Strut’s Quinton Scott talks to producer, drummer and Heliocentrics co-bandleader Malcolm Catto, taking a journey through the incredible music made at his analogue HQ, Quatermass Studio. From legends like Orlando Julius, Mulatu Astatke, The Pyramids and Melvin Van Peebles to Yussef Kamal, Vanishing Twin and Hannah Williams, Malcolm has added his unique production stamp, warmth and hazy psychedelics to dozens of essential records. Some great stories from one of the UK’s finest studio craftsman. Show produced by Peter Dennett of Art Yard.
