  • JULIAN HOUSE [2024 REMIX]

    JULIAN HOUSE [2024 REMIX]
    Mar 30 2024
    Design Freaks 79 is a remix of episode 30 (published March 2021) on British graphic designer and musician, Julian House. I’m revisiting this and remixing with visuals because 1. JH is one of my favorite designers of all time 2. Warp Records has announced a pair of Broadcast demo collections, saying they will be the final releases from the duo (May and September, 2024). I also focus on his work with INTRO (London-based design studio) for CAN, Ghost Box Records, and independent work for Broadcast and Stereolab. PLUS the origin story of "Cliff", Stereolab's cartoon mascot! This episode is sponsored by @distrokid 🎵 ➡️ distrokid.com/vip/designfreaks for a 30% discount!

  • CAN - Ege Bamyasi

    CAN - Ege Bamyasi
    Mar 4 2024
    CAN = "LIFE". In this mini DFCAC episode, I investigated the cover for CAN's 1972 release, Ege Bamyasi. Designed by the dynamic duo, Ingo Trauer and Richard J. Rudow, this is one of my favorite CAN records – it features Damo Suzuki and some of their most memorable songs. I go over two separate stories about the name Ege Bamyasi (Turkish for Aegean Okra), the recent Damo documentary, and what I was able to find out about Ingo. Check out the youtube for companion visuals or listen wherever you get podcasts. Thank you for tuning in!
