Don't Be Afraid

09/03/2022

The latest podcast in our series comes from UK based DJ, producer and visual artist Ben Galyas. He has worked with UK experimentalist Scanner, US deep house legend and q***r philosopher Terre Thaemlitz (aka DJ Sprinkles), and enigmatic Swedish ambient producer Civilistjavel! via his label Premature, and has also hosted shows on Kindred and NTS. He currently holds an ongoing quarterly residency at Dalston’s Brilliant Corners. Over the course of 90 minutes Galyas takes the listener through a variety of styles, connecting the dots between Linda Perhacs, Yung Lean, Tortoise and Omar S along the way.

For our latest podcast we tapped up Odd Lust aka South London-based DJ and producer and longtime friend of the label Alex Wallwork. Following a remix of Lia Mice for Optimo, Wallwork made his solo debut as Odd Lust last year on The Trilogy Tapes with the ‘Wild Qualia’ EP.

As a DJ his sets tend towards the psychedelic acid-electro sound of his productions and you can also catch him on Soho Radio where he hosts his show ‘The Spaces Between’.
