In this episode of Awake All Hours, we begin with a brief recap of Primavera Sound before presenting our preview for the world’s most famous festival, Glastonbury (9:24)! We do our best dissect the stupidly stacked clashfinder, highlighting significant electronic artists and unmissable sets, from the main stages to the darkest recesses of the festival, for those interested or attending next weekend. Highlights include but certainly not limited to a Sports Banger Mega Rave, Cinthie shutting down Genosys, a tantalising B2B between LCY and Blawan, swaying merrily in front of Firmly Rooted Soundsytem all day, Shygirl performing live on a giant head and an all night Booty Bass take over!

We follow with album reviews, featuring the new noise rap head-spinner 'Nothing To Declare' by 700 Bliss (42:32), Parrish Smith’s genre distorting ‘Light, Cruel & Vain’ (57:00) and µ-Ziq’s pillowy IDM dream, ‘Magic Pony Ride’ (1:10:58). We finish, as always, with What’s In My Bandcamp Basket (1:22:58), rounding up our favourite fresh club-ready cuts, featuring Manni Dee, Luca Lozano, DJ Polo & Ramzee, Angel D’lite and more!

In this episode of INSIGHTS, we have the honour of being joined by Jana Rush! Her most recent two records, 2021’s ‘Painful Enlightenment’ and this year’s ‘Dark Humour’, on the legendary label, Planet Mu, have seen her not only push the boundaries of her own sound but of footwork as a whole. It’s safe to say then that we were thrilled to speak to this visionary producer, Chicago O.G. and one of our favourite artists.

Over the course of this interview, Jana discusses her early years and getting into music at a young age via radio, the Chicago scene in the 90’s, meeting and working alongside legends such as Gant-Man, DJ Rashad, DJ Deeon, & Paul Johnson and how the scene compares today. We then discuss her albums, ‘Painful Enlightenment’ & ‘Dark Humour’, going in depth on Jana’s approach to production, sampling and pushing the boundaries of the footwork genre. Jana then shares highlights from her recent EU tour and her approach to performing live, before rounding up some of her favourite artists and inspirations, finishing with a peek into what the future holds for her!
