After almost a decade of silence, the remaining member of Telefone Tel Aviv, Josh Eustis, is preparing to release new music under the moniker he launched with Charlie Cooper in 1999.
He talks to the Rave Curious Podcast about the struggle of working solo and previous battles against laptop haters that date back to the golden age of hardware in the 1990s.
Think we got some well-deserved rest after COMPOUND 2017 closed its doors at 7am? Think again!
We rolled with Perc to the Rave Curious podcast, where he sat down for an interesting conversation about his secret to surviving in the tough world of technoâfrom loosing records in distributor liquidations (three times in 13 years) to playing packed clubs one weekend and half empty rooms the next.
Dutch DJ Steve Rachmad is one of Holland’s original techno producers. He’s also one of the truest in term of his undiluted commitment to the music in its original Detroit-manufactured form. No wonder he carries with him a “Detroit pass” like fellow European greats Laurent Garnier, Maurizio and Luke Slater.
Whether making and playing music as Sterac (his harder techno alias), Tons of Tones (his most Detroit-sounding records) or as his own groovy self, the Amsterdam fixture continues to move crowds after more than 25 behind the decks.
He talks about his early discovery of pre-techno electronic music, his close call with Dutch hardcore and his ambition to play live…someday, all on this episode of Rave Curious.

A founding member of San Francisco’s Wicked Soundsystem, DJ Garth was instrumental in bringing the sound of UK acid house to the Bay Area at a time when the early public internet was taking shape. Yet despite the close connection between SF’s rave scene and the nascent tech community, the British expat has always kept it old school when it comes to DJing, remaining a vinyl purist while CDs, laptops and USBs became the industry norm.
The newest episode of the Rave Curious Podcast talks to Garth about those halcyon days by the bay, his new life as an actor in Los Angeles, and why after 25 years, Wicked Soundsystem retains the same loyal following it built from scratch.
