Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP #201 - sace6 (Sace & Noah Thomas)
Q: How did you end up signing with Sumerian Records and what was that process like?
Sal reached out through their manager after a friend plugged the band in, and conversations with the label team felt genuinely aligned and supportive, making the partnership feel like a collaboration rather than a typical label deal.
EP #199 - Gemma Edwards (DJ)
Q: How do you approach set planning versus improvisation?
Gemma emphasizes improvisation, often making up sets on the fly, while sometimes keeping a tidy 'desperate picks' folder for quick access; planning can be stressful when the room's mood changes.
EP #199 - Gemma Edwards (DJ)
Q: What changed when you moved to streaming during the pandemic?
She describes the transition as insane at first, not understanding Twitch, and later discovering that streaming offered a different kind of connection with audiences, especially through live chat, even though it required a steep technical learning curve.
EP #199 - Gemma Edwards (DJ)
Q: How did you first get into DJing and what was the catalyst for starting?
Gemma explains that DJing was not her initial plan; she got drawn into it through a local club night and friends who encouraged it, eventually taking on residencies and expanding to other venues as opportunities arose.
EP #196 - VCTMS (Meredith Henderson & Mike Clampitt)
Q: Why incorporate so many features on Pain Processing II, and how do you decide who writes which parts?
The band aims to showcase friends and collaborators who fit musically; guests often write their own parts, while the core members provide the structure and delivery, which makes the collaborations feel organic and varied.
