Somehow this is the first time we’ve ever had the Irish musician David Kitt on the Nialler9 Podcast in its seven years on the go.
Episode 275 is an interview with Kittser about his electronic project New Jackson. It may have felt like a side project when it debuted with The Night Mail EP in 2011, but over the last 14 years, the New Jackson releases have been so consistent across a multitude of EPs on Permanent Vacation, Hivern, All City, Maeve and more, with last year’s second album Oops!… Pop softened the lines into a more techno pop songwriting style.
Ahead of the New Jackson live show in Dublin on Friday March 28th with support from Rory Sweeney and The Outside, his forthcoming album project with Efa O’Neill, we talk that collaboration, his new release as MMOTTORR with TR One , what he’s learned from 30 years of DJing, living in Kerry, Spotify and Bandcamp discourse, and bucking the zeitgeist trends in dance music in 2025.
David also picks some key influential New Jackson tracks from Joy Orbison, Wham!, Pépé Bradock, Carl Craig and The Egyptian Lover.
