  • Summary

  • It’s mid-August, and the students who buy so many of the tickets for local club nights are away. They aren’t coming back any time soon, and when they do, they’re less likely than their forbears to even go to clubs in the first place (and drinks aren’t cheap anymore).


    So how do we keep the city partying hard, and what’s it like to be a DJ right now? Mollie sits down with Finn McCorry, NTS resident, club promoter, and DJ best known for his critically-acclaimed EP Everything is alright. He plays Soup and White Hotel regularly, and he has been described as a music producer who “knows the transformative power of a lean groove and a catchy sample”, whose music feels “alive and eternal” (you can read the full review of this EP in Pitchfork by clicking here). In this episode, Finn takes us inside the city's club scene, and asks: What would it take to safeguard nightlife's future?
