21-11-2022 • 1 hr 5 mins

Are you ready to take a trip down memory lane with a man who has been in love with music his whole life? Join us as we sit down with Darran Bruce, a seasoned TV news broadcaster and devout fan of nightclubs. Darren takes us on a musical journey of his lifetime, reminiscing about the 70s disco and 80s pop, rap music, grunge, and beyond. From his first job at a record store to his current fondness for downtempo ambient music, Darren's passion for music is infectious and will surely resonate with fellow music junkies.

As we navigate the evolving landscape of rave culture and electronic music festivals, Darran shares his experiences attending raves in Seattle and festivals like Burning Man. We ponder over the rise of 'bro culture' in the US and its impact on rave attire. We also discuss the social implications of our increasing reliance on social media and its impact on mental health. Wrapping up our chat, we take on the life-altering advice of Alan Watts on finding happiness and the power of music to provide a sense of catharsis. Join us for an enthralling chat with Darran Bruce, a man whose life and love for music are as rich and diverse as the tunes he adores.
