Big DJ gigs with an intense lightshow and a strong focus on visuals have been there for a while – but it seems like they are having a new peak. With DJs like Anyma selling out the Sphere in Las Vegas, it sparks the question: Has it become more important how a show looks than how it sounds? In this episode, we are joined by cultural commentator and journalist Cameron Cook to talk about how visuals changed in the past years, what the trend is right now and how the future could look like.

Interior and set design have always been a part of dance music, with different parties and clubs creating spaces that amplify and enhance the sonic and social experience. But for every person turned on to techno by TikTok and craving Instagrammable visual moments, there's another who wants a raw warehouse and no-frills dancefloor. In this episode, we invited Arnold from KWIA – one of Berlin's coziest, most intentional spaces – to talk about the legacy of design in nightlife, and how different types of spaces can shape sounds and scenes.
