Johann Wald takes the reins of Line Noise for a one-off special looking forward to the release of Daft Punk's Discovery - The Future Unfurled by Line Noise's own Ben Cardew. Ben outlines why Discovery is the most important album of the last 20 years and explains his outlandish theory about Daft Punk's second album being deliberately flawed, while Johann looks back to early 2000s Madrid.

In a bonus from Line Noise's recent Trip City episode, we present the full interview with UK electronic music legend A Guy Called Gerald. Includes a fabulous anecdote about how he re-programmed his entire live set one hour before a gig and basically invented jungle.

This month's Line Noise is a special double edition around the release of Trip City, a novel by Trevor Miller, first released in 1989, and now being re-released by Velocity Press. Trip City is not just a brilliant novel in itself, it also comes with a five-track EP by A Guy Called Gerald, one of the most important producers in British dance music history. For this special edition of Line Noise, Ben Cardew talked to Gerald, asking him about acid house, jungle and everything in between; and Trevor Miller, the book’s author, about creating the ultra vivid world of Trip City. There will be an extra Line Noise coming soon with the Guy Called Gerald interview in full.

Harold Heath's recent book, Long Relationships: My Incredible Journey From Unknown DJ to Small-time DJ, will tug at the heard strings and tickle the funny bone of anyone who has ever set foot on a dance floor. Ben Cardew interviewed the DJ / producer turned writer to talk the ridiculousness of rave, the tech house identity crisis, ghost producers and the spectre of "downloaded for Richie Hawtin".

Ben Cardew meets producer and DJ Paul Woolford aka Special Request to talk number one hits in Ireland, meditation and the importance of taking the piss.

Murcof, aka Fernando Corona, has produced a genuinely dazzling array of music since his recorded debut in 2002, from glitchy techno to a collaboration with French classical pianist Vanessa Wagner. His latest album, The Alias Sessions, is one of his most ambitious to date, born out of a collaboration with choreographer Guilherme Botelho. Ben Cardew talks to him about Jean-Michel Jarre, Tijuana, pre‐1900 classical music and scaring the living hell out of the listener on 2008's Versailles Sessions.
