Show notes

Sophie Lloyd is a DJ who is a specialist in the happiest of house music. With over 15 years experience behind the decks and a few club hits to her name as well, Sophie has played everywhere from the main stages of festivals in Europe to the toilets at Glitterbox in Ibiza. Growing up listening to pirate radio from a young age and then living in Brighton during the Big Beat Boutique era, Sophie was exposed to many different genres of music that influenced her own productions once she decided to pick up some headphones as a professional. We chat about all of this as well as what it feels like when one of your own tracks gets signed to a label of huge influence and when one of your idols drops a remix of it.

After sitting down with Danny Clockwork from Clockwork Orange in our first episode, we come full circle in the final episode in this first series with a sit down with his partner in parties - Andy Manston. After discovering early Hip-Hop and Belgian New Beat, Andy quickly got the mixing bug and was a successful DJ in his own right before he hooked up with Danny to create the iconic Clockwork Orange brand. Having also enjoyed chart success through his Perpetual Motion project (with producing partner Julian Napolitano) Andy chats about how he first got started in the scene, his highs and lows within it and the triumphant return of Clockwork Orange to the dancefloors of the world.

009: Terry Farley Oct 01, 2019

Show notes

Terry Farley is one of the founding fathers of the UK House music scene. Growing up as a Soulboy in West London and Slough in the 70s, Terry always had a passion for music and youth culture. Pouring this knowledge into early editions of the Boy's Own fanzine he ran, Terry found himself in possession of the perfect platform to commentate on the Acid House scene when this first blew up in 1988 and further expanded the brand across a record label as well as a series of legendary parties. Whether it's from behind the decks or from inside the studio, Terry has always been at the forefront of the many changes within the scene and in this episode is happy to discuss his long and varied career.

008: Nick Muir Sep 17, 2019

Show notes

Nick Muir is a titan of the Progressive House genre and is one half of Bedrock (alongside John Digweed). Classically trained from a young age, Nick played in a variety of bands as well as featured as a session musician for many well known artists before he discovered dance music. Already tinkering in the studio with the early sequencer technology of the era, Nick was in the right place at the right time to hook up with John Digweed and create some of the defining music of the Progressive House scene - an ability that continues to this day. In this episode we chat about all of the above as well as what it's like to have your music featured in an iconic 90s film, the differences between being a DJ and a producer, and the key to maintaining one of the most prolific partnerships in dance music.

007: Greg Wilson Sep 03, 2019

Show notes

Greg Wilson is an absolute legend on the DJ scene. The first person to mix two records together live on television, as well as the person that introduced Electro to the UK, he has been a DJ and record collector since his school days. Building his reputation as a seamless mixer at clubs in the North of the UK in the late 70's and early 80's, Greg even landed himself a residency at a pre-Acid House era Hacienda. Hanging up his headphones at the height of his fame aged 23, Greg made the most triumphant of DJ comebacks in 2003 and has been touring the world playing his eclectic blend of funky beats to club and festival crowds ever since. Just like one of his sets, this is an epic one, but totally worth the journey.
