Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Line Noise 268 - Dimitri From Paris
Q: You presented the first house music radio show in France, as far as you know. What did that mean for you and the scene?
It was a pivotal moment that exposed me to new York mixes, long-form, in-key blends, and the potential of radio to democratize access to new music, paving the way for my later international collaborations and a broader audience.
Line Noise 268 - Dimitri From Paris
Q: I started like, you know, you started DJing really young, right?
Yes, I began in the early 80s, exploring hip-hop and the emerging dance scene, but I realized quickly that being a remixer and producer behind the scenes is where my strengths lay, which shaped my later career.
Line Noise 266 - Victor Calderone
Q: What was the turning point that brought you back to producing after Program 2/Lab results shelved?
The realization from a conversation with a friend to return to his roots, selling his stake in a business venture, and stepping back into the studio where he created Give It Up, which then led to breakthrough recognition and doors opening with Madonna.
Line Noise 264 - Yu Su
Q: I read that Foundry was inspired by a move to London—was that a central factor?
Yes, moving to London was a catalyst that reshaped her understanding of the dance music scene. The context shifted her relationship to the genre beyond mere obsession, influenced by attending parties and seeing different DJs.
Line Noise 265 - Lucrecia Dalt
Q: What about the space you're playing in, like the Auditorium, and your memories of past performances there?
The space is special and powerful; returning to it with new material feels like a meaningful culmination of a long, memory-rich relationship with that venue.
