Welcome back to 2010s Rave Archives The Podcast.

After a little break, we're back with a fresh episode featuring a real legend of the 2010s and beyond - Shadow Child.

With his DNA EP out last week and a longer-form project on its way, it was the perfect to reflect on his journey.

At the height of his success as Dave Spoon, he decided to switch lanes. Unhappy with the direction the electro house scene was taking, he stepped away and found a new home in the burgeoning house resurgence.

With his bass-heavy house productions, catchy melodies and impeccable production - as well as his high energy DJ sets - Shadow Child hit the ground running.

He tells me all about making 'String Thing', signing with Dirtybird, that classic remix of 'Reverse Skydiving' and the ins and outs of his life through the 2010s - including the impact of burnout and anxiety.

A personal insight from an artist who continues to be prolific, channeling his love for rave and electronic music into his output.

Noir was a highly influential and active figure in the early 2010s (and beyond). I'm so grateful the Danish artist honoured me with his presence for this latest episode of the 2010s Rave Archives podcast.

In an exclusive, and rare, audio interview Noir talks me through some of the pivotal moments during that golden period, reflecting on his experiences pre-2010s before getting right into the nitty gritty.

From his now-classic track 'Around' (with Haze) and Solomun's timeless remix, to his label Noir Music, the legendary podcast Noir Recommends and his global touring, Noir was the catalyst behind a lot of great musical moments in the 2010s.

He championed a lot of artists who defined the era; Hot Since 82, Larse, Nice7, Finnebassen... and his hard work, creativity and vision were crucial to the evolution of the music scene back then.

He also speaks candidly about hitting a low point during the pandemic, logging off social media and experiencing panic attacks with all the madness of global touring catching up with him.

A humble, yet successful and very inspiring character, it was a joy to have Noir on the podcast. Hit play and enjoy this one!

Luca C joins me for his very first extended conversation about the 2010s and beyond.

I'm so honoured that Luca agreed to this. We've known each other for a long time now, but even so, recording a podcast and talking about your life, especially the more personal stuff, is a big step if it's not something you've done much of before.

Luca's music career and output is incredible - from his early years in bands, DJing on the side, touring the world with Cazals - even supporting Daft Punk. To his prolific electronic music exploits: with Brigante, as Infinity Ink with Ali Love, and as one quarter of Hot Natured, plus much much more.

He's got lots of stories, lots of history to share and he does it all in such an engaging and articulate way.

Dare I say, one of the best episodes so far.
