    We are coming to you live from Ibiza with four change makers who have had a huge impact on dance music - Nadine Noor (Pxssy Palace), Harry Gay (Queer House Party), Sydney Blue (Change the Beat) and Steven Braines (He.She.They). We’re discussing how to create change, how to diversify spaces, why there’s still lots left to do and how to make spaces more accessible for a wider range of people.

    Jaguar - hitting rock bottom and coming back

    Jaguar - hitting rock bottom and coming back

    This week we are getting to know Jaguar a little bit more. We’re reliving her journey from a kid in Alderney with an iPod nano full of her older brother’s music, to a DJ presenting on BBC Radio 1, with a viral Mixmag Lab and beyond. We are also exploring some of the more challenging aspects of a career in dance music, as we delve into Jaguar’s journey with mental health, with an incredibly honest conversation about depression, the importance of taking a break and more. This one is a big one!
    Also - Jaguar has been nominated for Underground Hero at this year’s DJ Mag Awards! Your vote would mean the world to us: bestofbritish.djmag.com
