Each episode of Dada Strain is focused on a single topic. 
Some are about musical styles, some about places or specific artists, 
one was a kind of eulogy. 

Each features an extended, edited interview with one guest, intercut with music that illuminates the topic. Taken together, I hope they paint a picture of sonic fluidity that collocates the oncoming chaos of the seemingly genre-less future, connecting sounds and ideas regarded as culturally separate but actually long united by tradition. All without coming off as too pedantic (hopefully!), full of stories and thoughts that are fun and useful to a general music audience.
