In this episode of the Sonic Groove Podcast, Adam X interviews legendary electronic music producer Robert Henke, known for his work as Monolake. Recorded in Henke's Berlin studio, the conversation covers his journey from Munich to post-communist Berlin in the early '90s amid the rise of the techno scene.

A topic of discussion is his role as a vinyl-cutting engineer at Dubplates and Mastering in the mid-'90s, where Adam and Robert discuss the frequency limitations of vinyl and the challenges of cutting lower-quality, bedroom-produced techno.
