| 13 Oct 2020 | S1 Ep 2 : Fatboy Slim | 00:44:53 | |
On this week's episode I'm speaking to a real dance floor pioneer - Fatboy Slim. Known in certain circles as Norman Cook, he's from the first generation of Superstar DJ's, been the go-to guy for huge anthems over the last few decades, and is still a key player in the UK's rich tapestry of nightlife. He's truly royalty here in Cool Britannia, and I'm honoured to bow down and talk to him here on Life of The Party. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| 20 Oct 2020 | S1 Ep 3 : Amy Lamé | 00:40:37 | |
Amy Lamé upped sticks from the States in the early 90’s to immerse herself in London’s nightlife. She’s a leader and collaborator in the creative fields and a huge figurehead of the city’s queer culture - especially via the legendary club night Duckie that she set up with friends twenty five years ago. She’s a radio DJ, a children’s book author, and since 2016 has held the position as London’s first Night Czar - a role that requires her to ensure the city’s nocturnal life is given the care and attention it deserves. From the Jersey Shore to the Mayor’s office on the south bank of the thames via a thousand dance floors, this is Amy Lamé’s Life Of The Party! Hosted on Acast.

| 26 May 2022 | S2 Ep1 : Joel Corry | 00:39:22 | |
You can’t deny Joel Corry is killing it. With a bunch of top 10 singles under his belt - including a number 1 - and a DJ career that’s taken him all over the world, Corry has become a household name. Even your mum’s heard of him! As he triumphs across America with a huge tour, and Ibiza and Vegas residencies this summer, I sat down with him to talk about his nights out both as a punter and as a headline DJ.

| 02 Jun 2022 | S2 Ep 2 : Jessie Ware | 00:47:20 | |
Jessie Ware is, quite frankly, a national treasure. She straddles a music career (What’s Your Pleasure was everyone’s lockdown disco album) and a podcast career - Table Manners with her Mum Lennie is delicious and stratospheric. She’s a gay icon, a foodie and one of the coolest women in music - and I wanted to know everything about her raving days, festival experiences and why she has - shock horror - so far not performed at a Pride!

| 09 Jun 2022 | S2 Ep 3 : DJ Fat Tony | 01:05:27 | |
As one of clubland’s most notorious - and best loved - figures, Tony is a complete force of nature. His book I Dont’t Take Requests shot to the top of the Sunday Times bestseller list, and he’s also been one of my best friends for as long as I can remember. There’s just no way I could have done this podcast without having him on. Here he tells us about nights out across so many different scenes over the decades, of week-long benders and extreme self-destruction - and of recovery, redemption, and the joy of a good tune.

| 16 Jun 2022 | S2 Ep 4 : Tom Grennan | 00:34:06 | |
This week’s guest is as comfortable on a Calvin Harris banger as he is sharing his heart on one of his own indie pop ballads. He’s had a number one album, and he loves a night out. This episode is so fun and it’s a proper deep dive into parties, festivals and clubs, so buckle up!

| 23 Jun 2022 | S2 Ep 5 : The Blessed Madonna | 00:49:32 | |
The Blessed Madonna is the moniker of global selector Marea Stamper. She’s been hot on the scene for a long while now, but it’s the lockdown era that really pushed her into the wider public sphere as she exec-produced Dua Lipa’s Club Future Nostalgia project, and narrated the anthem ‘We’ve Lost Dancing’ with Fred Again… We sat down to chat Chicago club culture, touring life, and what’s in a name… Follow Jodie Harsh: Instagram / TikTok / Twitter / Facebook / Spotify Follow The Blessed Madonna: Instagram / TikTok / Twitter / Facebook / Spotify A Warner Records podcast.

| 30 Jun 2022 | S2 Ep 6 : Tom Daley | 00:49:01 | |
This week we have a true national treasure who’s grown up in the public eye and dived into our hearts. From Team GB to the dance floor, I go in deep with Olympic champion Tom Daley; we talk about coming out, going out, and making time for socialising as an athlete and as a dad!

| 07 Jul 2022 | S2 Ep 7 : Self Esteem | 00:44:07 | |
Rebecca Lucy Taylor is recognisable by her stage name Self Esteem, the inspiration of which comes from the evolution of her confidence. She has spoken about being a woman in music in her 30s, stating she used to lie and say she was 25 and said it took her a "while to be proud" of breaking into the industry later in life. Her lyrics talk about toxic relationships, the patriarchy, and all sorts of other serious things, but with a sharp pop bite. I can’t wait to talk to her about her life via the dance floor.

