Fish Go Deep is the pseudonym for Greg Dowling and Shane Johnson - their reputation in their hometown of Cork is already legendary - as long term residents in the cities Sir henrys nightclub. They transformed what was a largely rock venue into a citadel of modern electronic music, with a residency that lasted well over 10 years and cemented their reputation of two of the best DJs Ireland has ever produced. We chat about Corks varied musical history, the twisted tale of the cure on the cause and their studio working methods. Tune in! 

Ruby Savage joins us on the DJHistory podcast - Amsterdam-raised selector, broadcaster and one of the most thoughtful voices in modern club culture.

She reflects on growing up in the Dutch capital, where open-ended nights and eclectic radio shaped her musical instincts early on, and traces the path from those formative dancefloors to becoming a respected presence behind the decks and on the airwaves. We also discuss her Don’t Be A Creep initiative - a grassroots push to challenge behaviour in nightlife and protect the spaces that club culture depends on - alongside a wider conversation on independence, responsibility, and what it means to contribute something lasting to the culture.

Having shamelessly befriended Jamz Supernova a few weeks back, we managed to coax her into the DJH studio with the promise of a season ticket to watch Grimsby Town. We chatted about her rise through the radio ranks from local station in Sydenham to the BBC, where she has presented shows for ten years. Have listen, this is a woman with a mission and purpose.

In an industry that venerates youth, it’s remarkable achievement to be still going in your 40s, yet Greg Wilson is so close to his retirement pot, he can smell it from here. He began spinning in 1975 as a 15-year-old teenager, went on to win residencies at the Haçienda and, more importantly, Legend in Manchester.

Neil Rushton has enjoyed a lifetime of activity in dance music, from his discovery of northern soul to becoming a DJ and promoter. He's owned a bunch of record labels over the years, including Network, the label that turned Altern-8 into pop stars. He was also instrumental in the naming of a genre: techno. He explains how the seminal compilation, 1988's Techno! The New Dance Sound Of Detroit came about. 

Artwork – aka Arthur Smith – was there at the birth of dubstep, guiding it into the limelight via the quasi pop stars Magnetic Man and out of the other side. There are few producers or DJs as versatile as this dance music polymath. We map his adventures with the likes of Skream, Benga and Danny Harrison from Big Apple in Croydon to the actual Big Apple, New York. 

Singer, songwriter, producer, DJ, world itinerant, Megatronic wears a number of hats, which is handy cos in this weather she might need one. We chatted to her about living in Dubai, growing up in London, her love for PJ Harvey and how she pivoted from musician to DJ after the tragic death of a band member in her group Black Cherry.

After a couple of mini disasters, for this month's podcast, we dipped into the archives and exhumed an interview we did during the pandemic with Norman Cook, which has never been seen or heard before. Norman talks about playing the stooge on Tik Tok, his fascination with Suzi Quatro's all-in-one leather outfit, being played on the Rovers Return jukebox, pole dancing dancing with Sheryl Crow and having a dildo named after him. Oh and how to make a hit record.

Abigail Ward caused a stir two years ago with her brilliant debut single, I Miss Your Love. Her uncompromising approach to music-making and DJing is expressed brilliantly in this discussion which covers her path to creativity, working in a record store, and her current disillusionment with the torpor of today's dancefloors.

Sean Johnston's name may not necessarily be one that trips off the tongue so readily, but as one half of A Love From Outer space, he's most definitely in the frame. Sadly we lost his partner Andrew Weatherall almost exactly five years ago, but we talk to Sean about his early life in the farmlands of Yorkshire, early forays to the fleshpots of Driffield and Hull, before seeking fame, fortune and Balearic rarities in London. He also has a long overdue compilation out now, which you can buy here.
