Emily Dust launches new club culture podcast, Dances For Buildings: Listen
"Essential listening for anyone who’s ever DJ'd, been to a club or is curious to discover the world through dancing in the dark with a load of strangers"
Emily Dust has launched a new podcast about club culture called Dances For Buildings.
Produced by Erica McKoy (Worldwide FM), with theme music composed by Giulia Tess (Rinse FM, Scarlet Tiger, Future Bounce), Dances For Buildings offers an "inclusive insider’s view of club culture" and is described as "essential listening for anyone who’s ever DJ'd, been to a club or is curious discover the world through dancing in the dark with a load of strangers."
The Baile LDN co-founder and Soho Radio resident, known for championing global club sounds as a DJ, radio producer and curator, has lined up an array of guests for the series, with BADSISTA, Bianca Oblivion, Kampire, Jamz Supernova, and DJ Paulette all set to feature in upcoming episodes.
The Dances for Buildings podcast, which launches today (1st February) will cover a range of styles and genres, from UK funky and rave to grime, baile funk and many more. UK funky icon Roska is featured on the show's first episode, which is available to listen to now.
Speaking about the podcast, Dust said: "I started the podcast because I love chatting to people about music and their careers and have learned so much from talking to DJ friends, but usually I'm having those conversations at 2am by a speaker stack... so I wanted to put some of these chats down properly on record. Also so many dance music podcasts focus on big room, big names – I wanted to reflect the scenes I love, which are full of amazing talent, and also to include more women and global voices and a wider range of genres in those conversations."
She continued: "Also I think it's really important we celebrate and document the clubs that exist today, not just the ones that were great back in the day. Nightlife is struggling all over the world and I want people to be inspired to go out and be part of their local scene tonight because most DJs will tell you the most fun sets and the best music starts off in tiny sweaty clubs, and we need to show club culture some love."