| 11 Nov 2020 | S1 Ep 6 : Paul O'Grady | 00:53:10 | |
This episode’s guest is an absolute icon. From the country-wide club circuit to TV stardom both in and out of drag, he has an unparalleled career in popular culture. We knew HER as Lily Savage, the rough broad you wouldn’t wanna mess with, and we know HIM as lovely Paul O’Grady, a British entertainment institution. He is the the OG, and boy oh boy does he have some mad nocturnal stories to share! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| 18 Nov 2020 | S1 Ep 7 : Annie Mac | 00:46:40 | |
You'll know this episode’s guest from the airwaves and her beats from the DJ booth. She’s a dance music authority - She started as a punter and has become a rave thrower, a festival owner, a podcaster, an equality campaigner and now an author - not to mention a mum....A very cool mum! She’s a pied piper of fun - and she’s something of a cultural barometer. She asks the nation if we’re Raving or Behaving, and I couldn’t do this podcast without having her on as a guest. Very excited to have Annie Mac on this episode, and explore her Life Of The Party! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| 28 Oct 2020 | S1 Ep 4 : Munroe Bergdorf | 00:42:35 | |
When Munroe Bergdorf speaks, people listen. She's an activist, model and a change maker. We spent much of our twenties together in London's clubland, playing music and hosting parties. These days you're more likely to find her fighting for equality and on the cover of every magazine. She's a juggernaut of social activism, and in this episode we revisit her days on the dance floor and find out how they helped to shape her as a person. Hosted on Acast.

| 25 Nov 2020 | S1 Ep 8 : Nile Rodgers | 00:51:29 | |
This week's guest is epic - If you’ve ever been on a dance floor, you’ve definitely enjoyed his records. It's the legend himself, Nile Rodgers. His music has defined so many eras and it’s soundtracked so many people’s lives. He’s helped shaped the careers of superstars and gave them the songs we love. From Madonna to Bowie, Diana Ross to Daft Punk, and of course his own band, Chic. His body of work has shaken dance floors for decades. He’s survived cancer, drug and alcohol addiction, and a violent backlash against the musical genre he was the star of. He is to this day, the king of the dance floor. Hosted on Acast.

| 01 Oct 2020 | Life of The Party - Trailer | 00:01:11 | |
The best things happen after dark. Nightclubs are the ultimate space for self-expression - they’re a place to discover ourselves, find new friends and fall in love. As humans we like to dance to a beat and there’s nothing like a good night out. I’m a DJ, producer and occasional club promoter. In this series I’m going to be chatting to some of the most exciting people in culture about their nocturnal experiences and how the dance floor has helped shape them and informed their work. Club culture has been paused in 2020, so we’ll be diving into those hazy memory banks and immersing ourselves in the good times, revisiting the sticky dancefloors and the loud music, and exploring what's next for nightlife. Subscribe now and a brand-new episode will be delivered to you every week. Episode 1 drops on the 7th of October and you’re on my guest list. This is Life Of The Party. JH xx Hosted on Acast.

| 06 Oct 2020 | S1 Ep 1 : Róisín Murphy | 00:39:58 | |
My guest this week is a bona fide dance floor icon. She was one half of Moloko, and throughout her 25 year career has released some of my favourite dance music. Her live shows are the stuff of legends - she makes music you can rave to, so much so that she’s even played Berghain. But it’s music with meaning - and her journey through culture is an unconventional path. Her position as an 'odd one out' in the music industry has made her an icon for so many people who feel they don’t fit in to the norm. This woman stands out in a room, and I’m so excited to have her on this episode. Roisin Murphy, this is your Life Of The Party. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| 04 Nov 2020 | S1 Ep 5 : Erol Alkan | 00:38:00 | |
Erol Alkan is an important part of the tapestry in nightlife - it’s difficult to imagine our clubbing landscape without him. He’s a DJ, producer, remixer, club promoter, and founder of Phantasy Sound - the record label. He’s rubbed shoulders with the Armands and the Armins on the top of the DJ of the Year lists, but always stayed true to his core beliefs and tastes. His club Trash, became one of the most influential clubs of its time. This is his Life of The Party... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
