Welcome to Episode 5 of Why We D&B with the incredible Charlotte Haining!

Charlotte is a powerhouse vocalist and songwriter, with a voice and pen behind some truly beautiful moments in drum & bass/dance music. Whether she’s writing for herself, collaborating with other artists or stepping behind the mic, there’s one thing that comes across VERY clearly - she is completely dedicated to her craft and pours her heart and soul into her work.

In Episode 5, Laurie sits down with Charlotte to talk about the projects she’s most proud of, the graft behind building a career in music, what it's like songwriting for other artists and what continues to drive her creatively. They also dive into becoming a mum while working in music and how family has given her a whole new kind of motivation.

A gorgeous, wholesome conversation about music, ambition, family, backing yourself and being really bloody proud of what you’ve built.

Welcome to episode 4 of Why We D&B with the amazing Danny Byrd!

As one of Hospital Records’ earliest signings, Danny has spent nearly three whole decades bringing pure joy, soul and rave energy into drum & bass. From Supersized and Rave Digger to bona fide anthems like Ill Behaviour, his music has soundtracked a lot of very happy dance floors - and all these years later, he continues to pour so much into the scene.

In Episode 4, Laurie sits down with Danny to go right back to the beginning, discussing everything from Danny wanting to be on the inside of the scene he loved so much, the feeling of being part of something, the moments that pushed him to up his game and so much more.
