Rewinding ‘Beats in Space,’ the Influential Radio Show
Tim Sweeney has been hosting the underground electronic music show for 20 years.

Yes! “Especially now, as I’m getting older, I love radio even more. It’s still, I guess, inspiring for me, hearing new music.” His show is a marvel. @NTSlive has also changed my life. So has @gillespeterson (who I’ve followed for 38 years!)

Questlove and haptic gloves, minimal-techno masters lost in light and fog, tripping on digital psychedelics, and other very Moogfest things to say.
Gavin Yamey
This is a brilliant summary of how @Moogfest really found its groove this year. I agree it was accessible, diverse, & blended the best of the dancefloor with the experimental. Plus Juan Atkins!
