Andy Nicholson returns! Now a published author, Andy talks through his book and exhibition — sharing unseen photos and stories from a defining era in UK music, and the unexpected ways those records have shaped people’s lives.

We also get into his time with Clubs & Spades, his approach to making music, and why staying authentic has always mattered more than playing the game.

A conversation about legacy, creativity, and realising the impact your work has on others and of course we also try to rate Andy’s meal deal. ;)

We sit down with Alex Deadman to explore his journey through Sheffield’s underground music scene and the role he’s played behind the scenes in drum & bass and electronic music culture.

Alex shares stories from discovering jungle music as a kid, attending early raves, and eventually becoming deeply involved in the scene — from running events and working club doors to helping build early online platforms like Drum & Bass Arena and live streaming raves long before it became normal.

We talk about the evolution of jungle, dubstep and drum & bass, the early internet era of music culture, and how Sheffield became an unexpected hub for innovation in the scene.

We sit down with Sheffield hip hop artist Matic Mouth to talk about his journey through music, life, and the influences that shaped him.

Matic shares stories from growing up in Sheffield, the impact of his mum’s guidance, and how youth clubs like The Hill helped shape his path. From hearing Snoop Dogg and Wu-Tang Clan for the first time, to writing lyrics in school books and performing on stage before ever recording a track, we explore how hip hop became his outlet.

We also discuss the evolution of hip hop culture, East Coast vs West Coast sounds, the rise of artists like Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole, and how Sheffield continues to influence Matic’s writing and perspective.
