We sit down with Alex Deadman to explore his journey through Sheffield’s underground music scene and the role he’s played behind the scenes in drum & bass and electronic music culture. Alex shares stories from discovering jungle music as a kid, attending early raves, and eventually becoming deeply involved in the scene — from running events and working club doors to helping build early online platforms like Drum & Bass Arena and live streaming raves long before it became normal. We talk about the evolution of jungle, dubstep and drum & bass, the early internet era of music culture, and how Sheffield became an unexpected hub for innovation in the scene.
