To kick off this podcast series, I talk to Brighton-based (UK) artist Faide, who has had a number of successful releases and remixes on labels such as Stil Vor Talent, Frau Blau and Plano B Records as well as curating his Brighton night AVOY (All Versions of You) which have seen distinguished DJs and producers such as Joone and Kadosh headline.

Amongst other things, we chat about his approach to music production, his influences, the growing melodic house and techno scene in the UK, social media and his cat Malcom.
