UK-based producer and DJ Lloyd Barwood joins the Super Progressive podcast for an in-depth conversation about one of the most exciting rises in the progressive house scene right now. Fresh off landing the number one spot on Beatport with "Nothing Like It Was" [0:11], released on Sasha's Last Night on Earth label, Lloyd opens up about the journey behind the track, how it was written specifically for a set where he handed the decks over to Sasha [1:23], and how it ultimately became one of the most-played tracks in Sasha's sets over the past six months [2:12].Lloyd shares the inspiring reality that his number one hit was made in his spare bedroom [3:55]. He reflects on the surreal experience of going back to back with his all-time favorite DJ, Sasha, for the very first time [28:53], and describes the unforgettable moment at Balance Croatia 2026 when Hernan Cattaneo walked out of a meet and greet mid-set just to come say hello and raise his hand to the crowd [10:12].The conversation also dives into the creative advice Sasha gave Lloyd about locking into his signature sound [26:09], the pressures of balancing a full-time day job with a rapidly accelerating music career [14:45], and the tight-knit crew of friends and family who travel with him every step of the way [32:54].Videographer David Lovas also joins the episode to share behind-the-scenes stories about filming some of the most memorable clips of Lloyd's music being played by the world's top DJs, including a standout continuous clip of Anthony Pappa and Dave Seaman dropping the Lloyd and Medway collaboration at Balance [21:57].Looking ahead, Lloyd discusses his signing to the Analog agency, upcoming releases on Selador, and his ultimate goal of going full-time as an artist [37:42].

DJ Ace returns for Part 2 of his Skipping Class conversation with The Progress Report, continuing his stories from decades of firsthand experience in Atlanta and Southern hip-hop. In this episode, Ace reflects on the lives, careers and legacies of Shawty Lo, Bigga Rankin, Alley Boy, Trouble, Bankroll Fresh, Young Capone, Rich Homie Quan, Lil Keed and T-Hood, sharing personal memories, lessons and stories from his relationships with many of them. He also speaks on knowing Kirk and Rasheeda, his history coming up around Kizzy Rock, and why DJs still have to create their own lane, master the microphone and stay passionate about the culture. On the lighter side, DJ Ace talks about constantly being mistaken for Yung Joc, while also getting comparisons to Jadakiss and Jeezy — and explains why people say he sounds like Gucci Mane.
Hello Groovers, This week's Liquid Sunshine takes you through my personal listening collection—the global spiritual soul music I explore on streaming services to fuel inspiration for DJ sets and radio shows. From Roy Hargrove's jazz sophistication and Fela Kuti's Afrobeat revolution to Pastor TL Barrett's gospel transcendence, Tania Maria's Brazilian fire, and Yuksek's contemporary reimagining of traditional sounds, this is music from every continent united by one essential quality: authentic spiritual depth and uncompromising musicianship. It's a hotch potch of research, inspiration, and pure listening pleasure—the soundtrack to my ongoing exploration of how soul, spirituality, and groove transcend borders and generations, and how these sounds feed directly into everything I play for you.

A classic mixtape from Sydney crate digger, DJ & producer MK-1, pulled from the SOUL OF SYDNEY archives, circa 2013. A sonic story told through music, from one of our favourite local selectors — DJ MK-1. MK-1 Presents Malika (2013) is a deep, layered journey through hip hop, funk, soul and deep grooves, put together by a seasoned Sydney selector who has been doing his thing since the early '90s. One of the first DJs we went out and listened to back in the day, MK-1 was already playing bars, clubs and block parties around Sydney — and he's still doing it today. We've caught him everywhere from Caterpillar Club and Dean & Nancy's to the many Sydney spots where good music and serious selectors have found a home. A proper crate digger with a knack for finding gems and connecting sounds from all over the place. You never quite know where MK-1 is going to take you, but there's always something good waiting around the corner. A snapshot of Sydney's underground music scene from back in the day, preserved in the SOUL OF SYDNEY archives. MK-1 Presents Malika (2013) SOUL OF SYDNEY #448 Big love to our homey MK-1.

