PLATTER EP01: The Intro, with Groceries

I use this episode to set the framework for the stories to come. I contextualize Halifax for listeners who aren’t familiar; explain who I am and my own connection to dance music; and provide a lightning-round introduction to the origins of house and techno. I discuss the original parties that inspired the way we party today, and draw parallels between those parties and the current scene in Halifax. Finally, I introduce the DJs / promoters I’ll be interviewing throughout the rest of the series.

Tracks:

• The Nightwriters - Let the Music Use You (Club Mix)
• Cybersonik - Technarky
• Booty Buster - Freaky East Bay
