Erlend Øye's Fireside Chat

"One thing I really like in life is to make people dance.

NICE! Underworld did a Fireside Chat for RBMA Radio. Karl Hyde talks about their early career, mistakes they made and how they became the band we know today.  Really interesting to hear about early rave culture, the influence of travel and New York on their music, the progression of their career, all with a load of their tunes thrown in!

Feeling a little seedy post Paddy's day weekend? Let the soothing tones of Q-Tip's voice flow over you and cure what ails you.

He talks about his youth and early career and plays some of the tracks that influenced him, and about when he met Dilla for the first time, his solo stuff, how he got really into jazz and lost 20,000 records in a fire. SO interesting. Great radio. And lots of Tribe. What a ledge.

There is also a one hour BBC documentary about Nile called "The Hit Maker" I posted about a good while ago, check it out here. And if that's not enough for you, I'd also recommend reading his autobiography 'Le Freak' - although he is so sound he never really dishes as much dirt as I'd like him too, considering what he must have seen and gotten up to himself.

Nile plays with Chic on the Sunday of Forbidden Fruit - get tickets here.

I've posted other similarly sweet Red Bull radio shows where artists talk about their influences and careers, check out shows by Chromeo, Mayer Hawthorne, Holy Ghost!, Kim Ann Foxman, Breakbot or The Rapture.
