D:U:LIVE is coming in June! My first live set since 2013.... London / Bristol / Manchester - all tickets: scubaoficial.io/live

Radio is not something we've covered massively on the podcast to date but this week's guest is often (and somewhat lazily) referred to as the Irish John Peel, so this is a step towards rectifying that.

Cian Ó Cíobháin has been curating his 5-nights-a-week show An Taobh Tuathail on the Irish state broadcaster RTE RnaG for 25 years. That longevity is an achievement in itself, but doing a great music show for that long is a very rare thing indeed.

Originally from Gaeltacht in Co Kerry, he's been based in Galway since 1993, and has been a big part of the music scene ever since as a DJ and club promoter, bringing acts like Erol Alkan, Andrew Weatherall, and Justice to the city.

Cian is a real legend of underground music in Ireland and it's great to have him on the show!

D:U:LIVE is coming in June! My first live set since 2013.... London / Bristol / Manchester - all tickets: scubaoficial.io/live

How could we possibly follow last week's episode with the techno legend Luke Slater? Well, with another legend of techno of course!

Laurent Garnier is, in fact, and all-time great of dance music PERIOD. He was playing the Hacienda before acid house really got going. He can plausibly claim a large amount of the credit for the sound gaining popularity in France. And he continues to be one of the best DJs on the planet.

So it's a slightly daunting prospect to welcome him to a humble podcast such as ours, but welcome him we absolutely do.

Discussion topics include: what are the challenge facing the current scene, and the grounds for optimism. We talk about Paris as a dance music city, and the role of venues such as the Rex Club and Concrete. And we talk about his relationship with music, as a DJ and also as a producer.

This is a great conversation with a man who many claim to be the GOAT. You're gonna enjoy it...

If you were discussing, as people sometimes do, the possible identity of ' the best techno producer of all time' then Luke Slater would surely be mentioned in that conversation. At least if I was involved in the debate it certainly would be.

Is anything else necessary to say here?

Well, he has a new album coming under his LB Dub Corp alias, which is usually closer to deep house and this time features vocals from Kittin, Robert Owens, and Paul St Hilaire amongst others.

And we talk about techno, acid house, and the state of the current scene. What more could you want from an episode of the Not A Diving Podcast?
