Starlight Society is about discovering new music from all throughout time and all across the world. We want to expose you to bands and sounds you've never been introduced to, or may have only heard in passing somewhere it didn't even register. We will bring you tunes from languages we don't speak, countries we've never been to and try to expose to stuff that you may just have never heard. Music discovery is hard. Let us be your guide.

#4 - Madchester (Deep Dive)
This episode is the first of our "Deep Dive" series (every 4th show), where I take an in-depth look into a specific thing in music, be it genre, subgenre, musical movement, record label, etc. We cover the history of the thing, the players, some of the significant tracks/bands, where it came from, where it went, and what legacy it left behind. For our first show, we're looking into Madchester, a scene that mixed acid-house, disco funk and indie rock all into one heady cocktail. Here and gone in half a decade (1988-1993), it's a sound that flamed out before it could fade away. Time to drop some knowledge.