She grew up running around a veterinary college, spent three years in med school hating it, ran away to the circus for a bit, and now she's a PhD researcher in adversarial machine learning who doesn't really believe in AI. Meet Patti—a woman who refuses to be put in a box.In this episode, Patti takes us on a journey through her winding career path: from microbiology and immunology to computer science, from fire-spinning festivals to DJing under the name DJ Patti.K. She breaks down what AI actually is (statistics on steroids), why she thinks the cons of AI outweigh the pros, and how she's using her research to stay sharp while questioning the technology she studies.Patti also opens up about her passion for lowering the barriers to computer literacy, her work with Tech Girls Canada, and why she's launched a DJ collective called Freak Alantik to create space for racialised queer DJs in Halifax. She shares how she balances being a researcher, a musician, a parent, and a community builder—all by knowing her values and staying true to herself.Whether you're curious about AI, looking to start a creative project, or just trying to figure out how to be in multiple places at once, this episode is for you.Patricia (Patti) Kibenge is a 2nd-generation Ugandan-Canadian living and loving in Kjipuktuk, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq people. She is a PhD candidate in Computer Science at Dalhousie University in her final year of studies.

Nigel Thompson "Jumpin Jack Frost" opens up about becoming one of the founding voices of jungle music and the years of addiction and prison that shaped the journey behind it.Raised in 1970s Brixton in a West Indian household steeped in sound-system culture, Frost was sneaking into local dances by age nine and expelled from school for fighting, all while his father served a 12-year sentence for armed robbery. He got his start on pirate radio alongside lifelong friend and business partner Brian G, before breakbeat and acid house pulled him toward what became jungle. He tells the story of recording "Burial" in a single five-hour session while out on bail on a firearms charge that later put him in prison, releasing it under the alias Leviticus and only decades later watching Def Jam rerelease it as an anniversary record.Behind the music was a slide into addiction that spiralled during lockdown, before he got clean three and a half years ago and nursed his mother through terminal cancer. Now he mentors young DJs and people in recovery, rebuilding bonds with his six children and nine grandchildren.This is the eventful life of Nigel Thompson "Jumpin Jack Frost".

Most artists post content and get views, but almost none of it turns into real fans. That is not a content problem, it is a structure problem.In this solo episode, I walk through the Fan Funnel, the model I use in coaching with DJs and producers to explain how a stranger becomes a superfan. Four layers: visibility, relatability, connection, and community. Most artists never leave the first one.There are slides in this one, so watch the video version if you can.Free document and Discord details are in the YouTube description.(00:00) Intro(02:26) What the Fan Funnel is(06:51) Visibility(10:56) Relatability(14:08) Connection(16:43) Community(17:58) Rewarding your community(20:15) Why growth is slow(22:03) Using the funnel in your content(24:52) Closing
Buenos Aires bassline, Guadalajara hypnosis – we're premiering Pinto's deep, stripped-back take on Javier Ferreira's Mercury… Javier Ferreira built a bassline from mercury and light, Multi-instrument magic from Buenos Aires to the night; He broke the rhythm loose and let it drive, Through peak-time thunder, after-hours haze, A groove gone liquid in a silver blaze, Deep and functional, and somehow still alive. Then Pinto came along, all sampler and swing, Stripped the groove right back till the silence could sing; Guadalajara hands on a Mexican night, He hypnotised Mercury, slowed down the spark, Turned peak-time to prayer in the after-hours dark, On Playground Records, ten September: liftoff flight. Ferreira's Argentinian – Buenos Aires born, Barcelona based – and has been at this fifteen-odd years: DJ, producer, mixing engineer running his own studio, Soundsfera. He co-runs NINEFONT with his brother Gabriel, a hundred-plus releases deep, and has put tracks out everywhere from Suara to Rotten City. DJ Mag LA called him one of Argentina's top five techno DJs back in 2017; these days he's as likely to be found teaching, having co-founded academies in Buenos Aires (Insound) and Barcelona (BesideSchool). Deeper is three originals where deep basslines, broken rhythms and driving house grooves collide – detailed but functional, working just as well at peak time as three hours past it. The remixes pull in two directions: Pinto takes Mercury deeper and darker, stripping the groove back till tension carries the track instead of rhythm; François Del Mundo & Rem's Martinez go the other way on a separate cut, adding a soaring arpeggio and turning it into a straight-up club weapon. Pinto's from Guadalajara – a Bar Américas resident since 2007, founder of the Localafiesta night, part of the Vatos Locos crew, known for running a sampler as an extra mixer channel back when nobody else was bothering. His read on Mercury fits: strip it back, let it hypnotise rather than hit. Mercury (Pinto Remix), below. Deeper is out 10 September on Playground Records, mastered by Submarea Estudio.

