Episode Summary

In this solo episode, Hayden Quinn returns after a short break — spent, in part, deep in Disco Elysium — and dives straight into a mix of music culture, controversy, and recommendations.

He unpacks the recent controversy surrounding marketing company Chaotic Good, which was exposed for allegedly running fake TikTok fan account networks to manufacture viral moments for artists, and what this means for authenticity in music discovery.

The episode also covers the backlash around Radio Free Atlas appearing on Like a Version, where their cover of DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love by Usher sparked debate after comments about the original track.

Elsewhere, Hayden revisits the cult classic The Commitments, reflecting on why the story of a Dublin soul band still holds up today.

Plus, three songs worth your time this week:

• underscores — Hollywood Forever / The Peace
• Evil Nine — Hired Goons
• Cake — Jolene

A wide-ranging episode about music culture, authenticity, and the ever-blurring line between organic success and manufactured virality.

In Episode 006, Hayden Quinn sits down with Australian pop producer and artist Lucy Blomkamp to talk about her journey through the modern electronic pop landscape.

Lucy has worked across production, songwriting and engineering for artists including 6lack, Cat & Calmell, Becca Hatch, Daine, Triple One, and Mallrat, while also releasing music under her own name and through projects like Cookii and her newer alias Perfectworld.

Hayden and Lucy also revisit the early days of her career — including when they first met in 2013 — and discuss how her sound evolved from experimental electronic production into the sleek, emotionally-driven electronic pop she’s known for today.

A conversation about artistic growth, collaboration, and building a career in modern pop production over the past decade.

Episode Summary

In Episode 005, Hayden Quinn sits down with Magoo — legendary producer and engineer behind some of Australia’s most iconic records.

They talk about Magoo’s expansive career working with Midnight Oil, Regurgitator, Jebediah, Powderfinger, Gerling, and Operator Please, exploring how he shaped their sounds in the studio and approached the art of production and engineering.

From navigating diverse genres to capturing performances that resonate across decades, Magoo shares stories from the mixing desk, creative philosophies, and what it’s like to bring great records to life. Hayden also realises he forgot to ask about his high school principal’s possible connection to Custard, so maybe that’s a cliffhanger for next time.

A deep-dive into the craft behind the hits and the insights of one of Australia’s most respected producers.
