In episode 4 I sit down with someone hugely inspiring in so many ways: Sweetpea!

A DJ, producer, radio presenter, interviewer, and an EQ50 sister.. Sweetpea experiences the drum and bass scene from many different sides. 

This conversation is full of things, that primarily, I think we all know, but we need to be reminded of - myself included. It's refreshing to hear some of the advice she has for up and comers and the way she's seen dnb evolve, the hope she has in the new generation and some of the things she misses from what she calls her 'golden era'.
 
We touch on important topics such as inclusivity and diversity, social media, mindset, battling quiet periods in your music career and the importance of being fulfilled in your life as a whole.

In the interview, I describe this as 'The chat I wanted to have, but didn't realise how much I needed'. I stand by this statement. 

Hope you enjoy and take away some really good things from this!

DNB MC & Producer
Ramp Up!/Shutdown/Fully Charged/PTRNS

"Chronic Drop is one of the top MCs on the Bristol DNB circuit. After seeing him run set with Annix, Nicky Blackmarket, Dazee, Suv, Gray, Zoro, Monss, Trafic MC, & many more we are sure this guy is one to watch. Now he has started combining his lyrics with his music production (with releases such as 'Bliss' on Free Drum & Bass Records) and working with other producers - supplying hooks & bars for tracks - watch this space!" RAMP UP!
