Jason Fubar on why the system is broken and dance music Is harder than ever

The System Is Broken: Why Dance Music Is Harder Than Ever | Jason FUBAR
In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with Jason FUBAR, a long-time DJ, promoter, and rave scene grafter who has lived every era of dance music culture first-hand.
Jason has been part of the scene for over 35 years. From the early rave days in Blackpool to superclubs, festivals, bars, the Royal Navy, Ibiza, Mallorca, and booking future superstars before they were even known, he’s seen the industry evolve from the inside.
This conversation is a reality check on why dance music feels broken right now.
We talk honestly about rising costs and shrinking margins, exclusivity deals, micro-venues versus mega clubs, and why promoters are being squeezed harder than ever. Jason also shares stories from running bars and festivals, touring internationally, and witnessing UK rave culture being built from the ground up.
This is not nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake.It’s about the current reality, what has changed, and what still makes dance music special after 30+ years.
🎧 Take your time with this one.
We talk about:
■ Why it now costs more to make less money in dance music■ Rising overheads, ticket pricing, and the real pressure promoters face■ How exclusivity deals are damaging local scenes■ Why small 200–300 capacity parties are making a comeback■ Social media, trolling, and the abuse aimed at DJs and promoters■ DJ culture then vs now, and why the scene feels different■ Ibiza, BCM Mallorca, and the Balearic circuit■ The Syndicate Blackpool and the superclub era■ Why originality in music is disappearing■ What still makes dance music worth fighting for

Ian Van Dahl on the pressure & reality of making timeless dance music

Ian Van Dahl on the pressure, politics, and reality of making timeless dance music
Few tracks define an entire generation of club culture quite like Castles in the Sky. For many, it was a soundtrack to first nights out, Ibiza summers, and the emotional peak of late-90s and early-2000s trance.
In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I’m joined by Ian Van Dahl to revisit the story, sound, and legacy behind one of the most influential dance music projects of its era.
We explore the rise of euphoric trance at a time when clubs were built on emotion, release, and collective energy. From early aliases and studio pressure to record label politics and creative control, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what it really took to create records that still resonate decades later.
This is not nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake.It’s about understanding why this music mattered, why it connected so deeply, and why it continues to hit differently today.
If you lived through the golden era of trance, this will resonate.If you are discovering this music for the first time, this episode offers vital context into a moment when dance music felt truly timeless.

Lisa Good on life after Ibiza

What happens after Ibiza?
For many, Ibiza is a moment in time.For others, it becomes a turning point that quietly shapes everything that follows.
In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I’m joined by Lisa Good, a former Manumission performer, to explore what life really looks like after the lights come up and the music fades.
We begin where it all started.The Manumission years.The madness, the freedom, and the surreal experience of living in Ibiza during one of its most iconic cultural eras.
But this conversation goes deeper than nostalgia.
Lisa shares the journey that came after Ibiza, how travel, the ocean, and a series of life-changing experiences led her away from the party world and towards a new purpose rooted in environmental action, community, and long-term legacy.
This is not a charity pitch.It’s an Ibiza story that didn’t end when the island chapter closed.
At its core, this episode is about evolution.How a place like Ibiza can change you, challenge you, and quietly influence the rest of your life in ways you don’t always recognise at the time.
If you lived through Ibiza in the late 90s and early 2000s, this will resonate.If you’ve ever wondered what happens after a life built around music, freedom, and excess, this conversation is for you.

Katie Knight on documenting Ibiza before social media took over

Who documented Ibiza before everyone had a camera?
Before podcasts, before social media, and long before everyone had a camera in their pocket, Ibiza’s club culture was documented by a small group of presenters, hosts, and storytellers working quietly behind the scenes.
In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with Katie Knight, one of the most influential yet often overlooked voices in dance music media, to explore how Ibiza’s club history was captured during its most important years.
From her early days at Amnesia Ibiza to hosting interviews for Amnesia TV, Boiler Room, Ibiza Global Radio, the International Music Summit, and live broadcasts for Amazon Music, Katie has spent over a decade documenting the artists, venues, and moments that shaped Ibiza and the global electronic music scene.
This conversation pulls back the curtain on the media side of dance music. We talk candidly about working inside Ibiza’s clubs during the 2010s, being thrown into high-pressure interviews with artists like Carl Cox, Marco Carola, and Steve Aoki with little or no preparation, and why presenters and hosts play a critical role in preserving dance music history.
We also explore career advice for aspiring presenters and podcasters, the importance of communication and public speaking, the realities of live broadcasting, radio versus filmed interviews, cultural and language fluency in Ibiza, online abuse in the modern era, and why nostalgia-driven storytelling resonates more than hype.
This is not an episode about trends or algorithms.It’s about legacy, documentation, and the responsibility to tell the story properly.
If you care about Ibiza, club culture, dance music history, or the people who built the scene behind the scenes, this episode is essential listening.

