Chris is the co-founder of the London based Drum & Bass label Hospital and therefore (along with his team) the power behind the Hospitality clubs and festivals. 

Like me he has a background in London record shops and clubland and his selection of tracks reflects that with a great range of Hip-Hop, Jazz, House, Disco and of course Drum & Bass. We discuss not only the music itself but the industry that makes it happen in this the last episode of this series.

Andy Copper is a MC, musician and producer who is best known to most as one third of the Hip-Hop group Ugly Duckling. 

This California native was kind enough to give me an hour of his time from the other side of the pond in early October 2020 and our discussion ranged everything from The Muppets, film and of course music in what turned out to be a really enjoyable chat with someone I had never met.

Danny Rankin while a DJ in his own right may be best known to many of you as Decoy from the brilliant BBC show ‘People Just Do Nothing’.

Kind enough to respond to a message through social media as we had never previously met he made time to choose a great Top 5 Records and to record this episode. A selection of UK and US Hip-Hop and dancehall gives you a good idea of what drives him on.
