That Titan AE Chat | From Don Bluth to Cosmic Castaway
In this special 25th Anniversary episode, we celebrate Titan A.E., the cult sci-fi animated classic—and Electrasy’s unforgettable contribution to its soundtrack. The film marked a bold moment in animated cinema, and our track “Cosmic Castaway” became an anthem for outsiders and dreamers alike. To honour its silver anniversary, we’ve opened the vaults to share something truly special: the never-before-heard demo of the song, raw and unfiltered. We also play the original track as featured in the movie, and reveal our brand new 2025 re-recording—remastered, reimagined, and released just in time for the birthday celebrations. Join us as we look back on the song’s origins, what it meant to the band, and why this strange, brilliant film still resonates. It’s a journey through time, space, and sound—with a few laughs and behind-the-scenes memories along the way. For fans old and new—this one’s for you. 🔔 Subscribe for more rare shares! 💬 Leave a comment if you like this song. 🎸 Follow Electrasy:  @electrasymusic on all socialswww.electrasy.online #Electrasy #90sMusic #rockandroll #rockmusic #electrasy #GarageBand #MusicIndustry #PodcastLife #MusicPodcast #BandStories #RockAndRollHistory #BehindTheMusic #IndieMusic #StudioVsGarage #MusicIndustryInsider #AlbumRecording #LostTapes #ThrowbackTracks #BritRock #90sMusic #UnsignedAndUnfiltered #MakingAnAlbum #Songwriting #MadStories #Vlog #PodCast #PodLife

That 'Drumming' Chat | This Episode Bangs (Literally)
Grab your sticks and brace your ears — this week we’re sitting down with the rhythm machine himself, Christopher ‘Padge’ Page, Electrasy’s very own drumming demigod. From his early days tapping out Latin-inspired grooves on his nan’s kitchen table to smashing it on stage with one of Britpop’s most unexpectedly explosive comebacks, Padge brings the beat and the banter. We dive into the wild world of drumming, explore how his percussive roots are steeped in salsa, samba, and sheer sweat, and find out what really gets it banging (spoiler: it involves timing, tequila, and occasionally tearing through a drum skin mid-gig). Expect laughs, unexpected influences, and more rhythmic energy than a caffeine-fuelled conga line. Let’s face it — if your drummer’s not part philosopher, part chaos engine, and 100% legend, are you even in a band? 🔔 Subscribe for more rare shares! 💬 Leave a comment if you like this song. 🎸 Follow Electrasy:  @electrasymusic on all socialswww.electrasy.online #Electrasy #90sMusic #rockandroll #rockmusic #electrasy #GarageBand #MusicIndustry #PodcastLife #MusicPodcast #BandStories #RockAndRollHistory #BehindTheMusic #IndieMusic #StudioVsGarage #MusicIndustryInsider #AlbumRecording #LostTapes #ThrowbackTracks #BritRock #90sMusic #UnsignedAndUnfiltered #MakingAnAlbum #Songwriting #MadStories #PodCast #Vlog

That 'Sp*ify' Chat | The Streaming Industry EXPOSED w/ Tom Austin-Morgan
In this explosive episode, we dive headfirst into the murky waters of the music streaming economy—and it gets heated. 💥 With over 602 million monthly active users and 236 million premium subscribers, Spotify dominates the global music landscape. But is it good for musicians? We’re joined by Tom Austin-Morgan—musician, journalist, and industry insider—for a no-holds-barred conversation about how the Spotify bonus model and pro-rata payout system are failing the very artists who fuel the platform. 🎶 Did you know artists need 250+ streams just to earn $1? Or that 80% of streams go to the top 1% of artists, leaving everyone else fighting over scraps? This episode breaks down how the economics are stacked against bands, why algorithmic gatekeeping matters, and how labels and DSPs may be profiting at the expense of creativity. We don’t hold back. Expect strong opinions, real data, and a few uncomfortable truths. 🔔 Subscribe for more rare shares and deep-dives! 💬 Let us know your thoughts in the comments—Is streaming broken beyond repair? 🎸 Follow Electrasy:  @electrasymusic on all socialswww.electrasy.online #Spotify #StreamingEconomy #MusicIndustry #TomAustinMorgan #IndependentArtists #BandLife #MusicDebate #SpotifyBonusModel #MusicStreaming #BehindTheMusic #IndieMusic #StudioVsGarage #MusicIndustryInsider #AlbumRecording #LostTapes #ThrowbackTracks #BritRock #90sMusic #UnsignedAndUnfiltered #MakingAnAlbum #Songwriting #MadStories #PodCast #Vlog

That 'MK1' Chat | Before the Beautiful Insanity
In this special episode of the Electrasy Podcast, we crack open the vault and revisit the lost gems of our MK1 album—a collection of tracks that played a pivotal role in getting us signed to Universal Music. These raw, electric demos, produced by the brilliant Jon Sweet, were the sonic blueprint of our early identity—songs brimming with Britpop swagger and heart. Many were never officially released, and for years they existed only as echoes from our past. But while writing Calling All The Dreamers, we dusted them off, reclaimed them, and remembered what made them so special. Join us as we listen to each track, reflect on how they came to life, and discuss the contrast between these original versions and the reimagined takes by Robin Millar on the Beautiful Insane album. It’s a bittersweet journey—one of missed chances and musical redemption—with the happy twist that these songs are finally out in the world, exactly as they were first dreamed. 🔔 Subscribe for more rare shares! 💬 Leave a comment if you like this song. 🎸 Follow Electrasy: @electrasymusic on all socials www.electrasy.online #Electrasy #90sMusic #rockandroll #rockmusic #electrasy #GarageBand #MusicIndustry #PodcastLife #MusicPodcast #BandStories #RockAndRollHistory #BehindTheMusic #IndieMusic #StudioVsGarage #MusicIndustryInsider #AlbumRecording #LostTapes #ThrowbackTracks #BritRock #90sMusic #UnsignedAndUnfiltered #MakingAnAlbum #Songwriting #MadStories #Vlog #PodCast #PodLife

That ‘Man What Writes The Sing-Songs’ Chat | Nigel Nisbet on Songwriting, Madness & Musical Mayhem
This episode, we sit down with the little Nigel Nisbet the lyrics and riff machine in Electrasy. From the band's biggest anthems to the deep cuts that never made it past a dodgy four-track recorder, we dive into the real process of songwriting: inspiration, frustration, and the occasional bout of creative madness. Nigel spills the secrets behind some of Electrasy’s most iconic tracks, how a random jam session turned into a hit, and why some of their best ideas arrived at 3am in a haze of sleep deprivation and questionable life choices rather than by design. Expect wild stories from the studio, debates on which tracks aged like fine wine (or sour milk), and enough musical wisdom to make even your nan want to pick up a guitar. Plus, a few unexpected detours into the band’s more ridiculous moments—because no Electrasy story is complete without a bit of chaos.