Neil Kemp on DJing at the World’s highest altitude for charity

The world’s highest DJ set and the story behind it
In 2018, a team from Last Night A DJ Saved My Life made dance music history.
Alongside Nightmares on Wax, the LNADJ crew climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and performed what was, at the time, the highest-altitude DJ set ever recorded, all to raise money for children in need.
The challenge raised thousands of pounds, funded a new housing unit for a special-needs children’s home in Tanzania, and has since been turned into a full two-hour documentary titled Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.
In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with Neil Kemp, the LNADJ filmmaker who climbed alongside the team, carried the cameras up the mountain, battled 10 per cent oxygen, freezing temperatures, and exhaustion, and ultimately brought this record-breaking moment to life on screen.
This conversation goes far beyond the headline.
We talk about the realities of filming at extreme altitude, the technical and physical challenges of DJing on a mountain, the emotional moments that unfolded during the climb, and how a charity-led idea turned into a powerful piece of dance music history.
The record itself has since been surpassed, but the purpose, impact, and legacy of this climb remain unmatched.
This is not a hype story.It’s a story about commitment, creativity, and using dance music culture to create real-world change.
🎧 Take your time with this one.
We talk about:
🎚️ How the 2018 world-record DJ set happened
🏔️ The technical nightmare of DJing at extreme altitude

Lisa Good on why Manumission will never be repeated

If you lived, worked, or partied in Ibiza during the 90s or early 2000s, you already know her name. If you didn’t, this episode offers one of the most honest insider accounts of Ibiza’s most outrageous era.
In this episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with Lisa Good, one of the most creative and unforgettable characters to ever work in Ibiza nightlife.
Lisa takes us deep inside the world of Manumission, a party still regarded by many as the greatest clubbing experience of all time. From the raw creativity of the entertainers to the madness inside Privilege, Space, and the old San Antonio West End, this conversation captures Ibiza’s golden years exactly as they were lived.
We trace Lisa’s journey from being bullied as a teenager to finding escape in rave culture, Spiral Tribe festivals, Club UK, and eventually booking a Teletext ticket to Ibiza in 1994. Arriving alone, she found a family in the West End and was accidentally pulled into Manumission after walking in with painted costumes, vegetables, and no plan. Only in Ibiza.
Lisa shares vivid, never-before-heard stories about backstage chaos, the entertainers, the dressing rooms, the rubber chicken, the Coca Loco tree, Dennis Rodman, Space Tuesday carry on, Ibiza Uncovered, the end of the West End era, and friendships that lasted a lifetime.
This episode also reflects on the cultural shift from pre-social-media Ibiza to the modern VIP era, and why the freedom, creativity, and sense of belonging of that time can never truly be recreated.
If you lived through San Antonio in the mid-90s, worked a season, partied at Privilege when Manumission ruled the island, or simply want to understand why Ibiza changed so many lives, this conversation will resonate deeply.
This is not revisionist nostalgia.It is one of the most detailed interviews ever recorded about the creativity, escapism, and human energy that defined Manumission and a generation of club culture.

Pete Bennett on life after fame, Big Brother success, and finding purpose through music

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Dexter Jones Podcast, I sit down with Pete Bennett to explore the raw, unfiltered reality of his life after reality television.
Best known as the unforgettable winner of Big Brother UK, Pete opens up about what really happened once the cameras stopped rolling. From sudden fame and media pressure to anxiety, grief, and losing close friends, this is Pete as you have never heard him before.
We trace his story from growing up in South London and living with Tourette’s from a young age, through bullying, isolation, and finding escape in music. Pete talks candidly about how creativity became therapy, how meditation helped him regain control, and how hitting rock bottom ultimately led him back to his true purpose.
The conversation then turns to his unexpected second chapter. Almost by accident, Pete found himself producing hard house, reconnecting with rave culture, and eventually signing music to Tidy Trax. Blending punk vocals with hard dance energy, he is now building a new career as a DJ and producer, preparing for major UK events and a full album release.
This episode is not about reality TV nostalgia.It is about resilience, identity, and how music can genuinely save your life.

Stevie Vayne, known globally as Stevie Hulme, is one of the most influential yet quietly overlooked figures in electronic music, punk culture, and Ibiza nightlife.

We dive deep into the realities of sexism and misogyny in dance music, the blurred line between ghost production and engineering, and why so many artists feel pressured to fake success in an era driven by filters, metrics, and vanity numbers.
