Denney on Back To Basics, Hot Creations & Ibiza's Underground Scene
In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with DJ and producer Denney (James Denney) to explore the journey behind a career that has taken him from the early days of UK club culture to some of the most respected underground dance floors in the world.
From his beginnings playing at Sugar Shack, through the legendary Back To Basics nights in Leeds, to releasing music on Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations, Denney shares the story of how he built a life in dance music.
This is a brilliant conversation about the evolution of the underground scene, the reality of becoming a DJ, and what it really takes to sustain a career in dance music.

• Denney’s early days discovering dance music
• Playing at Sugar Shack and learning to DJ

• The journey to releasing music on Hot Creations
