    William Orbit

    This previously unreleased episode of How To DJ is released in loving memory of William Orbit. Recorded after William had returned from seeing Madonna perform in Paris, this wide-ranging conversation captures the Grammy-winning producer, musician and artist in his own words — and, at William’s request, we’ve chosen to release it in its original full-length, unedited form. William talks to Chris Hawkins about his lifelong obsession with sound, discovering DJ culture and pirate radio, building studios, making records with Torch Song, Bass-O-Matic and Strange Cargo, and the extraordinary journey that took him from struggling for money in Crouch End to receiving a phone call from Madonna and helping create Ray of Light. He reflects on working with artists including Madonna, Beth Orton and Britney Spears, the highs and lows that followed enormous success, his approach to creativity, and why he believed you should never underestimate the power of the random. It is funny, candid, occasionally chaotic and unmistakably William Orbit. Released with love to William’s family and friends, and in memory of a true musical genius. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Rob Tissera

    In this episode, Chris Hawkins sits down with hard dance pioneer Rob Tissera to look back on more than 35 years behind the decks. Rob recalls arriving in Manchester at the height of the acid house explosion, practising in a tiny room in Chinatown and getting an early break DJing at the Haçienda before going on to become a fixture at some of the biggest clubs and raves of the era. He also tells the story of the illegal warehouse rave that ended in a mass arrest, after Rob took to the microphone and urged the crowd to fight the police — ultimately leading to a three-month prison sentence. Rob and Chris discuss his rise from pirate radio and the Blackburn rave scene to international DJing, his approach to selecting records, embracing new DJ technology and why, after more than three decades, he’s still chasing new music, making records and loving life behind the decks.

    Luke Una

    Luke Una has spent four decades at the heart of Manchester's underground music scene. In this episode, the co-founder of Electric Chair and founder of Homoelectric and Homobloc looks back on the clubs, record shops and communities that shaped him, from discovering house music in Sheffield to helping define Manchester's nightlife. He explains why reading a dancefloor matters more than technical ability, how eclectic music built Electric Chair's identity, and why creating spaces where people feel they belong has always been more important than chasing commercial success. Luke also reflects on sobriety, ADHD, creativity, the changing culture of clubbing, and why he believes young people are rediscovering the magic of dancefloors in an increasingly divided world.
