The Daytimers Podcast returns with an exclusive interview with none other than Manara! This episode has strong language.

Provhat & Chandé spoke to the prolific DJ & Broadcaster, living legend and one true queen of the spiciest blends all the way back in the midst of winter 2020, which our esteemed interviewee attests was “two Manara’s ago”. 

Even still, the Manara we spoke too back then, for their FIRST EVER in depth interview to date, had already garnered vast acclaim as a DJ that has toured clubs and festivals around the world, had residencies on Rinse FM and NTS plus standout appearances on Boiler Room that has every single one of your favourite DJs and Producers tweeting their devotion to her majesty on the decks.

It’s safe to say that she has helped open up the music industry's eyes to South Asian contemporary club sounds. For us she has welcomed us into a space that has inspired many to look back to our childhood with new joy. Creating spaces with her Cousins parties, in arms with others from the South Asian Diaspora but also alongside it and of course the Ultimate Spice Blends compilation and her Pure Spice residency on BBC Asian Network.

Fitting in with her enthralling DJ sets and the chaotic energy she professes an affinity to, this conversation goes everywhere. Insights to Manara's journey into music whilst navigating family and faith, discovering her approach to creativity as a DJ and Producer, and achieving those milestones that have paved the way for others. Expect hilarious tangents on Big Brother, Real Housewives, Mariah Carey and Coronation Street. You can be sure that you’ll learn as much as you laugh along the way, so without further ado, here is our interview with Manara…

This month's episode of the podcast features the inimitable Almass Badat. Presenter, DJ, Director, Public Speaker, the list goes on... 
Daytimers crew members Provhat & Nirav were lucky enough to sit down and speak to her about her journey to becoming a polymath. From interdisciplinary focus, to learning and translating her understanding of cultures across international borders, Almass’s wisdom runs as deep as her love for her own South Asian culture. 

Make sure to check out everything Almass is up to at the moment including her monthly residency on BBC Asian Network & What Is This Behaviour Podcast!
