JOHN GRANT is struggling to find a way to express the dread he felt as a pre-teen.

In a new three‑part series, DJ, producer and remixer Dave Clarke meets key figures from half a century of electronic music.
In this series, I will be interviewing leading figures from three generations of electronic music: people who have shaped, are shaping, and will shape the future of these genres. My aim was not just to find out about their studio and music‑making techniques, but to dig a little deeper and work out what makes them tick creatively. For this first instalment, I elected to interview John Foxx.

Rob Frye spent much of the 2010s playing in Chicagoâs Bitchin Bajas, whose goofy name belies an affinity for immersive, outward-bound music more in keeping with acid trips in cathedrals than the bratty surf punk that their handle implies. If you believe that one of musicâs primary goals is to transport the listener from earthly concerns, you will find no more fuel-efficient vehicle to achieve this than Bitchin Bajas. As with the work of Terry Riley, Bitchin Bajasâ music scans as both lysergic and liturgical. At their best, they make your head feel as if itâs a sky-sized sponge for transcendent tones.
