Going out. It’s important. The very reason why Skiddle was founded was to unite people that love events. If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that going out gives us normality, a chance to let go and connect with our community. But is it more than that?

We welcome UK rave scene legend, Bez, to The Going Out Podcast.
We started the conversation by talking about Bez’s first going out experience in his local area of Walkden and jumping between rooms at Pembroke Halls, listening to all genres from disco to northern soul.
We chatted about what it was like for Bez going out during Madchester, the first time he got on stage as a Happy Monday and sharing hotel rooms with Guns N’ Roses.
Bez lets us know how he’s found the lockdowns spending time with friends and family, the reason behind new projects such as Buzzin with Bez and his latest venture into horseracing called “Bez’s Racing Club”.

For episode 5 of The Going Out Podcast, we welcomed DJ and radio presenter Emerald Rose Lewis.
We chatted about Emerald’s first nights out at Oceana, pub lock-ins and her journey from her first Rinse FM show 6 years ago to now. Emerald explained how she got to tour with music powerhouse, M.I.A, and how she’s adapted her ‘Afters’ series across the pandemic.
We loved chatting with Emerald and hearing more about her plans for playing at events after lockdown ends, and how she’s feeling about stepping into that very first venue...

S2 Ep4 - Josh White (Hybrid Minds)

Monday Mar 15, 2021
This week we welcome Josh White to The Going Out Podcast, one member of the English, electronic DJ and production duo, Hybrid Minds.
We chatted about Josh’s first experiences of drum and bass, travelling into London to go to DnB nights at Fabric, and raves in empty fields with friends. Josh speaks of his time studying how other DJs mixed their tunes before he himself turned to the decks, the atmosphere in New Zealand's huge drum and bass scene, his and Matt’s passion for liquid and the up and coming DJs they’re excited about.
This episode is filled with some great insight into how they add the incredible lyrics to their DnB songs such as ‘Touch’, the importance of trialling their music out before a crowd and what happens when they book an MC that doesn’t know when to shut up…

S2 Ep3 - Serra Petale (Los Bitchos)

Monday Mar 08, 2021
The Going Out Podcast continues this week with Serra Petale, one-quarter of the psychedelic meets Cumbia band, Los Bitchos - think, ‘Sims, Elevator, Caribbean Cruise’ vibes…
Originally from Perth, we chatted about Serra’s first going out experiences in Australia - we’re talking 45-degree festivals and life as an Aussie fresher - then we dove into life in her current residence, London Town. We found out Serra’s ideal night (no spoilers here) and what going out in life is like on the road (again, no spoilers).
This episode is filled with so many great stories from touring with Mac Demarco to the formation of the group. We left nothing untouched in this conversation, from musicals to gluten-free beer. We covered it all and one thing is for sure, being in a girl band is everything that we dreamed of.
By the end of the conversation we wanted to adopt Serra as a fellow Mancunian, mainly for her love of the city and respected fangirling nature for YES bar in Manchester, the perfect night you could say, with the music space (aka the PINK room) sandwiched in between two bar floors. What more could you ask for?

Monday Mar 01, 2021
The Going Out Podcast is on a roll with our 2nd episode of series 2, and this week we welcome Defected’s first lady, Sam Divine.
An incredible DJ, label owner and radio presenter, Sam Divine chats about growing up in Weston Super Mare going to old school raves, her very first experiences in Ibiza which then led to many seasons working alongside the world’s biggest DJs, and going out in many of London’s now shut-down venues.
Sam’s outlook on life is super positive, and she discusses how DJing and the lifestyle that sits alongside the job has contributed towards some of her lowest moments, but also some of her biggest pinch-me moments too.
