Mr C has been in the music industry since the ‘80s.  Starting out by handing out flyers for a friend’s party, he went on to become one of the best known faces of the ‘90s dance acts as the frontman for The Shamen.

He created his own brand, Superfreq as both a club night and record label.  Having held residencies in London and Ibiza, the night still runs regularly in the UK and USA.

Danny talks to Mr C about the journey through his musical career, his opinion about music genres (especially tech house!) and how he became established as a mindfulness and meditation professional in LA.

David Jackson, aka Digital Mafia about how he went from an avid listener of a Yorkshire based pirate radio station to being a DJ on it and eventually part of the management team running it.

Leeds based Frequency FM was one of the country’s biggest pirate stations outside of London, running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Due to its popularity and good business management, it was able to bring in revenue through selling advertising to local small businesses.

Primarily a drum and bass station, it helped to launch the careers of many of the scene’s rising stars, one of whom being Alex Simmons who has since gone on to be a TV and radio sports presenter, best known for his appearances on Rugby FM.

Digital Mafia talks about the Ofcom approved FM station he’s about to launch, and Danny reflects on his own radio show appearances, (not with Legion of Doom).

•   Setting up a pirate radio station, equipment needed, the cost and upkeep.
    
•  The benefits of doing your own radio show.
    
•  How to get a show on the right station for your style.
    
•  Opportunities for career progression in the music industry.
