The potential of NFTs to save musicians was always pretty tenuous, and the more excitable proponents of the whole thing always sounded a bit too much like they were either trying to convince themselves about it. Or maybe that they were just scamming.
Our guest this week is deep in the world of digital art, but doesn't make any bold claims to be even linking it in much of a way to his first area of creative interest which was, of course, music.
Agoria is an important name in the history of the French scene, with a long career releasing records on the full spectrum of labels, throwing parties (including the key festival Nuits Sonores), and DJing all over the world. He's also a thoroughly nice chap who I've had the pleasuring of hanging out with a playing a good few b2b sets with over the years.
We discuss the whole web3 thing, his involvement in the digital art scene more generally, the Paris olympics, meeting President Macron, the Presidential art collection, the future of dance music, and a lot more besides.
