We’ll cut to the chase. There are an endless number of annual, monthly, weekly, and everything-in-between podcasts out there. So here are a few of our favorites right now that are consistent in regards to content, flow, and surprises. Enough with the chitty chitty chat chat. Let’s check them out in no particular order.
Nora En Pure – Purified Radio – indie dance / deep house
The South African born, now living in Switzerland DJ provides us every two weeks with a very selective collection of tracks that flow together beautifully. Not many DJs mix indie dance into their podcasts, but Nora makes it seem easy with her smooth selections grooves disco, gets deep, and has you going.
Mark Knight – Toolroom Radio – tech house
Toolroom Records is our go-to for everything tech house, whether it be Miami Music Week or summertime in Ibiza. Owner and founder Mark Knight always brings the best collection of new music and weekly favorites, along with an additional hour long guest mix from names such as Adrian, Truth Be Told, or CDC. It’s a double-whammy, first by getting an update on everything new and hot, and then you’re free to lose yourself with the continuous no-talking hour mix to lose yourself.
Max Graham – Cycles Radio – trance / progressive / house
“A two hour journey through techno, tech house, progressive and more” If you’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing Max Graham live, then you’ll know that it’s a experience, and his podcast is no different. Cycles Radio like many of the other podcasts on this list is minimal with the talking, and all about the music. With a smooth flow and unnoticeable transitions, every episode is a gift.
The Anjunadeep Edition – deep house
Laying on a blanket, staring at the sky. Sitting in a hammock, listening to the waves crash. Both relaxing situations are fine examples of how it feels to listen to The Anjunadeep Edition podcast. Smooth and emotional mixes by Jody Wisteroff, Martin Roth, James Grant, and more, provide all of the feels every week, nonstop.
Glen Horsborough – Let There Be House – house
“In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove…” These are the words that we hear at the beginning of every episode of Let There Be House, and we never get tired of it. Every week Glen Horsborough gives us the best mix of house, focusing on great vocals and great vibes. As of April, Let There Be House is now an official record label, and with reaching that milestone, the sky’s the limit. We’ll be there right along with Glenn’s impeccable taste and selection for the journey and can’t wait to see who he signs and releases tracks with.
Clapcast from Claptone – deep house
You might say to yourself after reading the above description for The Anjunadeep Edition, why another deep house focused podcast? Give it a listen, and you’ll understand. Claptone brings the funkier and the more disco side of deep house. His track selection is always complete unique compared to others, so don’t miss out.
Anjunabeats Worldwide – trance + house
Started by producers Jonathan “Jono” Grant and Paavo Siljamäki in 2000, Anjunabeats has some of the best trousey (trance + house) artists and releases out there. If you’ve ever seen Above & Beyond, Arty, or Audien live, you understand, and when you listen to the podcast, you’ll understand how lucky you are to have a weekly dose of these incredibly signed artists and their mixes.
Don Diablo Presents Hexagon Radio – house
With positivity and great messaging, Don Diablo’s podcast always features the curiosities of his electronic friend Hex, musical submissions from his fans, and a great upbeat flow of house hits. His popularity has soared in the past year, and people, such as us, have taken notice, for good reason.
Markus Schulz Presents Global DJ Broadcast – trance
Holding true to trance and his fans worldwide, Markus Schulz, unlike many other DJs, has never wavered with his style. His record label Coldharbour Recordings has been going strong since 2005, and hasn’t skipped a beat, even when breaking away from Armada Music in 2013 and going independent. Solid Stone, Nifra, Ronski Speed, and many other artists with the same passion for real trance join Markus with his podcast for endless mixes and premieres. However, the fan shoutouts and consistent inclusion of huge live recordings into his two hours podcast make it stand out amongst the rest.
Claude VonStroke presents The Birdhouse – tech house
The Detroit native, now living in San Francisco and leading the way with Dirtybird Records, Barclay Crewnshaw has been crushing the tech house scene with massive new artists that never stop, the Dirtybird BBQ series, and their own Dirtybird Campout that got voted unanimously across the blog & media sphere world as one of these best festivals of 2015. Listening to the podcast is like sitting in your backyard throwing back a few brews with your favorite people, bullshitting, talking about great music, and just being goofy as you do. With premieres, “Jurassic Classic”, “Bass In Your Face”, and great short guest mix every week, it’ll have your two-stepping, grooving, and signing up for the Campout in no time.
