At the Primavera Sound festival this year Johann Wald and I were lucky enough to put together two titans of modern pop music, AG Cook and Sega Bodega, for an epic Line Noise conversation into the state of music, from hyperpop to Britpop, Caroline Polachek to Charli XCX. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said this was one of my favourite Line Noises ever. So enjoy.

Today on Line Noise we welcome one of my favourite musicians of all time: Laetitia Sadier, of Stereolab, Monade, the Laetitia Sadier Source Ensemble and also a fantastic solo artist. I caught up with her in May when she played in Barcelona with the Source Ensemble. In the interview we talked about France, politics, not being a Marxist, religion, the age of Aquarius, water shortage and so much more, including her brilliant recent album Rooting For Love, which is out now on Drag City. Go and buy it; go and listen to it; and go and check out one of her gigs. Line Noise is with the support of Cupra.

To mark the 20th anniversary of famed British label Hyperdub, Line Noise organised a round-table interview with four of the label's key artists - founder Kode9, Ikonika, DJ Haram and Heavee - at Primavera Sound 2024. The results were fascinating, swinging from the obsession of running a record label to every artist's favourite Hyperdub songs. Picture by Cecila Diaz Betz.

A couple of weeks ago I packed up my microphone and recorder and made the short hop to Hospitalet, where I interviewed the fabulous ML Buch, a Copenhagen-based composer, producer, guitarist and vocalist, ahead of her gig at the Pumarejo. We talked about creeping out in the country, the car as creative space, 90s guitars, Dire Straits and more. I hope you enjoy it. (PS apologies for the sound checking noise in the background.)

Speed Dealer Moms are John Frusciante, probably best known as the guitar player from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Aaron Funk, aka Venetian Snares, a producer who defies your 4/4 time signatures in the name of brilliantly experimental electronic sounds. In what was their first ever joint interview, I spoke to John and Aaron about listening to music differently, 16-hour jams, friendship in music, actual speed dealer moms, jungle, Bangface and so much more. I think this interview is really a bit special so I do hope you enjoy it. PS The excellent new Speed Dealer Moms single, Birth Control Pill, is out Friday May 10.
