Those Electrapod ChatsThat '2025' ChatAs 2025 limps proudly to the bar for last orders, we thought it was only right to pause, rewind, and gently roast ourselves. This wrap pod is less about wisdom and more about survival. The moments where the mics were hot, the filters were off, and things went spectacularly sideways. Missed cues, bad maths, accidental philosophy, moments of pure nonsense and the occasional laugh that broke the room. It is a look back at the bits that were never planned, never scripted, and somehow became the most human parts of the year. If nothing else, consider this proof that we...

Those Electrapod ChatsThat 'Ice Cream Van' ChatThe chat dives into the wave of new Defra regulations now landing on the desks of ice cream van owners and mobile traders across the UK, unpacking what they mean for a trade rooted in nostalgia but facing rapid modernisation. We explore how updated environmental standards, emissions rules, and tighter controls on generators are reshaping the familiar jingle-lined streets of summer. Traders share concerns about the cost of compliance, from transitioning to cleaner power sources to navigating noise restrictions and new hygiene expectations. The conversation also touches on the cultural role of ice cream vans and whether regulation risks...

Those Electrapod ChatsThat 'Titan AE' Chat | From Don Bluth to Cosmic CastawayIn this special 25th Anniversary episode, we celebrate Titan A.E., the cult sci-fi animated classic—and Electrasy’s unforgettable contribution to its soundtrack. The film marked a bold moment in animated cinema, and our track “Cosmic Castaway” became an anthem for outsiders and dreamers alike. To honour its silver anniversary, we’ve opened the vaults to share something truly special: the never-before-heard demo of the song, raw and unfiltered. We also play the original track as featured in the movie, and reveal our brand new 2025 re-recording—remastered, reimagined, and released just in time for the birthday celebrations.

Those Electrapod ChatsThat 'Drumming' Chat | This Episode Bangs (Literally)Grab your sticks and brace your ears — this week we’re sitting down with the rhythm machine himself, Christopher ‘Padge’ Page, Electrasy’s very own drumming demigod. From his early days tapping out Latin-inspired grooves with his mums knitting needles to smashing it on stage with one of Britpop’s most unexpectedly explosive comebacks, Padge brings the beat and the banter.
We dive into the wild world of drumming, explore how his percussive roots are steeped in salsa, samba, and sheer sweat, and find out what really gets it banging (spoiler: it involves timing, tequila, and occasionally tearing thro...

Those Electrapod ChatsThat 'Sp*ify' Chat | The Streaming Industry EXPOSED w/ Tom Austin-MorganIn this explosive episode, we dive headfirst into the murky waters of the music streaming economy—and it gets heated. 💥 With over 602 million monthly active users and 236 million premium subscribers, Spotify dominates the global music landscape. But is it good for musicians?
We’re joined by Tom Austin-Morgan—musician, journalist, and industry insider—for a no-holds-barred conversation about how the Spotify bonus model and pro-rata payout system are failing the very artists who fuel the platform. 🎶
Did you know artists need 250+ streams just to earn $1? Which basically means they'll need to be getting 1m+ streams a month just t...

Those Electrapod ChatsThat 'MK1' Chat | Before the Beautiful InsanityIn this special episode of the Electrasy Podcast, we crack open the vault and revisit the lost gems of our MK1 album—a collection of tracks that played a pivotal role in getting us signed to Universal Music. These raw, electric demos, produced by the brilliant Jon Sweet, were the sonic blueprint of our early identity—songs brimming with Britpop swagger and heart. Many were never officially released, and for years they existed only as echoes from our past. But while writing Calling All The Dreamers, we dusted them off, reclaimed them, and remembered what made them so special.
