1. Roska on touring, worst gigs and how to learn from setbacks

In this first episode, Emily Dust sits down with UK Funky pioneer Roska. A producer and DJ from London who runs the label Roska Kicks and Snares, he's been a stalwart of the scene since the 00s. His own productions have seen him work alongside the likes of Flowdan, MC GQ, Serocee, Jammz and Aleisha Lee. As a label boss he's been a consistent supporter of new talent including Murder He Wrote, DJ Polo and established names on the scene like Champion, DJ Naughty and Hardhouse Banton. As a DJ he continues to tour all over the world including Asia, Europe and America.


He share memories of being part of a scene in those early days before it got defined, how touring with Toddla T compares to touring solo, the best clubs to play in China, Japan and London and he shares the story of his worst ever gig which unfortunately happened in a legendary club. He also describes how to gain confidence from setbacks, the role of MCs in dance music and whether DJs should share their tracklistings.