“Gucci Mane was locked up on every album. I never got fired I quit!” ~ DJ Ace DJ Ace joins us for a new episode of Skipping Class presented by The Progress Report for an in-depth conversation about his journey as a DJ, road manager and key figure who witnessed some of the most important moments in Gucci Mane and 1017 history firsthand. In Part 1, DJ Ace reflects on knowing Gucci Mane since childhood and breaks down the difference between the old Gucci and the man he is today, including his thoughts on the infamous “Gucci clone” rumors and Gucci's evolution after getting off drugs and changing his lifestyle. Ace also gives his perspective on the recent Gucci Mane and Pooh Shiesty situation, explaining why “Pregnant Gucci” may have handled things differently and why becoming a husband, father, businessman and CEO changes how you respond when millions of dollars and your freedom are at stake. DJ Ace shares untold stories from his years alongside Gucci Mane, including their personal ups and downs, touring together, the Mr. Perfect mixtape era, Gucci's rise in show money and Ace's own hustle selling mixtapes on the road. He also speaks on Gucci Mane's incredible ability to introduce and put his stamp on artists, producers and DJs, including Waka Flocka Flame, Young Thug, Peewee Longway and others who became major forces in the industry. The conversation also gets into the alleged “1017 curse,” the loss of Slim Dunkin, the different eras of 1017, DJ Holiday, Zaytoven, Southside, Gucci Mane and Jeezy's historic Verzuz battle and much more from an era of Atlanta hip-hop that DJ Ace experienced firsthand. This is Part 1 of our conversation with DJ Ace. Part 2 is coming soon, so subscribe to The Progress Report and turn on notifications so you don't miss the rest of the interview.

Labour's new chief whip is a Liverpudlian with a broad cultural hinterland. Anneliese Midgley grew up in Knowsley on a housing estate. Her family struggled financially when she was growing up but their fortunes changed when her father got a job at the Halewood Ford factory. They moved to the more affluent area of Penny Lane and as a teenager Annaliese got a job at The Beatles Shop. Music became a huge part of her life. She hung out with DJs and musicians and was regularly seen behind the decks at cult Liverpool club night, Liquidation, which was run by her friend Daniel Hunt from the band Ladytron. Through him she met Saint Etienne founder Bob Stanley, who she married in 2000, and moved to London where Midgley became a music journalist. The couple later divorced but remain firm friends. Her first foray into politics was when she made some congestion charge badges for her friends and sent a few to then London Mayor Ken Livingstone who promptly employed her. She worked for him for five years before moving on to Unite union and then going on to work for Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer and TUC General Secretary Paul Nowak. In 2024 she ran for parliament as the Labour candidate for Knowsley. In her two years in the commons she has established a reputation for getting things done. She fought hard to secure Olivia's law, campaigned for the Hillsborough law and was a key part of getting the government to back down on welfare reform. But perhaps her biggest moment yet was helping to propel the new Prime Minister Andy Burnham to power after running his by-election campaign with fellow Labour MP Louise Haigh.Production: Presenter: Mark Coles Producers: Annabel Deas and Bethan Ashmead Production Coordinator: Keshia Agyei Sound: Gareth Jones Editor: Justine Lang

