  • The Dexter Jones Show

    This podcast should be renamed “The Dexter Jones Show” as the host spends as much , if not more , time talking about himself and interrupting the guests , than he does allowing them to speak and tell their story.

    After not listening for a while , I thought I’d give it a second chance but he was actually worse than ever in the Chris Agnelli double episode.

    Yet another dance music podcaster with a massive ego and an over-inflated opinion of himself.

    I’ve unsubscribed !

    Tremendous stories and details form my golden age. Love Chris' self-deprecating tone. Everyday original is in my top 5 trance of all time. Creamfields 99 and Gatecrasher at Lotherton Hall. Just try to ignore the vocal version. Dexter is a great interviewer so I will now deep dive the back catalogue

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DJ Rap on 22 Years in America, House Music & Life Beyond Jungle
Q: Why did you return to England, and how did the shift affect your creative direction?
I returned because the music scene in the U.S. was shifting, with venues closing down and commercialization taking over. In England, I found a more receptive environment for jungle and house explorations, which allowed me to re-learn production and reconnect with the roots of my sound while building a global community that supports my diverse projects.
DJ Rap on 22 Years in America, House Music & Life Beyond Jungle
Q: How long were you in America for, and how did that move shape your career?
I was in America for 22 years, during which I built a career that included major tours, headline gigs, and a push into different genres. The move brought both incredible opportunities and intense pressure, including the need to navigate contracts and the star system, which taught me to think strategically about where I place my music and how I sustain momentum.
DJ Rap on Raves, Pirate Radio and the Birth of Jungle
Q: How did you start learning to mix and what mentors helped you along the way?
I struggled initially with mixing on tape and vinyl, but meeting Jeff B in a record store changed everything. He taught me the craft at his home, encouraged my piano skills, and we eventually produced together, which launched my transition from performer to producer and artist with a recognizable sound.
DJ Rap on Raves, Pirate Radio and the Birth of Jungle
Q: When you look back at those early 90s years, did you realize you were helping create some new genre of music?
I didn't know I was creating a new genre; we were following a shared, passionate impulse for making and enjoying music. The environment felt like outlaws in a sheriff-less town, and the collective energy ultimately helped shape the direction of the scene rather than any single person deciding it.
Graeme Park on ACCIDENTALLY Becoming a DJ
Q: What makes Haçienda so special to you today?
He reflects on Haçienda's unique culture, its influence on warehouse and club culture, and how the brand has evolved into a long-running club identity with Haçienda Nights and Haçienda Classical.
