    Inside The Industry: Menendez Brothers on DJ Culture, Ministry of Sound, Ibiza, Defected & Building Global Party Brands

    In this episode of Loud & Unfiltered, Josh Karpf sits down with two of the most recognisable figures in global nightlife and DJ culture — The Menendez Brothers. From selling out their first parties at 18 to running events, booking festivals and playing across the world, Deniz and Eniz share the real story behind their rise in the music industry — built on energy, instinct and an obsession with making people dance. Recorded live in London, this conversation dives into their journey through Ministry of Sound, Defected, Glitterbox, Fabric, Ibiza and global festival circuits, alongside the realities of building a career in nightlife and electronic music today. The episode explores how they developed their signature DJ style — rooted in versatility, crowd connection and reading the room — rather than sticking to one genre or trying to follow trends. From early days learning on vinyl to playing major stages like Glastonbury, Notting Hill Carnival and Outlook Festival, they break down what it really takes to move a dancefloor. They also share honest insight into the business side of nightlife — running events, building brands like So Fresh So Clean and Feelings, and navigating the changing landscape of London club culture post-COVID. Along the way, there are stories from across their careers — from wild festival moments and global touring to the lessons they’ve learned working with some of the biggest names and venues in the industry.
