Welcome back to What Goes Around! This is the dance music special and we have the Crowd Controller himself DJ Billy 'Daniel' Bunter, if you are not familiar with this Rave legend then you really need to understand what a stalwart of the Rave scene he is. Daniel started his DJ career at the tender age of 14 playing the headline set at one of Londons most infamous clubs Labyrinth/2000AD at The 4 Aces in Dalston. Daniel grew up in the DJ booth watching the Rave scene evolve through many, many changes in style, mood and professionalism. It is estimated he has played to hundreds of thousands of people over the last 30+ years and remains a real force for positivity all these years later. So much so Daniel has founded a mental health charity to help those who are struggling in these difficult times. He has an incredible story to tell and we are delighted to have him on the show.

We are also delighted to welcome Emma Warren to the show, a hugely experienced writer on music culture Emma has now written one of the finest books on music and dancing we have ever read, 'Dance you way home: A journey through the dance floor' is a transformative tome on dance music culture which serves the initiated and those that find dance culture baffling equally well. IF you have never got the dance bug this book will explain why it affects people so powerfully and if you have loved the clubbing life for years you will discover a beautiful love letter to the culture. It really is that good and Emma is delightful company.

Plus Deb and Eamon are back discussing how the story of rave has been twisted and focused in many misleading ways, thankfully Eamon has found a missing piece of the puzzle in the form of an audio series that tells the Rave story from the perspective of the Midlands.
