DJ Legend Slipmatt on 90s UK Rave Scene

Описание: Slipmatt’s journey took him from school discos to illegal warehouse raves… and all the way to Top of the Pops. As one half of SL2, he helped shape the sound of early UK rave — with tunes like On a Ragga Tip becoming anthems of a generation. In this episode, Slipmatt shares stories from 35+ years at the heart of dance music — from the birth of Raindance to emotional sets in Japan, Ibiza madness, and why he still avoids agents to this day.
