This podcast has its two phases, one in the mid 2010s and then 2022 onwards.
Both phases are equally entertaining, but you can hear grown up Zahn (or pretending to be) way more in phase 2.
A variety of special guests who drop their own knowledge and advice; and then there’s Zahn, who might be the Jon Stewart of Techno interview podcasts or at least the Jon Stewart of techno rants.
My favorite podcast.
Pls, may we have some more 🙈
Always entertaining. Great guests and great host!
must listen for purveyors of classic techno, amazing insight from the culture from the 90's to present day - covering everything from studio set ups and plugs to labels, parties and tracks that have been lost over time. and way more. Subscribed as soon as i listened to one ep! Keep up the sick work.
Really appreciate the mix of perspectives, the living techno history. Every listen ends with a deep discogs dig.
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for—deep dives with some of the best producers in techno who reveal their stories and the stories that shape the tracks that have defined the genre. Glad I found this, looking forward to listening to the archives and episodes to come. Thanks for putting this out!
