A Daft Punk / Discovery Special
Johann Wald takes the reins of Line Noise for a one-off special looking forward to the release of Daft Punk's Discovery - The Future Unfurled by Line Noise's own Ben Cardew. Ben outlines why Discovery is the most important album of the last 20 years and explains his outlandish theory about Daft Punk's second album being deliberately flawed, while Johann looks back to early 2000s Madrid.

With Harold Heath
Harold Heath's recent book, Long Relationships: My Incredible Journey From Unknown DJ to Small-time DJ, will tug at the heard strings and tickle the funny bone of anyone who has ever set foot on a dance floor. Ben Cardew interviewed the DJ / producer turned writer to talk the ridiculousness of rave, the tech house identity crisis, ghost producers and the spectre of "downloaded for Richie Hawtin".
