great pod

!!!!!

Essential listening

The back to back podcast has become a my go-to source for hearing insights into some of the worlds top DJ’s and producers. Willy is not only an excellent host and interviewer but over the course of a few episodes it will be hard not to see him as a friend. He’s got such a knowledgeable, insightful, positive & ethical outlook that some of these qualities are bound to provide just as much value as the excellent guests he has on the show each week. Willy is really passionate about this podcast and it shows. Extremely highly recommended!!
