Speaking about the second series, Dust tells Mixmag: "After months of planning, recording and editing, I'm really proud to be launching series two. I wanted to create space for more conversations about club culture from perspectives we don't usually hear and also to document stories of DJs who are really doing exciting things now."
“Each episode takes things in a different direction, whether that's DJ Target reflecting on what it was like to be at the birth of a new genre, or Tina Edwards deciding to leave her agency and do things DIY.”
Series one featured guest appearances from the likes of DJ Paulette, Jamz Supernova, Rosko, Bianca Oblivion, and Manuka Honey, discussing everything from how to find confidence after setbacks and gritty club experiences.
