Calling DJ Flight a legend would be an understatement. She is widely regarded as one of the foundations of Drum & Bass. Flight is a DJ, Radio Producer, Mentor and Podcaster hailing from the UK. To name all her accomplishments, we would have to write a book.
It therefore is no surprise that we are excited to see her on the line-up of Curated by Coco Bryce on Saturday the 27th of May at Melkweg. Tune in for a very entertaining conversation about her past, constant battle for equality and passion for music.

Based on these tracks Kasra tells his story. 'How did the collaboration come to be?' 'What moved you to sign this track?' 'What are the hurdles you have come across running a label?' These are all examples of questions that cross the board during this hour long conversation with this legend. Let's dig deep...
