Episode notes

In this episode, Chris Hawkins catches up with DJ, Producer & Author Mark Rae. 

From his early years as a budding scratch DJ in his hometown of Newcastle to his arrival as a student in Manchester where he created his own scene around clubs, record shops and then a record label; Mark has always been a pioneer. His remixes as one half of Rae & Christian made them the people to go to in the mid to late 90s. Mark’s insight into his much honed craft is refreshingly honest and funny even including a shark fishing anecdote which once made him the talk of Tinsel Town!

From club to radio and every other music DJ in between; Chris Hawkins warms up his guests before asking them to pick a set of 5 questions from a box of 45.

In Series 4 Chris lines up eight more episodes of life stories & experiences, tips & techniques, to find out just how the minds of much-loved DJs work.

Guests still to come include Lauren Layfield, Scroobius Pip, Dave Berry & more!
