Every quote links to the moment in the episode."I'm alone in San Francisco at Thelonious Monk was also alone in San Francisco at some point but he's a hero of mine. Amazing, you can just listen to less than one bar of any of his recordings and know immediately it was him."Watch this moment
"Picked up the new Autechre record. These guys are great, always just so far ahead of the curve and pushing the equipment they're using to the limit and come and go full of stuff you've never heard before."Watch this moment
"One of my favorite producers on the planet is Nosaj Thing from Los Angeles. He's great, just really elegantly produced, you know, beautiful cinematic electronic beat."Watch this moment
