Music Not Diving with Scuba

Dustin Zahn on the phone: The return of counterculture, early US raving, and is Hard Techno real?

Dustin Zahn is the host ofTrain Wrecks, a podcast that has been running since 2016. Even taking into account a few breaks along the way, that makes it by our calculations the longest running piece of alternative media in the electronic music space.

Dustin has a wealth of ... experience in techno, having released extensively as well as running his Enemy Records label. But his interest in music goes beyond that, and we discuss a wide range of issues concerning the scene today and the historic context of rave in the US.

We also discuss whether counterculture is back in fashion, the political nature of rave, the cyclical nature of the music, and the current golden age of standup comedy.

This is a good one!
