LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy appeared on BBC Radio 1 with Annie Mac to play some tunes and chat.
They discuss how DJing is better when the DJ isn’t the focus (as Despacio does), how he was supposed to co-produce Bowie with Tony Visconti but “got overwhelmed”, how he had an email friendship with David Bowie and how he had planned to do a dancefloor edit of one of his songs but never got around to it before Bowie passed.
Here are the tunes he plays:
