Bryan Gee digs deep into the foundations for this month's V Podcast, pulling out a heavyweight selection of classic Bristol drum and bass ahead of the V Classics show in Shoreditch this March. Long before playlists and algorithms, these were the records that shaped the sound. Raw breakbeats, heavyweight basslines and unmistakable Bristol attitude from the likes of Roni Size, DJ Die, Krust and Dillinja, alongside underground pressure from Kamanchi, Mask and Gang Related, Suburban Knights and Scorpio.

We are coming to you LIVE from the Bike Shed in London's Shoreditch! In this special panel episode, Gary and George are joined by a live audience and four industry heavyweights to tackle the post-Christmas "sludge." We've all been there: the year technically starts in January, but the real momentum doesn't kick in until February.How do you accelerate out of the blocks? We discuss the critical difference between strategy and execution, how to mobilize a team before they've even left for the holidays, and what to do if your Q1 performance hits the rocks.Featuring an expert panel:Mark Pestridge (EVP & GM, Telehouse Europe)Fiona Richards (Group COO, Aphelia Group)Rich Best (Fractional CRO, & Founder, RW Best Co)Neil Anderson (CEO, Smart Tasking)Key takeaways from this episode:Q1 actually starts in Q4: The most successful leaders set the strategy and communication before the Christmas break, not after.Swerve perfection: Pace beats perfection—don't let the need for consensus slow down decision-making in the critical early months.Don't over-engineer: When asking what not to do, the resounding answer is to avoid over-complicating processes. Keep it simple.The "George Grill": Our panelists face tough questions on keeping the lights on whilst innovating, handling regulatory pressure, and the emergency levers to pull when revenue lags.Send a textLinks & references: https://www.thecompanydoctor.com/Gary Gamp: https://www.linkedin.com/in/garygampGeorge Clode: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgeclodeGary's new book, Career Catalyst - available online now: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Career-Catalyst-Secret-Skills-School-ebook/dp/B0DFYVG6XY/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

A liberty zone—where London's appetite could be fed without London's conscience being too inconvenienced.8:00–15:00 THEN: A walking tour in soundGEORGE:Will, walk us into Shoreditch on a performance day. What do we hear?WILL:Noise first. Always noise.Hawkers. Apprentices.

Step into the world of Malcolm Garrett, an iconic British graphic designer whose career is grounded in punk rock and new technology.In this episode, Malcolm talks about designing record sleeves for bands like Buzzcocks, Duran Duran, and Simple Minds, as well as his enthusiasm for adopting new digital design tools. From the DIY spirit of London's Shoreditch neighborhood in the '80s to learning how to design on Apple IIe computers and early iterations of Adobe Illustrator, Malcolm's reflections offer a glimpse into the evolution of graphic design over the past five decades.

Mark Hix's Part 1 is basically a greatest hits album of British restaurant stories, told by the bloke who lived them. From boozy late nights at the Groucho with Richard Corrigan, to being Tonksed at 3 a.m, the episode opens in full chaos mode. From there, you get deep into the London years. Hix walks us through the Ivy, the Caprice, Scott's and J Sheekey, the creation of dishes like the crispy duck and watercress salad that started life as pork, and a black ink risotto that made Jonathan Meades sit up and take notice. He tells the story of Challenge Hix in the Tram Shed kitchen library, where head chefs cooked against him under a 30 minute clock, and the rules were simple: no more than three main ingredients on the plate and a menu line that actually tells you how a dish is cooked. His disgust at the modern “ingredient, comma, ingredient, comma, ingredient” menu gets a full, glorious rant.The episode is packed with the kind of stuff chefs whisper about. Mark remembers the days when critics like A. A. Gill, Faye Maschler and Jonathan Meades could make or break a restaurant, from rave reviews to absolute shockers. He talks about Gill slagging off the Tram Shed, texting him mid review over oyster details, and the surreal moment he opened a Sunday paper to see his cookbook recipes lined up against Gordon Ramsay's pub dishes in a double page spread. There are tales of the Rivington Grill as a near empty bar that had to “rent a crowd” of Shoreditch artists, his art-for-food deals, and the moment he texted Damien Hirst for a sculpture and ended up with a giant cow and chicken in formaldehyde at the heart of Tram Shed.Underneath the mischief there is a harder story too. Hix talks about growing up in Bridport, watching his grandfather run the local pub and paint business, getting steered into catering college by a family friend, and grinding through the Hilton staff canteen, the Grosvenor House and the Dorchester before landing at the Caprice. He also begins to lift the lid on the brutal side of restaurant ownership, from insane London rents to the moment his business partners put his restaurants into administration two days before lockdown, leaving him to stand in Tram Shed and tell 130 staff they no longer had jobs. It is funny, furious, nostalgic and very human. Part 1 feels like sitting at the bar with Mark Hix while he finally tells you how it all really happened.-------- Hosted on Acast.

