#102 Machine Woman: Studio efficiency and Tech House, "I'll still be making music whether RA writes about me or not""

Regarding the brevity of the intro... which actually wasn't that brief because I was able to use some audio I'd already recorded to pad it out. The bout of sciatica that I was suffering from last week has got significantly worse and I'm typing this while lying on the floor, where I have been for the majority of the last three days. So that's not great - it may affect the podcast schedule next week but let's hope not. Apologies in advance if it does. And now, on with the show... -- Would you get “tech house” tattooed on your butt? Me either, and in fairness I don’t think our guest this week actually has, despite the title of one of the tracks on her 2020 EP ‘ Pleasant Stay But I Won’t Come Back ’. Machine Woman has emerged as a really great producer with releases on Ninja Tune’s Technicolour , Delsin , as well as her own label Take Away Jazz Records . And she is also a character with an interesting story. We discuss the challenges of moving to a new country as a teenager, navigating through musical gender stereotypes, the scene in different cities, and much else besides. This was a fun conversation with one of the more irreverent characters of the dance scene, and you’re gonna enjoy it!