Send us Fan MailAnime NYC is supposed to be a fun day out, right, until you realize it's also a full-on cultural mirror. We're back with a chaotic recap that hits everything: last-minute cosplay planning, the best food finds, DJs on different floors, and the one piece of convention etiquette we wish everybody took seriously. We also talk about why it feels so good to see Black cosplayers show out, take characters we love, and make the look completely our own. From there, the conversation opens up into pure Mixed Vibes territory: who actually enjoys dressing up, who refuses on principle, and how social media keeps feeding our curiosity. We shout out Grinlock, a Black superhero comedy anime making noise and landing a bigger release, and we get into how fandom spreads through TikTok clips, Instagram shares, and real-life conversations with strangers. Then we pivot hard into the important stuff: parenting takes on what kids listen to, and a baby shower food draft where we only get four picks and everybody argues like it's the playoffs. Nostalgia takes over with a “somebody gotta get up for SpongeBob” debate, then we switch lanes into sports with Deshaun Watson talk, and relationships with a hypothetical poly lifestyle question that exposes double standards and the real emotional work people ignore. We wrap with our Mount Rushmore of white celebrities Black people don't play about, a viral “White Boy Craig” moment, an R&B Verzuz breakdown of Joe vs Donnell Jones, and a final Hot Thoughts detour that brings Comic Con and voice actors back into the mix. If you laughed, disagreed, or felt personally attacked by the food picks, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review.

On Episode 97 of the I'M PEAKING Podcast, we're joined by our good friend, Jared Feather: IFBB Pro bodybuilder, sports physiologist, and Head Physique & Bodybuilding Specialist at RP Strength, to finally settle the debate between raving and making gains. Jared explains what actually happens to your progress when you spend an entire weekend dancing, barely eating, and running on four hours of sleep. We discuss how much sleep you really need to build muscle, why protein and consistent training matter more than perfectly optimizing every detail, and how Jared manages to balance professional bodybuilding with his newfound love for raving.We also discuss John Summit canceling several festival appearances to recharge, whether fans expect too much from touring DJs, celebrities entering the EDM scene, the rise of AI-generated music, and how Jared went from knowing almost nothing about rave culture to getting recognized at festivals for his rave content with Devin. Plus, we react to festival clips and ask Jared our most burning questions!What do YOU do to protect your gains during festival weekends? Let us know in the comments!

Evan Harris, Dear Friend of the Podcast, is back to talk about spending the last year acting in many short films to build experience and a reel and about what led to stand-up being on the back burner while doing more sketch and character work. She also discusses producing her LA show “Town Hall,” where comics pitch bringing back bygone things, along with the logistical stress of booking, last-minute drops, and production mishaps. They discuss professionalism and being “big-timed,” and talk about LA comedy culture, no-hustle softball, improv at The Pack, and improvised plays with tech cues and about DJs not serving what audiences want.

Ryan sits down with Denise Mickelsen to preview one of Colorado's biggest culinary weekends, running August 26–29. They break down everything from wine education and competitive cocktail making to food trucks, green chile and Saturday's massive Grand Tasting. The week kicks off Wednesday with the Riedel Wine Seminar, where attendees learn how the shape of a glass can completely change the way a wine tastes and smells. Even better: you leave with your own set of Riedel glassware. Thursday brings the Shake & Break Showdown, featuring 10 food trucks and 11 bartenders battling for the People's Choice awards. Expect everything from Ethiopian and Indian food to Korean cuisine, dumplings, pizza, New Zealand-style ice cream and apparently something called a "burger bomb." Then Saturday is the big one: the Grand Tasting on the Tivoli Quad. More than 50 restaurants converge on Denver alongside hundreds of wines and spirits, DJs, games, VIP experiences and even a roaming tarot card reader. Restaurants are coming from across Colorado, making it what Denise calls "Colorado on a plate." Ryan and Denise also get into one of Colorado's most important culinary debates: Who actually has the best green chile? Savina's enters the conversation with a perfect score, Taco de Mexico gets some love, and the Colorado vs. New Mexico green chile rivalry is temporarily downgraded from open warfare to a "friendly" disagreement. Best of all, the festival supports the Colorado Restaurant Foundation, which provides culinary education, apprenticeships, scholarships and emergency assistance to restaurant workers throughout Colorado. Come hungry. Take a rideshare. Always get the ice cream. In this episode: Denver Food & Wine Festival 2026 The Riedel Wine Seminar Shake & Break food truck + cocktail showdown Saturday's massive Grand Tasting 50+ restaurants from across Colorado The Colorado ProStart culinary program Supporting Colorado restaurant workers Savina's and the hunt for Colorado's best green chile Why Denver's food scene deserves more respect Why you should always get the ice cream Tickets & Info: denverfoodandwine.com
