Kölsch on the Not a Diving Podcast by Scuba: A Must-Listen for Electronic Music Lovers
Scrolling through Instagram, I stumbled upon a gem on Kölsch’s feed — a podcast episode that he appeared on for Scuba’s Not a Diving podcast. Naturally, being a huge fan, biggest fan of Kölsch and intrigued by the podcast’s premise, I had to give it a listen. And I’m so glad I did!
For those unfamiliar, Not a Diving Podcast is hosted by Scuba (aka Paul Rose), a multi-talented musician, DJ, and A&R who dives deep into conversations with significant figures from the electronic music world. The podcast covers a wide range of topics, from personal experiences to navigating the ever-evolving music industry. It’s a mix of observations, advice, and insightful stories from people who have made their mark in electronic music.
Kölsch: A Deep Dive into His Journey
The episode with Kölsch (Rune Reilly Kölsch) is an absolute treat. Over the span of about an hour and a half, Rune opens up about his journey through the music industry — from playing in small clubs to headlining festivals and everything in between. He touches on some important topics like:
- The Evolution of the Scene: Rune discusses the shifts in the electronic music scene over the years, including how festivals and underground clubs have evolved and the role they play in supporting local talent.
- Community and Connection: There’s a real emphasis on the sense of community that electronic music can foster. Rune reflects on how vital these relationships are for artists to thrive, sharing stories about collaboration, networking, and staying grounded amidst the chaos of the industry.
- Creative Process and Challenges: He also dives into the challenges and joys of being a creator, discussing how he balances his artistic vision with the pressures of the industry and audience expectations. There’s something deeply inspiring about hearing someone of Rune’s calibre talk about his creative process and his genuine love for music.
The entire conversation is so raw and authentic. It feels less like a formal interview and more like two friends chatting about the highs and lows of their careers. It is real people with incredible stories, dedication, and passion for what they do.
High-Quality and Professional Podcasting
The production quality of Not a Diving is top-notch. Scuba’s approach as a host is incredibly thoughtful. He’s a natural conversationalist, making the podcast feel relaxed yet highly engaging. Each episode flows smoothly, and it’s clear that a lot of care goes into the questions and topics covered. You can tell Scuba is genuinely interested in his guests’ stories and insights, which makes each episode feel special.
After listening to the Kölsch episode, I’m officially hooked. This podcast has a wealth of content for anyone who loves electronic music or is curious about the inner workings of the industry. I’ve already subscribed, and I’ll definitely be going through the archives to check out more episodes.
Next on my playlist? The interview with Steve Davis, a six-time world snooker champion turned DJ. Now, this one promises to be an interesting crossover of worlds! I can’t wait to hear his thoughts on transitioning from a career in sports to one in music. Given how well Scuba handled the Kölsch interview, I know the conversation with Davis will be just as insightful.
Final Thoughts: Will Kölsch Release an Autobiography?
Listening to Rune on this podcast made me realize just how many stories he must have from his time in the industry. I’d absolutely love to see him release an autobiography someday. I can only imagine the depth and richness of the tales he could share — from navigating the early days of his career to becoming a globally recognized DJ and producer. (even being on Masterchef!)
