"My old friend Egon Frinz approached me in the midst of all the misery in 2020 and offered me a slot on a show he was curating on the Forte Prenestino online radio station RadioForte.

The brief: "It's 2030. You just had surgery where you got a new indestructible liver... Chance to party with your closest mates, isn't it? But what will you play? Please not that boring 2020 revival."

(For the original broadcast I got my then thespian neighbour to do a recording for the intro of the following text)

"In 2030 I will be 60 years old, so the chances of finding me still hanging around on dance floors (if they even exist as before?), or at festival stages (or wanting to for that matter!) are very, very slim indeed.

What will the music be like then?…probably, very much like 2020 I’m sure. A decade goes by in the blink of an eye and this species is terrible at embracing change, unless it’s forced on us.

You can play this hypothetical, parallel, time game yourself - the year is 2010 (you all remember that year right?)…you and a few friends ask yourselves over a few drinks “What will the music of 2020 be like???”….

We should, after all, be able to answer this question, but in hindsight what did happen in the last decade…really? More tweaked micro-genres? (and no, sorry, clattering noise, fast edits and agitation is not experimentation…) The ‘Modular’ fetish perhaps? Red Bull academies? Ableton workshops? Gigabytes of ready to use sample packs? ‘Business’ Techno? Spotify? An eternal blandification if you ask me. “A pernicious adequacy”. Neo-Capitalism plus electronics gave us this new habitat….our choking FOREST OF MEDIA.

So here I am in 20-30. Old age encroaching. The self is STILL restless and unsatisfied, but I can leave the careering and weeping and wailing and moaning to the Youth now, with no regrets. I don’t want any of that back.

All I want now is a vein of timeless TRUTH and honesty in the music I listen to - from any era, it matters not - and occasionally, hopefully, to stumble on truths as yet unspoken? Not ‘fashioned’ truth, because there’s plenty of that shit around…..but unflinching, emblematic landscapes of the human condition.

Because we’re all going to the same place in the end."
