Not A Diving Podcast with Scuba

*****ANNOUNCEMENT*****

On with the show...

Rune Reilly Kölsch is one of the biggest names on the melodic techno circuit, a long time member of the Kompakt Records roster and collaborator with names including previous NDP guest Tiga and Jane's Addiction frontman and part-time boxer Perry Farrell.

He's also a very thoughtful guy with a huge amount of experience, having released his first record back in 1995, so a perfect guest for the show.

We cover the small clubs vs festivals debate, the recent question of should big acts lower their fees to play small venues, the history of the scene in his home town of Copenhagen, and his process of making music.

We also get into the impact and legacy of the EDM boom of the early 2010s, and the extent of his direct involvement in it.

This is a really good one with some great insights, you're gonna love it.
