The Music Folder #17 Demdike Stare

The Music Folder #17 Demdike Stare Interview by Gaetano Scippa, 13/01/2025 In this episode of our podcast series The Music Folder, we are delighted to host English electronic music duo Demdike Stare, in conversation with music journalist Gaetano Scippa. Demdike Stare share their roots and the genesis of their journey, from local folklore to their deep love for soundtracks and (Italian) library music particularly the works of Piero Umiliani and Nora Orlandi - which are all about atmosphere. The conversation touches on their perception of music as a whole, beyond genres, during the 1990s, when they were inspired by revolutionary mixtapes from DJ Hype and Coldcut, the intersection of techno and hip-hop productions, seminal labels like Mo’ Wax and Warp, and their explorations of global sounds. Miles Whittaker and Sean Canty admit they still feel naive yet enthusiastic about discovering new music today, refusing to align with any specific movement. Episode realized in partnership with INNER_SPACES and San Fedele Musica.
