Backstage Soundtrack

Ever wondered what songs your favorite artists actually have on repeat? Backstage Soundtrack pulls back the curtain for exactly that. Host Tom, better known as the DJ behind Hot Dub Time Machine, sits down with brilliant Australian musicians in those quiet moments before or after a show, turning casual chats into deep dives about the music that shaped them. This isn't a formal interview about their latest album cycle. Instead, you'll hear artists open up about the tracks they're genuinely obsessed with-the forgotten B-sides, the guilty pleasures, the anthems that defined their teenage years. Each conversation becomes a personal journey through sound, revealing the hidden influences and personal stories behind the music you already love. By focusing on the songs they love rather than their own work, the podcast creates a uniquely authentic and relaxed atmosphere. It feels like you're eavesdropping on two friends geeking out over a shared passion, which makes for a refreshingly intimate listening experience. Tuning in is a guaranteed way to expand your own playlists with unexpected gems and gain a new appreciation for the artists themselves. If you've ever wanted to know the soundtrack to a musician's life, this is where you find it.
