Not A Diving Podcast with Scuba
Music:Music Interviews
Welcome to Episode 75 of the Not A Diving Podcast. That's quite a lot of episodes, and probably more than I thought we'd get to at the outset but it's been a highly enjoyable ride and we're not slowing down any time soon.
This week on the show we welcome a former resident of one of my favourite clubs, Smartbar in Chicago. Alinka is an Ukraine-born, American expat in Berlin, a great DJ and a producer making some really interesting music.
We discuss her journey in music from the early 2000s, via a hiatus and subsequent rebirth with the Twirl parties and label in collaboration with Shaun J. Wright, formerly of Hercules and Love Affair. We also cover scene attitudes towards politics, the legacy of Chicago, the rave scene, and lot more besides.
This is a good one, you're going to enjoy it!
If you're into what we're doing here on the pod then you can support the show on Patreon! There are two tiers - "Solidarity" for $4 a month, which features regular bonus podcasts and extra content. And "Musicality" which for a mere $10 a month gets you all the music we release on Hotflush and affiliate labels AND other music too, some of which never comes out anywhere else.
Plus there's also a private area for Patreon supporters in the Hotflush Discord Server... but anyone can join the conversation there in the public channels, so please do!
