We have discussed this thread on a few recent episodes of the podcast, so it seemed appropriate to have the man himself back on the show to discuss it.Man Power has been making waves in the UK scene since our last conversation on episode 52, with his parties at the Are You Affiliated venue and willingness to speak his mind on various topics affecting the grassroots club scene. Obviously this makes him a great candidate for an NDP episode and we here we have it. I'm currently on holiday but will be back in a couple of weeks, in case anything in this episode isn't entirely up to the minute!If you're into what we're doing here on the pod then you can support the show on Patreon!

Our first ever Not A Diving Club event at fabric in London last week was a success. We played a ton of unreleased bangers and had a panel discussion on topical issues with Machine Woman, T.Williams, and Braille.On this week's episode we bring you a recording of the discussion, plus some of my thoughts on a topic close to my heard... relating to this little nugget which developed over the past week. If you're into what we're doing here on the pod then you can support the show on Patreon!

The requirements of the modern musician to constantly explain themselves, preferably direct to camera on social media, are so far from the operating system of this week's guest as to be entirely alien. So to welcome him to the podcast is a great privilege. A co-founder of the legendary Skull Disco label, veteran of the embryonic dubstep scene, and subsequent traveller through musical psychedelia, he's a producer with an instantly recognisable style who has managed to develop it in surprising ways while keeping absolutely true to his musical principles. This is an extremely rare Shackleton interview so there was much to discuss, and we get deep into his highly prolific recent catalogue, his transplant to Germany and relationship with his home country, as well as that formative period in the movement that became known as dubstep.
