Charissa not one male or female in the early rave days didn’t really fancy DJ Rap. First though Everybody in the scene DJs All the bands that were around always had huge respect for your DJ skills & whall what a proper DJ you are with many great skills on the decks. None of this just because she’s good looking like the many women DJs around today. DJ Rap was always a great DJ First & foremost with her looks made her even more attractive. Loved some sets I saw from her in 91/93 at Rezerection & Amnesia. A true respected pioneer of the scene & and real raver at heart. Still your absolutely gorgeous & your DJ & Producing skills have never been in doubt. Gorgeous & a very talented woman. Massive Respect due had the ultimate experience of meeting you being in the same event with you backstage in August 1993 @ Rezerection event 1 outdoor party Edinburgh. 👍🕊️👍. ❤️✊❤️

Solid interview! Started my journey going to Goldiggers in Chippenham Wiltshire. Used to visit the various traveler sites in the UK and get clear capsules of MDMA, then it was Blue Dolphins. So smooth those pills, felt really at ease at Goldgiggers on them. After that I found the stuff I got started to get a bit messy/trippy. Think I just caught the end of the best days of it. Went to the jungle nights at The Brunel Rooms many times, was real fun but my god the pills I was getting were so damn messy and a bit rough. Still felt amazing but not like the early days for me.

THAT was fucking awesome!!!! I knew it would be good, but not THAT good. Can't wait for Part 2. Rap is a true pioneer, a brilliant artist outright (forget gender..), a strong personality and a fighter/suceeder. Great DJ, unbelievable producer (Spiritual Aura is arguably one of the best Jungle tunes of all time and certainly one of my favs..) and all round good person. Well done Tom, these podcasts and interviews are the nuts, but this one has really been so enjoyable and I love Rap's cheekiness. She even got you blushing ahaha! Thank you Rap for your time - you are a legend of the Scene, no question. Superb job guys. I'm gonna donate something in early 2021, because money has been tight and things are turning that corner, I wanna contribute to keeping this going; I bloody love them! :D

I think an interesting one/s if possible would be M-Zone or Fergus, guys who were predominately booked around Hardcore/Happier DJs at various events but were more your Hard Trance/Techno - Loftgroover, Mark EG (the mentalist!) and maybe 3 Dom & Dolphin, these sorts of guys too. Also a few of the unheralded producers from back then too like Dave Charlesworth, Nookie, The Good 2 Bad & Hugly, Sacred, A-Sides; Kev Bird & Waxdoctor etc and definitely Manix and the Reinforced crew! So not too many then lol!

Hi everyone at ROAR! I'm not sure if this might be of interest to anyone or not but I did a follow up interview to this video with with the aim of exploring further into how DJ Rap keeps herself well. . I've also asked DJ Rap what she has been doing since this ROAR interview and the interview ended up going down a number of paths I wasn't expecting. Credit to Tom and everyone at ROAR for their great interviews and without watching this I probably wouldn't have thought to approach DJ Rap. And thanks DJ Rap for allowing me to share the interview to the wider public. Not sure if I'm quite up to Tom's standards of interviewing but had a go! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJDGopZ5p9V8eZY
