I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee

In this episode, I talk to Dave Haslam about finding our identity, authenticity, constantly evolving to keep building our creativity, trying new things, dealing with rejection and criticism, the importance of nightlife on society and how a DJ can build relationships and bring people together on the dance floor.

Dave cut his cultural teeth as a DJ at the Hacienda and has since become one of THE great cultural and social authorities. Alongside his work as a researcher and presenter, he has written several top-class books, including ‘Life After Dark: A History of British Nightclubs & Music Venues’ – really an essential read and re-read given the direct and indirect attacks on nightlife culture – and a limited edition “Art Decades” series of really wonderful mini books covering his personal record collection, Courtney Love, Keith Haring and Sylvia Plath.

In this episode, I'm talking to TaSz Muerte about collaboration, learning from mistakes, being your own person, self care and the importance of trusting gut instinct in life.

TaSz is the founder of BLXPLTN, one of the most ferocious and important bands around. He is also a solo artist under the name of A BO1. He has the ability and adaptability to switch between visceral, tense, melodic electro-punk and dark, introspective love songs. His music challenges you to immerse yourself into his compelling stream of consciousness.

In this episode, I'm talking with Jennifer Finch about her stage anxiety, how she has taught herself to deal with anything that life throws at us, mindsets, working with emotions, developing new skills and ways of working and living, perceptions and allowing people to have their experiences.  This was such a wonderful, open conversation.


Jennifer is a legendary musical performer, whom we all know and love from her thrilling performances with L7.

She is also photographer, visual designer, computer science grad, publishing creative director and community builder.

She has always lived outside her comfort zone and lived her life the DIY way.

Inspiring the revolution.

In the second episode, I'm talking with Youth about the importance of simple things like declaring yourself an artist - or whatever you want to be - as the first step to adapting your mindset,  exploring things that are outside your comfort zone and his love for opening people's minds to new and exciting ideas.

Youth has seen and done it all.

From the sonic juggernaut of Killing Joke, to transformational producer to DJ, artist, dad, writer, story teller, festival curator and host, counter-culture arts lab and magazine chief collaborator, Youth is one of the most original, diverse and adaptable musical figures of our generation.

He is someone who has massively influenced my own mindset.

In my opening episode, I'm talking with the legendary Dave Barbarossa and we get into how the Sex Pistols' and BowWowWow manager, Malcolm McLaren, influenced his mindset about being unique, doing things differently and the power of individuality.

Dave emerged from the underground London punk rock scene, drumming on Adam and the Ants’ first album Dirk Wears White Sox, then moving on to form BowWowWow under the watch of Malcolm McLaren.

Since then, Dave has worked with artists such as Republica, Beats International and Roland Gift. Dave is also the author of Mudsharks, a powerful story of Harry Ferdinand growing up in 1970’s London and finding himself in the midst of the iconoclastic punk rock scene.

He is one of the most innovative, unique and respected drummers of my generation.
