    emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

    This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Goldie, originally episode 156 from 2017-06-21.


    Original writeup below:

    A proper filfy drum n' bass banger right here this week too as Pip is joined FINALLY after a long bout of scheduling and planning by the one and only, the Metalhead himself, the UK's national drum & bass treasure - Goldie! "The barbarians from within will raise their heads and rise the deities..." ...and that's one single quote from this absolutely ram packed and intense juggernaught rollercoaster of an episode, as Pip white-knuckles the railing and hold on for dear life as the whirlwind rolls through town and demolishes all in its path! The whirlwind being Goldie, that is. I'm sure you gathered that. Finding his home out in Phuket these days, the path has been rocky, full on, winding and incredible and Goldie has lived through it all - the raves, the graf days out in the Bronx, early days of techno, being a household name in what they used to call 'intelligent drum & bass' with his smash hit 'Inner City Life', a rugged divorce, heavy personal life events including the passing of his mother, and every single second underpinned by his unending appetite for his craft and music making. A fantastic and thrilling ride of an episode, which will make you want to dig out the back catalogue and reminisce over the past while waiting for his new album 'The Journey Man' to download... As Goldie put it himself; "There are no full stops in my life... At all..." Oh and wait for the American and German accents later on. Blimey.

  • Danny Boyle: a chat at Curzon, Soho (28 Years Later / Slumdog Millionaire / Trainspotting) #624
    Jun 24 2025

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

    This week Pip is joined by the UK film titan in town on business for 28 Years Later, it's DANNY BOYLE!


    An immense amount of cinematic greatness can be packed into a smaller episode, as you shall witness with this awesome episode with Danny. This was recorded as part of the Converstions @ Curzon series, where the best of the best film folk get to chat about the craft in a perfect environment for such conversations. As you can hear Danny is always great for a film talk, and even though up against the clock, it was enough to get into some proper good ground relating to output, theory and general approach. He and Pip also check in on cinema seating and the specifics, the effect of sound on an audience and working with sonic layers, working with Young Fathers, the changing image of horror, funding for films, the idea of cultural stasis in the time of the original 28 Days Later, and handing over the reins for the third iteration. Told you it was a lot for a shorter run time... Go in on this!

    emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

    This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Kwno, originally episode 288 from 2019-09-18.


    Original writeup below!

    A really fun and engaging sit-down with the two, as Pip catches Kano in the midst of a promo run which leads us nicely into the whole thing - from the cycle beginning and ending (and then beginning again), his time served at the notorious Deja Vu station back in the day, teaming up with Mike Skinner and the inspiration Mike had on his live shows (along with dancehall culture in Jamaica), his brother getting him into DJing and emceeing, roots beyond grime, not being scared of ‘off’ days, getting in the zone in the studio, being tuned into society and understanding the mechanics of it, speaking truth to power, addressing problems on wax, conversations through music, importance of sport and non musical activities, being in a computer game, going HAM on his fourth callback for Top Boy, practice making perfect and rehearsing for his Royal Albert Hall show! Pop ten bottles of escapism for this one - get very involved!
