In this podcast Richard Freeman has a conversation with Corin Douieb, AKA The Last Skeptik. They discuss the modern music industry and the rise of bedroom artists, musical cultural identity and whether the traditional concepts of scenes and fans are still relevant - and Corin’s openness about his challenges with mental health and how this shapes his writing and production. The Last Skeptik is a DJ, songwriter, producer, performer, podcast host and entrepreneur from London, who is fast becoming one of the UK’s most heralded urban artists. His critically acclaimed solo albums, EPs and remixes have resulted in collaborations or tours with Damon Albarn, Charli XCX, Wu Tang Clan, Dream McClean and Jordan Stephens amongst many others. The Last Skeptik’s music has been used on Adidas and Reebok adverts as well as a BAFTA nominated film and the BBC coverage of the 2012 London Olympics. His latest album, ‘This Is Where It Gets Good’, was released in September 2017 and is a frank exploration of obsessive behaviours, extreme anxiety and the death of a close friend - yet he describes the work as his most mature, hopeful and optimistic yet, moving away from his more youthful sarcasm of the past.
