In this episode, Jo Youle sits down at Amsterdam Dance Event with global dance music pioneer Loco Dice to explore the storytelling and return to his hiphop roots with his new album Purple Jam — a project that showcases many new collaborations, community, and plenty of groove.
From his early days in the hip-hop underground to unforgettable back-to-back sets with Carl Cox, Marco Carola, and the DC10 family, Dice shares the moments that shaped his journey and the friendships that continue to push him forward. He opens up about the emotional core of Purple Jam — a record built through connection — and how working alongside his long-time collaborator and album co-producer brought new color and freedom to his sound.
Together, Jo and Dice reflect on:
How Carl Cox’s friendship & mentorship helped define his DJ philosophy.
The balance between discipline and improvisation when playing B2B on stage.
The energy of Ibiza’s DC10 from Cirillo and his early days on the terrace.
It’s a soulful sofa conversation with one of the scene’s most respected artists — a man who continues to innovate without losing sight of where it all began.