Headlines change fast, but this week's timber stories carry real weight. We start with a personal moment that grounds the show, then move into a tour of breakthroughs and big bets shaping the future of low-carbon construction. From a landmark conference to a new connection system and skyline-defining projects, the conversation is all about making mass timber faster, stronger, and more visible.We share updates on the International Mass Timber Conference as it heads into a milestone year, reflecting on how a decade of shared research and community has pushed the industry forward. Then we break down Rothoblaas' Radial connection system and why factory pre-installation, tighter tolerances, and rapid on-site assembly matter to developers and contractors chasing schedule certainty and cost control. If you care about embodied carbon and buildability, these details are the difference between an idea and a signed contract.Our global tour continues with planning approval for a mixed use campus in Shoreditch, where creative retrofit meets new-build to strengthen the public realm. In Texas, a 212,000-square-foot Mass Timber Experiential Learning Hub at Texas A&M ties regional sourcing to a bold educational vision set to open in 2028. And in Sydney, Atlassian Central's hybrid timber frame reveals lush “habitats” that make climate leadership tangible in a major commercial tower anchoring the city's tech precinct.We close with a major signal from Big Tech: Amazon's full-scale mass timber trials for data centres. When logistics giants aim to cut embodied carbon without sacrificing speed or reliability, suppliers, engineers, and insurers all pay attention. That momentum, combined with Microsoft and Google exploring similar paths, suggests mass timber is moving from showcase to standard in mission-critical facilities.

What happens when two people with very different beginnings—one raised in an artist family, the other hairdressing and DJing before turning to curating—come together to build a gallery that's now shaping the future of contemporary art in London? Today, I speak with Oswaldo Nicoletti and Camille Houzé, the duo behind NıCOLETTı. Founded as a curatorial project in 2018, the gallery has grown into a permanent space in Shoreditch, recently redesigned by JAM, the architecture collective formed out of Turner Prize winning studio Assemble. Over the years, NıCOLETTı has become known for offering emerging artists their first UK solo shows, many of whom have gone on to biennials and major institutions. We trace their origin stories—from philosophy books and family studios to hair salons and record labels—and how those threads wove into a shared vision of a gallery that privileges singular practices, conceptual rigour, and a deep belief in collaboration. We talk about what it really means to support artists over the long term, how to think about selling without selling out, and the lessons learned from fairs and friendships along the way. If you've ever wondered how a gallery decides who to represent, what makes work “resonate,” or how you actually sustain trust between artists, collectors, and audiences, this conversation pulls back the curtain. KEY TAKEAWAYS The galleries that thrive are those who stand beside artists they truly believe in. Artwork resonates when it's singular, honest, and sparks a visceral connection. Sometimes it's the story, sometimes it's the mystery, but it's always about care, context, and the courage to champion new perspectives. Trust in the art world is built on open dialogue, collaboration and commitment. When gallerists, artists, and audiences show up for each other, the ecosystem flourishes. BEST MOMENTS “A gallery is not only a space with walls, it's a relationship. Between gallerist and artist, between artwork and audience, between risk and resilience.” “We are still trying to be a gallery that operates as little as possible as a gallery. So, always artistic quality and exhibitions first, then, business unfolds from that.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://nicoletticontemporary.com https://www.instagram.com/nicoletticontemporary HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

London runs on rails – and we've got a new tour that explores London's railway stations. Distinguished railway historian Christian Wolmar and elite London guide Sam Jacobs take us on an all-day journey through the city's iron arteries: from Shoreditch to Paddington, from Victorian grandeur to modern revival. Part history, part adventure, it's London seen through its railway termini – the people, the power, the ambition, and the steam that made the city move.

