Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying math that powers modern machine learning to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives, even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Big DJ gigs with an intense lightshow and a strong focus on visuals have been there for a while – but it seems like they are having a new peak. With DJs like Anyma selling out the Sphere in Las Vegas, it sparks the question: Has it become more important how a show looks than how it sounds? In this episode, we are joined by cultural commentator and journalist Cameron Cook to talk about how visuals changed in the past years, what the trend is right now and how the future could look like.

Interior and set design have always been a part of dance music, with different parties and clubs creating spaces that amplify and enhance the sonic and social experience. But for every person turned on to techno by TikTok and craving Instagrammable visual moments, there's another who wants a raw warehouse and no-frills dancefloor. In this episode, we invited Arnold from KWIA – one of Berlin's coziest, most intentional spaces – to talk about the legacy of design in nightlife, and how different types of spaces can shape sounds and scenes.

How are we documenting dance music in 2024? (with Chloe Lula) 34:40

16 weeks前34:40

34:40

So much of nightlife and electronic music is ephemeral, enjoyed in the moment. But those nights and moments and sounds are simultaneously something we want to preserve – whether through is an exciting new online mix, blurry phone photos from our last night out, a heavy coffee table book, or even a museum. This week, Otto Kent and Juba are joined by Berlin-based DJ, producer and music journalist Chloe Lula . They talk about how electronic music is documented in 2024, what they want to see more of in the future, and why who gets to tell these stories is so important. Our newsletter is back!

We live in a time of division and polarization. But when it comes to dance music and club culture, we like to think of them as a unified global community. How true is that, really? In this episode, Otto Kent and Juba are joined by Cormac , the DJ, Polari Records owner and host of the Queerly Beloved podcast. They dig into what exactly people mean when they talk about "community", and the shared values they perceive in dance music and club culture worldwide.

What's club and dancefloor etiquette in 2024? (with Cassidy George) 35:28

We love to go out to clubs and have a good time with friends and strangers alike. But anytime you're on a crowded dancefloor, not everyone’s going to be on the same page when it comes to appropriate behavior. The way we all act and interact can make or break a night, but these expectations can also be hard to pin down, and vary widely depending on the city, scene, and personal preferences. In this episode, 032c editor Cassidy George joins Juba and Kikelomo to talk about the best dancefloor etiquette, their unwritten rules of clubbing, and the different trends affecting how people party in 2024.

How do we feel about posthumous albums? (with Christa Belle) 36:20

19 weeks前36:20

36:20

In September, the visionary electronic producer SOPHIE released what was promoted as her final album , three years after her tragic passing. And people had a lot of opinions on it – as they usually do with music that comes out after an artist's death, whether it's Tupac, Avicii, Lil Peep, DJ Rashad, Prince, or many, many others. There are moral and musical questions to consider. So this week, Kikelomo and Juba are joined by artist, curator and cultural commentator Christa Belle to talk through the complicated emotions posthumous releases inspire.

Clubs are closing all around the world, but it still seems like there are more DJs than ever before. Why do so many people want to be DJs – whether bedroom amateurs or touring professionals? And how does all the attention and effort affect the scene?

What's going on with the drum & bass and jungle revival? (with DJ NORTHERN) 31:17

31:17

It’s not just Fred again fans trying to identify an unfamiliar genre. Drum & bass, jungle, and breaks are back in a big way – both in the underground and on the UK charts. Chase & Status have earned #1 records, artists like Kenya Grace are going viral, and there's a vanguard of producers like Tim Reaper and Nia Archives waving the flag for the genres while continuing to push them forward. But did drum & bass and jungle ever really go away? And what's led to the current pop embrace? Our hosts OttO Kent and Juba asked DJ NORTHERN, the co-founder of Berlin's drum & bass party FACILITATE alongside DJ Flounce , as well as a co-founder of Garage Girls , to share their perspective on this resurgence - what's exciting, what's frustrating, and where things might go from here.

What can we do about club closures? (with Surf 2 Glory) 31:21

23 weeks前31:21

31:21

Clubs in Berlin are closing at a rapid rate – including the legendary Watergate. And it’s not just Germany. In the UK, a study found that if nightlife continues struggling at the same rate, there will be no clubs by 2030. Some of these issues are perennial, but the reality is that “Clubsterben” is accelerating – even though there seems to be more money in nightlife than ever. So what impact do these closures have on artists and audiences? Are clubs still actually centers of musical and social communities? And what role does the internet play in all of this? We invited the Berlin-based DJ duo Surf 2 Glory of Club Heart Broken and Venus Vessels to talk about their experiences navigating this shifting landscape.

Is Brat Summer really over? (with Kikelomo & Juba) 28:13

We're back for our first episode after the summer break. Or shall we say... Brat Summer break? With her sixth studio album, BRAT, released this last June, Charli XCX sparked what was arguably the biggest pop culture trend of the social media age so far. From underground producers serving up remixes to brands (and presidential candidates) jumping on the meme bandwagon, the British pop star with rave culture roots was just about everywhere all summer. In early September, Charli herself ended Brat Summer with a post on X. But is it really over? What will remain of it? How does the hype compare to other pop culture phenomena in recent times? And what's next in this hyper-paced era of mega trends and micro genres? Electronic Beats host Kikelomo and Juba sit down to serve up their very own takes on everyone's subject matter of the summer.

Do you still feel like wearing a piece of merch makes you a part of a specific subculture? Or has that sense of exclusivity and meaning been lost? This week, our host Otto Kent speaks to writer Claire Mouchmore about our shifting relationship with merch, and how that's changed along with the internet and the explosion of niche identities. Plus, we discuss new features on YouTube music, UK laws against spiking, and the nonrefundable fees paid by African and Asian artists when they apply for UK and EU visas.
