This is one of those episodes that is beyond special to me. James Kirkham is not only the co-founder of Race Service, but much more importantly, he is a dear friend and mentor who has changed my life for the better ever since the day we met. He has an incredible story of never giving up and dreaming bigger than anyone I've ever met! He's sacrificed just about everything in pursuit of those huge dreams, but he is proof that if you never stop and want it bad enough, anything is possible. For that reason, this episode is one that I will forever cherish. I hope you take something beautiful away from it.

Defected Records chief business officer James Kirkham talks to Broadcast Tech editor Jake Bickerton about the dance label's hugely popular weekly Virtual Festivals, which kicked off as soon as the UK went into lockdown. The 12-hour live streamed events, which went out on a plethora of social media platforms every Friday night, brought in an audience of millions of dance music fans each week. Each Virtual Festival brought together DJs from around the world, who each had an hour to spin discs from their home, before the next DJ kicked off their set. The complexity of how each set was filmed ranged from a single iPhone camera stream to a multi-camera setup, including drones. Kirkham explains how it was all put together and what the future for Virtual Festivals might be post-lockdown.