"The food is like almost the last piece of the puzzle." So says acclaimed chef Tom Brown, who joins us to peel back the layers of London's vibrant food scene and his own culinary philosophy. From his 'Willy Wonka' creative process at The Capital, where dishes like his crab custard defy expectation, Brown reveals that true restaurant success hinges on 'setting, service, food'  a lesson from Marco Pierre White. He shares his journey from Cornwall to making Hackney home with Cornerstone where he soaked up all the sage wisdom of legend Nathan Outlaw. Tom has always been driven by the belief that "if you do something good, people will come." He finds solace in solo dining at places like Shoreditch's Navy Clubs, emphasizes the "business of happiness," ensuring guests leave feeling better than when they arrived. He delves into his obsession with oysters, learning their 'terroir' from Irish farmers, and the art of fish butchery inspired by Josh Niland. This episode is a masterclass in relentless improvement, drawing parallels between culinary reinvention and the evolution of bands like Arctic Monkeys, all while navigating the tight margins and evolving landscape of modern hospitality. =============================================

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: Can you coach self-awareness? I manage someone who seems to believe their skill set is on par with their teammates, regardless of their constant PR feedback regarding the same issues over and over, the extra attention they are regularly given to help them overcome coding challenges, and the PIP they are currently on to address these issues (and others). What are some approaches I could take to help steer them to better understand their areas for growth when explicit measures don't seem to get through? I work at a small 10-person startup. The company has absolutely nothing to do with AI, but one of the founders has gone full evangelist. He genuinely believes AGI is arriving this year and that there isn't a single job, task, or process where an LLM isn't the obvious tool.

Visuals: https://getbehindthebillboard.com/episode-93-buildhollywoodEpisode #93 features Jayne Andrew & Isobel Deevy from OOH specialists BuildHollywood, who very kindly came down from Manchester to chat about some of their amazing projects.We've been saying for ages who are BuildHollywood? Their name is always on the coolest stuff.So this was our moment to find out. It's no exaggeration to say if you've seen something iconic and spectacular in the great outdoors, chances are BuildHollywood would have been behind it.We started with a brilliant idea for a brilliant book, Max Porter: Grief Is The Thing with Feathers. BuildHollywood created a ‘feather billboard' in Shoreditch … nearly 100 episodes in and we've never discussed a feather billboard. Great story.Then there was their ongoing commitment to Manchester International Festival, the Marmite special build, Travel Supermarket inflatables with Meanwhile, the super cool F37: Mancunio which recently dominated the streets of Manchester and more.The great work kept coming: Prost8 and Specsavers were next before we ended on a very special, special build for Dreamies ‘purr-fest poster'.We also got an exclusive (at the time!) of Listen to Your Heart, an immense collaboration with Creative Review and 3D artist Joseph Melhuish featuring Melhuish's signature quirky style. Designed to showcase the creative potential of 3D billboard art, the project highlights how physical installations can still make a strong emotional and visual impact in an increasingly digital world.

Damian Lazarus joins me for a wide-ranging conversation tracing his path from the early 2000s electroclash scene to his position today as one of dance music's most consistently influential figures.We talk about how it all began — from getting his first DJ residency at 16, to working as music editor at Dazed and Confused, to his A&R role at City Rockers, where he helped shape the early sound of electroclash alongside labels like Gigolo and Turbo. He shares stories from that era: warehouse parties in Shoreditch, impromptu gigs in disused toilets, and encounters with everyone from The Strokes to Jarvis Cocker.We also get into what came next: founding Crosstown Rebels, building immersive events like Day Zero and Get Lost, and working with artists like Jamie Jones, Francesca Lombardo, and Maceo Plex.Damian also talks candidly about sobriety, how it affected his creative process during the making of his Magickal album, and what changed for him on a personal level. He describes the early signs — creative blocks, burnout — and the shifts that followed once he made the decision to stop.We cover a lot: longevity in music, what it means to stay curious, and how looking back at music's past helps him think about where things might go next.Listen to Damian Lazarus' music:

Shakespeare is now a towering figure of global theatre. But in the 1590s, he was just an up-and-coming young playwright, trying to scratch out a living in Shoreditch's emerging theatre scene. Daniel Swift revisits this early stage of the Bard's career in his new book The Dream Factory, linking it with the story of a long-lost Shoreditch playhouse simply called 'The Theatre'. Speaking to Ellie Cawthorne, Daniel reveals what it would have been like to see one of Shakespeare's original productions, and how he may have been inspired by a terrible play called Hamlet. (Ad) Daniel Swift is the author of The Dream Factory: London's First Playhouse and the Making of William Shakespeare (Yale University Press, 2025).
