LIVE. in conversation
What makes a good playlist?
Each episode of LIVE. in conversation explores a different genre, tracing its history, influences and the artists who helped shape its sound. Along the way, we sit down with music lovers, DJs and collectors to explore their perspectives on the music and build a playlist together.
To accompany each episode, we've curated a selection of records available through our marketplace. Each collection offers a way to explore the genre further, hear something new and find records worth adding to your own rotation.
ITALO DISCO
Italo Disco emerged in Italy during the late 1970s and early 1980s, blending disco with synth-pop and electronic dance music. Known for its synthesised basslines, drum machines, catchy melodies and often English-language vocals, the sound became an important influence on later electronic dance music.
MOLAM
Molam is a traditional folk music style rooted in northeastern Thailand and Laos. Known for its expressive storytelling, rhythmic vocals and distinctive instruments like the khaen and phin, it has evolved from traditional performances to incorporate electric guitars, keyboards and modern dance rhythms.
