AIR is an interview podcast series with a different theme each episode. Created in 2017, AIR aims to be something different in the wide world of music journalism. Tired of the usual promotional fluff, host Emma Robertson invites artists, DJs, and musicians to get deep on one topic that inspires them — everything from nature, to film, to spirituality — in the hope that it inspires you, too.

This month’s episode comes from a recording from Dimensions Festival last year, where I am lucky enough to be invited to host a series of live talks on site. You’ll find me back at the festival this year hosting talks at The Haze stage on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, so please come say hello! Last year it was our deep pleasure to host a UK icon, the inimitable DJ and producer Grace Sands. What…
My guests for AIR's 85th episode are none other than @donato-dozzy and @neel, also known as Voices from the Lake. Each beloved producers and DJs in their own right, Donato and Neel have been bound together by music since the earliest days of their friendship, and Voices from the Lake is the logical continuation of that union, part improvisation, part dialogue, all trust. Forged for what was meant…
Joining me this month is saxophonist, vocalist, and producer @laura-emma-misch. A South London born musician, Laura began releasing her bedroom-produced EPs around 2017, until, feeling constricted and isolated by her recording environment, she moved her practice outdoors and into nature. The result was 2023’s Sample The Sky, her debut album produced in response to the natural world. Her 2026 album…
This month we’re on episode 83 and my guest is Berlin based DJ, producer, and subglow boss CCL. Even if you’ve never seen a @ccl-url DJ set, you’ve probably listened to one of their many, many mixtapes — the consummate dreamweaver, CCL’s musical storytelling is unparalleled in its ingenuity. Unbound by genre, tempo, or style, and with a massive archive to back them up, CCL’s mixtapes are a lesson…

This month I’m so pleased to be joined by French DJ, producer, and label boss Julien Veniel, also known as @djulz.

He returned to Paris,,…
This month’s episode of AIR is our 80th episode! Can you believe! I’m very pleased to welcome Greg Broussard, better known as Egyptian Lover. Born in LA, Broussard’s musical journey began when he started making mixtapes with his friends in high school, and learning to mix from his older brother. His skills as DJ eventually lead him to join the iconic party collective Uncle Jamm’s Army, whose…
Bringing back a bit of summer with the first recorded interview from this past @dimensionsfestival in Tisno, Croatia. This was my second year hosting talks at the lovely Haze stage and the first guest in our little series is Australian DJ and Animalia label boss, @kia-sydney. A longtime lover of dance music who started DJing in 2015, Kia’s sets travel from dark and driving to playful and euphoric…
A producer and live performer who has been exploring dance music for more than a decade, @rroxymore's sound is immersive, covering techno, hip hop, house, synthwork, new age, and beyond. Since her first forays into production in her native France, she touched down in Berlin, where the world of music opened up for her even further, and her most recent release, 2025’s #JugglingDualities, was her…
This month I’m pleased to welcome producer and composer Adam Wiltzie, best known for his projects @starsofthelid, and A Winged Victory for the Sullen (@awvfts). After a chance meeting during university, Brian McBride and @adambryanbaumwiltzie formed Stars of the Lid in Austin, Texas in 1992. Their first album Music for Nitrous Oxide, a monolith of drone and extraterrestrial soundscapes, was a…
