Calling DJ Flight a legend would be an understatement. She is widely regarded as one of the foundations of Drum & Bass. Flight is a DJ, Radio Producer, Mentor and Podcaster hailing from the UK. To name all her accomplishments, we would have to write a book.

It therefore is no surprise that we are excited to see her on the line-up of Curated by Coco Bryce on Saturday the 27th of May at Melkweg. Tune in for a very entertaining conversation about her past, constant battle for equality and passion for music. 

On Friday the 31st of March 'Curated by' hosts the VISION labelnight at Melkweg. In the run-up to the party we had a chat with labelboss Thys about his post Noisia career. We talked about his EP 'Shoulder to Shoulder', his hunger for clubmusic, production collabs, AI and producing a flamenco album. Tune in for an indepth conversation with one of the most skilled and creative producers around!

In the run-up to The North Quarter labelnight during Amsterdam Dance Event we had a chat with labelboss Lenzman. We talk about his teen years in Leiden, discovering Hip Hop and becoming a rapper. His life changed when he discovered drum and bass during his trips to England. It was the beginning of a success story. From doing a tour in Asia with only one release to being one of the key figures in the scene. It is and has been an interesting ride. Tune in!

SP:MC is the first MC to feature in a Curated by Podcast. We sat down with Stew and had a long and in depth conversation about his passion and development as an artist and label owner. From mix tapes to mix cd's, his breakthrough thanks to MC GQ, touring the globe with Friction, fusing drum & bass and dubstep in a garage framework and much more. Enjoy!

FD is our guest for this episode. He has an impressive career in the Drum & Bass scene. From raver to promoter and from artist to agent; he's done it all! We talk about his past, moving from London to Berlin and Zurich, career highlights, lessons learned and what we can expect from him on The North Quarter. Tune in!

Our guest for the 7th installment of the Curated by Podcast is Brighton born and bred Jack Stevens aka Workforce. As one half of SpectraSoul he is one of the key figures of the drum & bass scene since 2006. In this podcast we talk about his years as an early raver, successes and split up with SpectraSoul. But also about the creative process, the struggles and his forthcoming album titled 'Set and Settings' on his 'Must Make' imprint.

Unfortunately the sound quality of this episode isn't as good as you're used from us. Sorry for that! We'll make it up in the next one. 

From Detroit, Chicago and San Francisco to Amsterdam. Submorphics has made his name with his soul drenched tunes, warm grooves and soulful vocals. Since quite some years as one of the main men at Lenzman's The North Quarter. And finally with us in the 'Curated by' podcast with stories about the US, producing and his view on The Netherlands. 

We spoke to DJ, producer and label manager Coco Bryce in his hometown Breda. For a long time he has been involved in electronic music in all kinds of ways. Keyword for us? Jungle. But he has so much more to tell about that. This one is about squat parties, numerous alter egos and decades of musical experience. Let's go!

The man with the fabulous moustache (or not?): Waeys. For this episode we sat down with the Dutchman at the Mezz venue in Breda. Talking about the musical influence of his dad, the recognizable foghorn and winning The Best Newcomer Award at the Drum & Bass Awards 2020. And of course, so much more. 

We invited rising star of the future Buunshin for the Curated by Podcast in Melkweg Amsterdam We talked about many things. What about his special connection to Imanu, the story behind his name and collaborations with producers like DJ Fresh? Enjoy the ride.

Let's kick off with one of our all time favorites: Dutch legend Nymfo. We talked to him about the Red Zone parties he did with Martyn in Eindhoven, about Goldie sending him the weirdest voice memos and his current projects such as Road Kahan and mentoring young producers like Edlan.
