   KASKADE: All Around the World, but HOME is L.A.

   I sit down with worldwide phenomenon Kaskade, discussing how a kid from Chicago ended up in L.A. as the post popular DJ/producer/songwriter in the world. It was that origin in Southern California that was a life changing move and inspiration for his signature sonic sound. He also opens up about how his career put him in a position to be a PIONEER of the Las Vegas pool party scene, the first DJ ever at a Super Bowl, and having the largest single-day concert by an electronic artist. This is a true peak behind the curtain of one of the most popular acts this century.

Decades later, their granddaughters — Lisa Koolhoven and Kristen Hayford — met in the Netherlands by chance. As they got to know each other, they discovered a surprising shared thread: both of their families had been shaped by the same war, in very different ways.

   TN:140 Four Tet

   John is joined by Kieran Hebden, better known as Four Tet, to talk about how he wrote, recorded and produced the album ‘Three’, along with a selection of his other work. Following his start in music writing and recording as part of post-rock band ‘Fridge’, Kieran released his debut solo album as Four Tet ‘Dialogue’ in 1999. Since then, his constant experimentation and blend of hip-hop, jazz, krautrock, electronica, dance, and folk have seen him become one of the most innovative producers of today. He has released twelve albums as Four Tet, remixed artists like Radiohead and Bjork, and collaborated with Burial, Fred Again and Skrillex, among many others. Sitting down together, Kieran breaks down his production journey and writing process, sharing the samples at the core of each track and reflecting on his approach to the most important element, the arrangement. Digging into the production details, he shares tips on keeping loops alive, making kicks pop, and the subtle textures that help place a track in its own world.

    Shotless, Starless, and Still Winless: Galaxy's Historic Nightmare Continues

    - SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: http://cornerofthegalaxy.com/subscribe/ - COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/drr9HFZY2P - COG ANTHEM MUSIC BY RAY PLAZA: https://linktr.ee/munditoplaza - COG ANTHEM MUSIC DOWNLOAD: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3asiasldwKyoCRm1Vzx2h7?si=_LmXI9otT9y9j0ChMGMt2w COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy have dug themselves a hole in which they can't see light. After a 1-0 loss to Sporting KC on Sunday -- a game in which the Galaxy didn't allow a single shot from their opponents -- the club is searching for answers. And some of those answers may come from a contract negotiation that isn't going well. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's 11-game winless streak, what the Galaxy can expect from the next three games, and why some decisions are going to have to be made by the club despite possibly losing all three DP's for the next couple of matches. The winless streak is historic. The game on Sunday was historic for similar reasons. But can we look at this team and call them bad? Yes. Because the standings say so. Join the guys for a frank discussion about the next steps for the Galaxy and whether Greg Vanney could have his future decided with a contract that runs out of time! Let's talk! -- Corner of the Galaxy is kicking off Season 17, just a few shows past show no. 1,100! And we can't wait to show you everything we've got in store for 2025! This is just a reminder that we go live twice a week — Monday and Thursday at 8 PM on YouTube—and that you can find us conveniently anywhere you get your podcasts (Apple, Spotify, Soundcloud, YouTube, GooglePlay, etc.). We're making it easy for you to stay connected!
