Curses Discusses Moving to Berlin, Trouble & Bass, and a Crazy Shower A talk with Trouble and Bass founder and former Drop the Lime, Luca Venezia.
Following a great talk with Radio Slave, the curiosity continues on the second episode of the Rave Curious Podcast with host Joshua Glazer. This time around, Joshua sits down in Berlin with New York native Luca Venezia, who is probably best known as the founder of seminal NYC label Trouble & Bass (RIP), as well as for his artist project Drop the Lime, which is currently on hiatus as he explores deeper realms of house and techno under his new DJ and production alias, Curses. Following the saddening discontinuation of T&B, Luca recently made a move towards a permanent residence in Berlin.
Check out the conversation as these two Berlin expats talk about the DJ-producer's recent move to the techno capital, Luca's early days being raised by artists in a pre-gentrification downtown New York, and his early career as an abstract electronic artist before breaking out in Brooklyn with the now-legendary Trouble and Bass parties. You might even hear about that time he found himself playing rockabilly to EDM fans in Las Vegas.
We also learn about a particularly amazing bathroom that Joshua is personally familiar with, as well as Luca's new label, Safer At Night. On the flip side, Joshua tells Luca some tales about coming up in Detroit's legendary 90s techno scene while the two laugh about trap music.
Radio Slave Sits Down For the Debut of Rave Curious Joshua Glazer sits down for an extended and honest conversation with Berlin's finest, Radio Slave.
What are we curious about? Is it electronic music and culture? The magic we feel on the dancefloor? The sweet sound of the bass pulsating through or headphones or the club's thunderous system? And how do we satisfy that curiosity and endless thirst? By talking to some of the DJs, producers, and promoters who drive the electronic music scene year after year, decade after decade, of course! In our new podcast Rave Curious, veteran music journalist Joshua Glazer sits down with key players in the electronic music community for an extended and honest conversation about life in and out of the club, tracing their inspirations, biggest conquests, and greatest setbacks.
In Episode 001 of the new series—Joshua sits down for an intimate conversation with Matt Edwards, the Berlin-based producer behind Radio Slave. Throughout his prolific career, Edwards has released everything from mind-expanding marathon remixes to dynamic tech house under his main moniker, and effervescent, syrupy house workouts under his Rekid alias, which takes it name from the label Edwards founded and runs, Rekids. On top of that, he's a tentpole of the clubbing world, with masterful sets at Panorama Bar, Oval Space, Ibiza, and just about every room you might want to cut loose in.
