Stefan Betke (aka Pole) was recently interviewed on a show called Radio-Activity (CRFU 93.3 FM Guelph, Ontario). In the interview (listen/download below) he discusses his work, his upcoming releases and the present state of electronic music. Words with one of the masters. Check it out!
From Radio-Activity
I interviewed Stefan Betke on a sunny afternoon in Montreal after soundchecking his Pole set for Mutek on June 4th. Topics of discussion include design vs. improvisation, Conrad Schnitzler, reflections of the Pole trilogy, and why MP3s sound ugly in the club. Also new music from Deadbeat and Deadboy, and dark brooding techno from Lucy and Shed. Enjoy!
