in 2014, aqua was invited by resident advisor to create a podcast to accompany an article written by adam harper entitled "the online underground: a new kind of punk?" the podcast (ra.434) was met with much criticism from conservative ra readers, mostly based on aqua's open support of controversial label pc music and artists such as a. g. cook and sophie. ra described aqua as embodying "the online underground's attitude and approach". the podcast was chosen by fact magazine as their "mix of the week", calling it "a creative, enjoyable blend of...boundary-free dance oddness".
