In this episode of INSIGHTS, we are joined by someone that we’ve been wanting to get on the show since her incredible debut album ‘Lux’ that came out in 2021 on podcast favourite label AD 93. London-based interdisciplinary artist, Venus Ex Machina’s music sits on that beautiful line between rich, organic composition and toughened, analogue techno, inspired by mathematics, machines and meaning. Having just recently dropped the spellbinding follow up, ‘Doxa’, in November last year, we couldn't wait to hear her story and learn about her process.

Nonto's answers are as rich and detailed as her music, spanning history, language, philosophy, psychology, mechanics, mysticism and lots more. Sit back and enjoy this fascinating interview with one of underground electronic music's most exciting artists.

We will be giving away a copy of both 'Lux' and 'Doxa' on vinyl - Head over to www.instagram.com/awake.allhours/ for details.

Clips of 'Zeus and Metis' and 'Crush' from the album 'Doxa' on AD 93 are used at the beginning and end of this podcast.
