Soulwax, Jurassic 5's Cut Chemist & Chali 2na, and more Star Wars

We start with Soulwax, AKA 2ManyDJs, AKA David and Stephen Dewaele; then it's hip hop royalty in the form of Cut Chemist & Chali 2na; before film review legend Chris Hewitt.

We start with Soulwax, AKA 2ManyDJs, AKA David and Stephen Dewaele. The brothers talk about early musical influences and growing up with a radio presenter for a dad; running record label DEEWEE; their 60,000 Watt Despacio Soundsystem (with James Murphy); and how they definitely didn't split up LCD Soundsystem.

Jurassic 5's Chali 2na makes a welcome return to the Live Room with his long-time friend and collaborator Cut Chemist. They remember meeting at a Silver Lake recreation park, back in 1987 when Cut thought Chali looked like "Grandmaster Caz from Wild Style." When Cut was putting together his new album, Die Cut, Chali was at the top of his list of "cool people" that he'd met over the years because he loves the way his deep baritone voice cuts through electronics.

Empire magazine's Chris Hewitt has news of another Leonardo DiCaprio biopic (this time he鈥檒l be playing US President Ulysses S. Grant) and a Lord of the Rings TV show. Then he lists Star Wars films in order of preference, before delivering his review of the latest installment Solo. And we finally hear what he thinks of Deadpool 2.
