It’s ADE week, the craziest time of the year for DJs and producers, and also the launch of my new book Happy in a Boring Life.
In this episode, Jay joins me straight from Amsterdam to talk about his new sound and rebrand: Melodic Rave. We dive into what it means to start a new chapter in your career, why trusting your gut is everything, and how to stay consistent when no one’s watching.
