In episode 10 of Rave Dad's Diary I spoke to DJs who were pivoting into different careers because of the pandemic. On today's episode I'm exploring the opposite. I'm talking to Joanna Majik, a Calgary based entrepreneur and DJ with a passion for music, marketing and movement. Live music and fitness classes were hit hard by the pandemic, but Joanna figures now is the right time to launch a DJ career. I'll talk to Joanna about what lead to that decision.

But first I'm talking to Andrew Burdall aka Burdy. He's a Calgary-based producer and DJ originally from the UK and he's returning to dance music after a long hiatus.

That’s what Ohama says about his new album titled My Electronic Country Album. If you think the title means you’re getting Ohama’s take on 13 country classics arranged with synth sounds, you’re only half right.

On today’s show I talk to the enigmatic Calgary-based artist about his new project. It’s amazing. It’s unlike anything I’ve heard before. Stick around.

In this episode, I check back in with urbanist, Sheena Jardine-Olade from Nightlab, and we talk about what municipalities can do to start preparing people for success when the aftershocks of the pandemic have settled.

I also chat with Sachin Sudra, from Namaste cooking about bringing an ancient wisdom and branch of wellness called Ayurveda, into the rave.

Today’s musical guest is signed to the label Brainfeeder, where label boss, Flying Lotus, describes their productions as “fkn insane”. Stay tuned to hear my conversation with Little Snake and a special feature he prepared just for Rave Dad’s Diary.

In 2013 I spoke with Tricky just before the release of his album, False Idols. Listening back to this interview, I sound like crap. I remember now I had a terrible head cold. But I couldn’t pass on the opportunity to interview one of my favourite artists.

The first 30 minutes of today's show features 3 guests on their connections to the early days of Shambhala. In November 2020 I reached out to Shambhala Music Festival founder, Jimmy Bundschuh, and we had a quick chat about the first Shambhala Music Festival and the challenges of transforming his parent’s cattle farm into a raver's paradise.

I speak with British producer and DJ Ali B about what it was like to perform at the festival in the early aughts. And we’ll hear about The Librarian’s first trip to Shambhala in 2000 and how it inspired her to get into DJing and producing. Today’s musical feature is a mix from the archives. Stick around to hear The Librarian and Mat the Alien recorded live at Shambhala Music Festival.

Because I’ve been working on the website, I'm taking it easy this episode. Today we're going to listen to some archival material. Up first is my 2013 feature interview with Grammy award winner, Todd Edwards.

Then we’ll listen to a live mix and interview with Hyperdub recording artist, Ikonika, also captured in 2013.

Today’s show finishes off with a 2014 episode of a radio show I used to host called, What Will the Neighbours Think? It features a mix by Sergio SP celebrating 10 years of Hyperdub Records. You might remember Sergio SP aka Mr Geography aka Sandro Petrillo from episode 4 of Rave Dad’s Diary. We nerd out really hard on Hyperdub Records in this episode – don't miss that.

I refer to Calgary’s Hifi Club a few times in these recorded segments. Earlier in November 2020, Hifi Club closed its doors permanently. In episode 3, I spoke with Hifi’s Pete Emes and Sarmad Rizvi about the origins of the club. If you haven’t heard episode 3, you’ll want to check that out to get some context about the club’s role in Canada’s electronic music scene..
