In this episode, Kelly is joined by DJ and all round vibe provider Rob da Bank. Having co founded and run Bestival and Camp Bestival for close to 20 years, Rob and his wife Josie are now present in the wellness scene with their enterprise Sleep Retreat and most recently, Camp Earth. Knowing the strains life can have on the body and mind their mission is to create safe spaces for guests to unwind and reconnect. Kelly and Rob discuss that journey into wellness, why bringing people together with music has always been such a drive and how lockdown has affected the da Bank family in the last year.

Rob da Bank has been getting the party started for decades, ever since he first started DJing in the 1990s. But one of the biggest casualties of the Covid-19 crisis has been live music and festivals, and with the 2021 summer festival season now in doubt, we caught up with Rob to found how he has coped with this radical change in his life. We chat to Rob about how he's managing with homeschooling his four sons at home in the Isle of Wight, and why being able to spend time outdoors and in nature is keeping him going. As the co-founder, along with his wife Josie, of legendary festivals Bestival and Camp Bestival, we also talk about the sense of connection and belonging that people get from festivals, how they're nourishing for our souls and how we're all missing those release valves in our lives because of the lockdowns. Rob has moved into meditation teaching in the past few years, and so we also talk to him about how he's shifted his focus from making people happy through DJing, to helping them discover their true self through meditation. Rob and Josie now run Sleep Retreat, an ‘antidote to 21st century living' where yoga and meditation provide a calm respite from our over-screened worlds. https://sleepretreat.net Thanks so much to Rob for talking to us – we hope you enjoy it.

We are back with Madame Electrifie (aka Little Jo) talking about her glittering DJ career and journey into production with her band Cassini Circles. Fusing the best vintage beats with the best of the modern age; Madame Electrifie takes classic grooves and threads through everything from hip hop, to house, breaks and drum and bass to create a raucous dance floor focused party, all with that distinctive driving sound that's a firm nod to her breaks and tech roots missed with plenty of funk, fun and nonsense on the way. In 18 years on the decks, she's played some of the UK's leading venues across the years, from Ministry to Turnmills, and has graced many of the leading London warehouse parties supporting some of the biggest names in electronic music over the years across all spectrums of the dance music world including The Stanton Warriors, Jon Carter, Elite Force, A Skillz, , Annie Nightingale, Rob Da Bank, Krafty Kuts, and a whole host of bands. In contrast, her band Cassini Circles are a electronica act featuring vocalist Shannon Kait and producers Jo Burns (Madame Electrifie) and Yoshe Watson. Their music takes a journey through dark brooding basslines and haunting vocal melodies, through electronica, trip hop and house. Influenced by the energy of the dancefloor combined with the ambience of the after party, it's a heavy blend taking in influence from everything from jazz to dub. https://soundcloud.com/cassinicircles https://soundcloud.com/madame-electrifie Soundcloud.com/threadsradio

In this Podcast we have a chat with Rob Da Bank the Co-Creator of Bestival about getting started in a business.

Who started the first DJ Bar in the UK? Will Flisk did. Will, together with his business partners, set up Bar Vinyl which was voted one of the UK's Top 10 Best Bars in the 90's. Located in Camden, Bar Vinyl had quite the reputation and Will openly admits to not remembering most of his time there. That said with guests like Boy George and Fat Boy Slim together with the MTV crews casually popping in to record music videos and interviews from his bar, he has quite a few funny stories to tell. Come with me as we chat about the launch of Bar Vinyl; how he hosted a tent for 2000 people in Glastonbury whilst sleeping next to Rob Da Bank; his time in Greece where he was frequently called Malakas as a term of endearment; his up and coming new Vinyl releases and how world famous artist Damien Hirst drew him to Ilfracombe in North Devon which has now resulted in him opening his very own studio called Gates Of the West Studio to help new and emerging local talent.Oh and we also cover a bit about me and how my Box of Frogs podcast got its name which is as mad as it sounds!To hear more of Will’s music find him on Soundcloud: @WillFliskWill’s North Devon Studio is at www.gatesofthewest.co.ukA bit about me …. DJ Fiona White I’m a house music DJ with a passion for playing deep and chilled music as well as sharing stories that inspire me. Recently I have been accepted onto Ibiza’s first international DJ Academy, where I am being mentored by house music legends; Roger Sanchez, Brandon Block, and Doorly, whilst also being guided by DJ Academy owner, and entrepreneur Danny Savage.The inspiration for my passion for music comes from nearly two decades of visits to Ibiza where I have spent many hours soaking up the sunshine vibes, attending both opening and closing parties and also paying homage to the most influential of global DJ’s, on the dance floors of Ibiza’s world famous clubs.Box of Frogs (my very own Frogcast) is my way of expressing my love of all that I am passionate about and connecting with people through a mutual love of house music and a desire to be inspired and smile more through life …… Oh and I’m also Irish so the colour green works a treat!Want to know more?

A compilation of archive material from Rob da Bank's years at Radio 1.

This episode is all about building your dreams but doing it with patience, perseverance, and uniqueness. In the music industry for over 20 years, first as a journalist, then breaking into DJing with a regular spot on BBC Radio 1 as well as managing talent under his own record label, Rob then partnered with his wife Jocie to building out their own independent music festival which has grown over the last 15 years into the mega event that is Bestival. What I love about Rob is he is super down to earth despite being clearly incredibly talented and organised to run everything he has done successfully. I caught up with him in the days just before Bestival 2018. You might hear a few trucks and things moving as he was on the build site as we were speaking! Stay tuned to the end for some great advice about building your dreams.
