  • Theory Underground on Radio Študent Ljubjana FM 89.3 — Europe's oldest Student Radio, Est. 1968
    May 30 2024

    Theory Underground stops mid-tour for a special interview with Vid at Radio Študent Ljubjana FM 89.3 — Europe's oldest Student Radio, Est. 1968. Talking timenergy, the fundamental fault-line of the current theory scene, new media approaches, and so much more.

    Thanks so much to Radio Študent Ljubjana FM 89.3 and Vid for making it possible. Shout out to John for the videography work. (Because audio was damaged on the camera we weren't able to sync video and audio for this interview... so the video is simply there to add something, but it won't sync up because that would have taken us way too much time)
