What happens when your DJ set bears very little resemblance to your much-loved output as a producer? And what happens when your production output doesn't seem to entirely tally with your rapturously-received turns as a DJ?

This week's guest has both of those problems, which should probably be categorised as first-world in nature. Equally loved for his high impact DJ sets and hauntingly beautiful studio output, DjRUM has over a long period established discrete reputations in both fields while successfully avoiding the beartraps offered by success in either one.

In this conversation we mostly focus on the DJ side, digging into the philosophy of big tempo jumps, turntablism, musical influences, and technology. But of course production can't escape entirely, and we cover Ai, new developments, and whether having loads of terrible music in the world can really be a positive thing.

Strap in, this is a good one!
