A badass producer / DJ. Hundreds of millions of streams. Main stage Tomorrowland appearances all over the place. And most importantly, a really nice dude (he was even a teacher)!

On this show Yves digs into his journey from playing in small bars, thru to putting on his own parties, and then ending up touring the world and playing some of the most iconic stages on the planet. Full of insights that will hopefully re-assure you that not everything happens overnight, this is Yves V.

As one of our most listened to episodes, we thought it was only right to bring Jess Iszatt back for a 2025 chinwag.

Still smashing it as host of BBC Introducing London, playing epic DJ sets all over the shop, plus interviewing your fav artists, but since we last spoke she is now host of BBC Introducing on BBC Radio 1 - arguably the most important new artist show in the country.

So, probs worth listening to her advice for 30 mins we reckon. 👀

Non-stop DNB bangers. World tours. And responsible for one of our personal favourite records of the year.
On this show we speak to Ben - one half of Delta Heavy - about everything from responding to all (well close) comments and DM’s, through to the straight up importance of just being… nice. Oh, and potentially the best butterfly effect story we’ve had in 108 episodes.
