We’ve made it to the final episode of Season One - and we’re going out with a bang. To wrap up the season, we’re joined by the incredible Liverpool-rooted electronic duo Those Holy for an intimate in-store performance that blends industrial textures with synth-wave energy. Massive thanks to Chrissy and Lucy for bringing their unique sound to the shop.

In this week’s episode - the penultimate of season one - we’re getting personal. We’re taking it back to where it all began: a job Marc hated, a tough mental health journey, selling records from the back of our car, and the leap of faith that led to opening our shop. Fast forward to today, and we’re just a few weeks away from celebrating two years of Dead Air Records on Suffolk Street.
We talk about the challenges of running an ind...
In this episode of the Dead Air Records Podcast, we're back with a friendly crash course on jazz - specifically, the 'Golden Age of Jazz' in the 1950s and 60s. Jazz can sometimes feel hard to approach, so we’re breaking it down by looking at five essential record labels that shaped the sound: Blue Note, Impulse!, Prestige, Verve, and Riverside.
We’ll also point to a few modern artists still keeping jazz fresh and exc...
This week, we are over the moon to share an in-store performance and interview with Liverpool band Shefu. Fresh from their sold out headline show at The Windmill in Brixton and the release of their self-titled EP, we had the pleasure of welcoming Rose, Alice, Tom and Freddie down to the shop to perform four tracks and chat about how the band started, where they draw inspiration from, and what Liverpool means to them.

Maybe it was the fact that we were both under the weather, or maybe it was our wildly different takes on the best and worst Radiohead album… or perhaps Jess still hasn’t recovered from losing the 1997 vs 2007 battle. Either way, Episode 8 is our sassiest (and most controversial) yet.
We’re ranking Radiohead’s albums from best to worst - do we get it right, or are we completely off the mark? Plus, don’t miss the return of Across the ...
