EP048 | Luke Curtis | The Hidden Cost of Chasing the Dream
<p>In this episode, we sit down with Luke Curtis — a photographer deeply woven into UK club culture, known for capturing some of the most iconic moments in nightlife, music and dance over the last decade.</p><br><p>Behind the scenes, Luke opens up about a very different story. He speaks candidly about struggling with his mental health, experiencing suicidal thoughts, the breakdown of a long-term relationship, and the moment he realised something had to change.</p><br><p>What followed was a complete reset: stepping away from the industry, converting a van, stripping life back to basics, and beginning a new chapter focused on healing, purpose and being of service to others. This is an honest, raw conversation about identity, pressure, masculinity, and what happens when the life you’ve built no longer fits.</p><br><p>One of the most vulnerable and valuable conversations we’ve had, full of perspective, hope, and reminders that asking for help can be the bravest move of all.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

EP047 | Jason Herd | How a Paramedic Became a Global House Music Icon
<p>Jason Herd — also known as Juan Kidd — went from saving lives as a paramedic in Manchester to becoming one of house music’s most respected names. After discovering the rave scene, he left the ambulance behind and began a journey that would take him to the world’s biggest clubs and festivals.</p><br><p>He went on to create era-defining tracks like “I Just Can’t Get Enough” and the Beatport No.1 “Now You’re Gone,” playing everywhere from Space Ibiza to Creamfields. But when EDM took over and soulful, vocal house was pushed aside, Jason was forced to navigate a changing industry, rebuild his love for music and find a new path.</p><br><p>Now, he’s channelling that journey into helping the next generation through Subtone Electronic Music Academy — a space for aspiring producers to learn and develop their craft.</p><br><p>This is a raw, honest conversation about passion, reinvention and staying true to your sound even when the scene moves on.</p><br><p>Learn more or enrol at <strong>Subtone Electronic Music Academy </strong>👉 <strong> </strong>www.subtoneacademy.com</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
