Peak Time – Best of: The Black Lips, Mayer Hawthorne, John Talabot and Lena Willikens

We gather together some of our favorite interviews from the history of Peak Time. First up, it’s a riotous time with Cole Alexander and Jared Swilley of Atlanta garage rock mainstays Black Lips. We find out where they got the name of their newest record, *Satan’s Graffiti or God’s Art?* plus learn about their high school gang, church revivals and a whole lot more. Whilst on tour with Jake One as Tuxedo, funky soul vocalist Mayer Hawthorne joined us for a bubbly conversation about working with Snoop Dogg and Kendrick Lamar, missing Coney Dogs and what he’s been up to on tour. Flipping to the electronic side, we hear from Barcelona’s house and techno hero John Talabot of Hivern Discs, who spills the beans on his partner-in-crime Axel Boman and his production process, plus mood-altering DJ/producer Lena Willikens discusses birthing her style at Düsseldorf club Salon des Amateurs.
