200,000 Instagram followers and millions of views, they share what it's been like going viral on social media and why there's a big distinction between going viral for your music rather than clickbait-y videos. They also tell us about their recent collaboration with Marlon Hoffstadt, their love of hard groove and how they've been influenced by the UK scene. Plus, BIIANCO shares what it's been like navigating the music industry since going blind in one eye.
