Music Weekly podcast: Willy Mason on Obama and drum machines – plus Danny Rampling's Shoom relaunch

A word of warning before we go anywhere: discussing ASAP Rocky's new track in Singles Club inevitably involves a truckload of swearing. There are also tracks from Skream and the Drowners to be considered, and joining Alexis and Kieran is Rebecca Nicholson.

Willy Mason's third album, Carry On, is out this week – and he's been working with producer Dan Carey, who normally works with bands like Hot Chip and MIA. So, has the singer once hailed as the new Bob Dylan taken a sudden detour in to the nightclub? Laura Barton finds out.

Danny Rampling comes in to talk to Alexis, and by his own admission is "bricking himself" about reviving his legendary acid house Shoom, 25 years after he changed the face of London and perhaps British pop music.

Thanks for listening. Leave your thoughts below the line.
