The Interview Show with Daedelus (radio edit) #254

As a kid, the avant-garde dandy Alfred Darlington always wanted to be an inventor, so, when he grew up and became an experimental electronic music producer, he chose his version of the name of the mythical Greek inventor known for inventing the labyrinth--and Icarus' wings, but that's another story. I sat down with Daedelus the last time he came through Vancouver with one of his Magical Properties tours and it turns out Magical Properties is the high concept including a tour and his record label. Alfred is so articulate, pleasant and humble--this conversation was a pure delight. What's been Daedelus' latest LA estate sale find? Why does Daedelus enjoy crate-diving and what was the last treasure he unearthed? Will crate-diving become obsolete in the age of YouTube? What is collaboration like for Daedelus, a producer who works with a different feature artist almost every track? What is the "usual EDM conversation" and how does Daedelus add something new ? How does Daedelus challenge his crowds as a DJ while keeping bodies moving on the dance floor? What is "the death of electronic nights?" You'll have to listen to find out.
