Since first piquing our interest in 2008 with quirky, intricate rhythms and demure melodies, John Roberts’ has only grown more apparent in his confident offerings for Dial and Laid. In our interview, we discussed how his album took shape, the environs that influence his music, and what the future holds for him. He was also kind enough to compile LWE’s 59th exclusive podcast, more than an hour of propulsive vintage and contemporary house.
