Hal and Betto deliver fidget house, electro, drum & bass, disco and breaks, alongside tales of supporting Tiësto in Ibiza, Hal splitting his trousers in front of 15,000 people in Japan and Betto’s surreal Berlin café adventure. Phonat drops in with fresh Wolfgang Gartner, Hal proves he really sang on Supermode’s Tell Me Why, and the pair improvise the surely overdue ballad When a Man Has a Podcast. Finally, a strangely worded Tanzanian news headline provokes some unfortunate giggles. Then the tragic details emerge, and the real comedy becomes the increasingly hopeless struggle to stop laughing at precisely the moment they absolutely shouldn’t.

80s synth-pop pioneer Howard Jones joins Hal for a proper synth-geek deep dive, and even records a new vocal for a house remix while he’s there. From working in a cling-film factory to fund his keyboard habit to wrestling with temperamental synths onstage, Howard recalls the making of his groundbreaking live show. They revisit New Song, The Young Punx’s Mohito collaboration and dancefloor reworks by Eric Prydz and Cedric Gervais, plus the chaos of selling freshly recorded concert CDs straight after gigs. And Howard would like you to know he’d rather be called ‘Synth Wizard’.

ep14. PODAGEDDON

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:09:44 — 71.0MB)

A £17 meal becomes £170 at a Tokyo ninja restaurant, giving Hal and Betto plenty to discuss between electro house, breaks, hip-hop and drum & bass. Phonat is summoned from next door to introduce his freshly finished Ghetto Burnin, while Guthrie Govan’s first-take guitar jams on unfinished Young Punx tracks are frankly ridiculous. There’s a sweat-drenched live recording of Drum and Bacharach from Japan’s Summer Sonic festival, spectacularly obscene rap from MC Paul Barman, and an attempt to get Chase & Status on mic, thwarted by their urgent discussion about how much cash you’re legally allowed to keep at home. Plus cowbells from the Box of Fun. Naturally.
