This month on Before The ENCORE, Sonic Architect Adam is joined by Toby Hatchett of Hatchett Sound – a designer of bespoke soundsystems featured across the island of Ireland. For those of you unfamiliar, you have Toby to thank for the beautifully handcrafted hi-fi soundsystems in The Big Romance, Fidelity Bar & Studio, Connolly's of Leap, Lost Lane, Hang Dai and Allta to name a few. Toby drops into Adam's studio on the way back to his West Cork workshop from Dublin to discuss his love for audio and creating that special experience for people, his ventures across venues to hi-fi "listening bars", to being tasked with designing an entire bar himself in his most recent output. If you're an audiophile or someone interested in one of the more abstract areas of the industry, this is the episode for you.*If you'd like to get this episode and all NO ENCORE episodes a full 24 hours earlier and ad-free, check us out over on Patreon here.*-Follow Hatchett Sound on InstagramHatchett Sound Website

Autumnal gloom has set in and the only way is down after Zara Hedderman's all-timer of a Top 5 on the previous episode, right? WRONG! Despite the astounding heights of that aforementioned T5, we're keeping the energy supercharged with the returning Max Zanga, present in-studio as a representative of mysterious rising solo talent Filmore!, who definitely is a different person than Max, honest. The new Filmore! EP is called Idle Death Gamble and it's really very good indeed, and so we talk about that and the overall project at large. Elsewhere, we've got a truly nonsensical Top 5, and a grab-bag of news to get through...And don't forget to hit up patreon.com/noencore, we've got a new Film Club episode dropping this Sunday, all about sweaty and problematic 1993 thriller Falling Down.ACT ONE: The preamble in which we ramble. ACT TWO: Filmore! in conversation. Kinda. ACT THREE (31:54): News! Robert Smith bashes Oasis, Taylor Swiftonomics keeps on churning out the goods, Donald Trump reveals his megamix, Atomic Kitten are still a thing, and some words for the late, great Ka. ACT FOUR (1:04:32): Top 5 Nonsense Songs. -Follow Max Zanga on Instagram / X Follow Filmore! on InstagramListen to Idle Death Gamble
