Lockdown was a weird time for all of us. So many good intentions, so many regrets afterwards at not having done much except put on weight and watched a ton of Netflix. NIKS, our guest this week did not fall into the Duolingo trap in 2020, and was instead a leading member of the team who launched Black Bandcamp which subsequently became the Black Artist Database. So of course we discuss that, and also many of the issues around why such a thing is necessary. But we also get deep into her backstory as a station manager on student radio, working the door at key venues in London, and learning the ropes as a producer. This is a great conversation with someone who makes things happen... you're gonna enjoy it!Join us in the Hotflush Discord Server.Listen to all (most of) the music discussed on the show via the Not A Diving Podcast Spotify playlistFollow Scuba: twitter instagram bandcamp spotify apple music beatport
