Surgeon was part of what Dave Clarke has called the 'second wave of British techno', emerging from the mid 90s Birmingham scene as a resident at House Of God and affiliate of Regis' Downwards label. In the years since he has cemented a reputation as one of the foremost exponents of genuinely forward-thinking techno, and explored other styles with his work as Anthony Child and with Daniel Bean as The Transcendence Orchestra. We cover topics including the forces of conservatism in techno, the challenges of forging a link between human and machine, and running the risk of destroying your career by playing a support slot for Lady Gaga.

Mano Le Tough emerged as a DJ and producer of note in late 00s Berlin, in the wake of the minimal sound that had defined that decade and of which he was not a particular fan. Originally from a small town outside Dublin, he made his bones as a DJ in the Irish capital before decamping to Germany after Tensnake picked up his first effort on Ableton via Myspace. We talk about all of that, plus his voyages around the worldwide club scene, the decline of Ibiza, whether the album format makes sense for club music, the RA top DJs poll, and much else besides. A deep dive into the mind of one of the European underground's favourite DJs.
