Pod is a DJ

Welcome to this years final episode, I honestly didn't expect the reaction & following it has received, so thank you very much for taking the time to listen & I hope you're enjoyed them enough to return when I start up again in 2022.

Apologies for the sound issue on this one but I had a dodgy lead on the day so could only use one mic & my voice is very quiet in parts, but luckily Terry comes across loud & clear which is the main thing & you get the gist.

Hi, welcome to episode #8 with Clive Henry & it's a deep interesting & very frank chat around his life & career including making music as part of Peace Division & how he ended up being resident for one of the most influential nights of the last 20 years.

Clive is a very private man & rarely does interviews but was generous enough to give me his time back in October where we met close to Mile End tube station & took in a fantastic view across London with Canary Wharf in the distance (photos on the Pod is a DJ Instagram soon).

Hi, welcome to #7 with Darren Rock, I really hope you listen to this as personally I think it's a great one & one of my favourite so far.

Firstly Darren is as lovely as you would expect but his prolific career & the stories around it are so interesting, lots of fun & laughs plus a few exclusives in here, well worth the time if you have it spare.

He's a fantastic supporter of the podcast & I hope you will support him if you see him playing out as himself or with Diesel as X-Press2 in the future.

Welcome back & it's a big one, well a big one in my little world of podcasts.

I'm sure most of you will be familiar with Fergie, but if you're not he has had an amazing career starting as a teenager in Northern Ireland, through residencies at Trade & Gods Kitchen amongst others, winning DJ awards still in his teens, his own show on Radio 1 & for the last 5+ years a residency in Vegas, there are not many DJ's in the world who can say that.

You will also be pleased to know that he's lovely, no pretension, an infectious laugh & more energy in one hour that most people have in one day.  He is very open & honest on this & I loved spending time with him & am looking forward to meeting him for part 2 sometime in the future.

Also check out his latest tunes including 'Level Up' which is a banger & currently sat in the Beatport charts:

Welcome to episode #5 with Jon Carter.

What is there to say about Jon that hasn't been already, a prolific producer & DJ, his hands/ears are behind some amazing tracks over the years & part of so many nights/events during his career that had real impact on the dance music/club scene, from The  Social to Manumission to Bugged Out & beyond.

This is a very frank chat with him about all sorts of things from his career, his personal life & also some of the negatives that come along with it. 

I had a great time, he was a great host & I hope to return one day to continue as we only really got to the end of the 90's & there's far more to tell.

Welcome to episode #4 with Justin Robertsons.

Without doubt one of the key shapers of dance music over the years, he's worked with so many artists from a remix perspective (Google it) plus contributed his own unique sound to the world as well as being  an influence on so many other DJ/artists from bedroom DJ's to The Chemical Brothers & others,  he was great to sit down with as I laughed (a lot) & got to stroke 2 lovely dogs, what's not to love.

If you would like to pre order or buy (if you are reading this after Nov 2021) Justins first novel 'The Tangle' then you can find it here + links to all good book sellers:

I have learnt a lot over the last week or so re tech & recording etc, so hopefully this one will sound better than #1, especially as it was recorded on a fantastic floating podcast studio in London (www.theboatpod.com), highly recommended if you are making one. 

This week I'm chatting to Guy Williams, who some of you might not know of, he's had a varied & interesting career in the music industry & been involved in lots over the years, so here's an opportunity to learn all about him & then hopefully you will take the time to see him play out as his parties/sets are always great fun & will put a smile on your face. 

*Note, not as much swearing as last week + some recreational substance references so keep away from children.

Welcome to the first of hopefully many Podcasts where I meet & chat to DJ's around the globe about their lives, careers & general dance music & club culture. 

This first episode is with industry legend & The Dub Pistols main man Barry Ashworth, I hope you enjoy it & if you do then please subscribe/follow.
