LWE Podcast 65: Jitterbug
The somewhat shadowy DJ/producer Jitterbug lets his music do all the talking and even then hasn’t said very much. Yet the message that comes across in his two EPs for Uzuri has been quite moving. For this reason we’ve tracked down Jitterbug for an interview about his deliberate pace, the gear facilitating his granular sound, and his relationship with Uzuri.

LWE Podcast 62: DJ Qu
The dark-house don DJ Qu and I were ostensibly meeting up for an interview, but I got the distinct sense he’d be down for a lengthy chat about vinyl, house dancing, and putting his long-in-the-works album together regardless of whether the tape was rolling. Qu was also kind enough to provide us with an exclusive mix of, in his words, “Thump and vibe, in a Warrior style mentality.”

This week’s download, taken from Apparat’s forthcoming DJ-Kicks CD, revs up the producer’s dreamy sound.
LWE Podcast 61: Sepalcure
LWE sat down with Sepalcure to find out how they shifted from a casual side-project to Hotflush-approved, extremely-hotly-tipped “lovestep” juggernaut.
