THIS IS CLIQUES.

In this episode, I’m joined by Phil aka Specimen A and Ivory as they step into a new chapter together. We go deep into their journey through the breaks and underground scene, how their collaboration came about, and the process and reasons for their new incredible album Girls Money Drink and Drugs. We also talk about launching Knuckle Duster Records, what it means to take ownership, and the realities of creating something on your own terms. Honest, raw and most importantly real, this one is about music, identity and building without compromise. 

In this episode, we are joined by High Rankin, a DJ, producer and plugin creator who is notorious in drum and bass and dubstep for creating some of the funniest and most memorable tracks and videos the scene has ever seen. He is an artist who has gone viral multiple times, toured the world, and lived the full reality of being a full time dance music artist. We talk through his career, unforgettable and wild moments, questionable business ideas, choreographed dancing DJs, hiding in cupboards, if Cilla Black is still alive and plenty more. We were really looking forward to recording this episode, and it delivered on every level.

In this episode, I’m joined by Fatty from PENGSHUi a band blending heavy metal, bass music and grime into music and live shows that make them one of the most exciting acts in the UK right now. We talk origins, how some of their biggest tracks were created, building energy for the live show, remixing The Prodigy twice, and what it takes to make it when you do not fit neatly into any scene. Raw, funny, and properly real, if you care about artists who still take risks and show the world who they truly are, this episode is for you!

Quick check in from me, talking through what I’ve learnt so far from the podcast, what’s coming next, and why it’s never been more important or urgent to double down on whatever you’re feeling creatively. Thank you again to everyone who listens, shares, and reaches out. Lots more to come in 2026........

In this episode, I’m joined by someone whose fingerprints are all over modern drum and bass production. A producer, DJ, sound designer, educator, and one third of Killer Hertz, Erb N Dub has been pushing the boundaries of the scene for years. From punchy, high impact drums to some of the most recognisable sample packs in electronic music, his work has shaped how a generation of producers make tunes. Through this conversation we cover so much good stuff, including his huge career journey, TikTok dancing, AI platforms, equipment failing in front of 30,000 people, drumming, chickens, and everything in between.

In this very special episode, I’m joined by an actor whose presence on screen and stage has made him one of the most distinctive faces in British film and television. Jamie Kenna has played leading roles in Peaky Blinders, Brassic, House of the Dragon, Coronation Street, and films like Green Street and Stormbreaker. In this conversation we go deep on the roles, the person behind the performances, and the moments that shaped the man he is today. A truly inspiring man, what an honour to have him on. 

In this episode I sit down with dance music legend Brandon Block, a name synonymous with the golden era of Ibiza, the rise of UK club culture, and one of the most remarkable comeback stories in electronic music. Brandon’s journey is one of transformation. From his wild days as one of the most notorious party animals of the 90's to battling addiction and rebuilding his life, he’s now using his experiences to help others as a life coach and mental health advocate. In this conversation we talk about the highs and low, the energy of the 90s rave scene, the pressures that come with fame, and the turning point that changed everything. Brandon shares how self awareness, purpose, and compassion helped him find true balance, and what drives him today beyond the music. 

In this episode and World Mental Health Day special, I’m joined by someone whose work is all about unlocking creative potential and helping artists discover their true voice. Liz W is a coach, guide, collaborator and deeply perceptive communicator who’s spent years supporting musicians, artists and creatives to express themselves with authenticity and confidence. With a rich background spanning the music industry, life coaching and sound therapy, she brings a rare blend of practical industry experience and deep human understanding. What strikes me about Liz’s approach is that it’s never just about technique or performance. It’s about helping people get to the root of who they are, what they want to say, and how to show up fully in their art and in their lives. In this conversation, we’re go deep into the real work: communication, vulnerability, creativity, mindset, embodiment, the hidden challenges artists face, and why it all matters. This episode is for anyone who wants to make meaningful work, push themselves creatively, and feel truly inspired to be their authentic selves

In this episode I'm joined by a legend whose name is stamped into the foundations of jungle and drum & bass. DJ Hype is one of the true originals a DJ, producer, label boss, and tastemaker who helped shape not just the sound, but the attitude of the culture. From pirate radio and sound clashes to dancefloor anthems, he’s always brought razor sharp skill, uncompromising energy, and a deep connection to the roots of what makes this music what is it is. For me personally, he was also the very first dj I ever saw in a rave all the way back at Dreamscape 12 so this is a very special episode for me and we go deep on music, family, life and everything in between 

In this episode, I sit down with two absolute legends of the jungle and drum and bass scene  Brockie & Det. Its no exaggeration to say this is a DJ & MC duo who helped shape the sound and spirit of an entire culture and this conversation goes far beyond the usual history. We explore their foundations in pirate radio, the raw energy of early raves, their unique chemistry on stage, the dark side that came with jungle in terms of gangs and guns and what it really takes to build longevity in such a demanding scene. From discipline and personal growth to the evolution of Djing and MCing, this was a wicked conversation with two artists that truly deserve their legendary status
