For many Skeme Richards is considered to be one of the best break DJs out there. Skeme has collaborated with some of the big names in Hip Hop and was part of the most recognized name in the B-Boy and breakdance movement, The Rock Steady Crew.
We take a personal tour through his 15,000+ record collection, learn what makes record digging exciting to him, plus he shares his favorite international vinyl stores and top albums of all time. Skeme further lets us in on the releases and artists he is most excited about right now and leads us back to his roots in block parties and growing up in a household that listened to the Godfather of Soul, Mr James Brown. -
Dave Audé has to date produced 133 #1 US Dance tracks, which means he has more number ones than any other producer on the Billboard Dance Club charts. He won a Grammy for his remix of Uptown Funk and has worked with everybody from U2 to Rihanna, Beyonce to Lady Gaga, Sting to Madonna, the list is endless.
And it all started with him establishing the Moonshine label together with Steve Levy in the early ’90s which was tremendously influential in the EDM space.
In this inaugural episode of Sound Habit, I talk with Dave about the music he grew up with, his influences from Giorgio Moroder to the Eagles, how he had to get rid of all but 800 of his vinyl collection and he did so by giving it to some of his fans. We also talk about something that is at the heart of Toneoptic, the power of the record sleeve, how he listens to much of the same music anyone would in his spare time, and how his career started with being a fan of Erasure and he is now producing them.
To accompany the interview we created a playlist featuring almost all the artists and songs Dave mentions during the conversation. Listen while you hear him talk, or after the interview, regardless, get ready for some 80's flashback and 90's club smashes, with a fair share of Dave's remixes sprinkled within. Find it on Spotify under SOUND HABIT – Dave Audé Interview Playlist
