  • Jonas Blue: The formula for global hits
    Dec 2 2025

    I sit down with multi-platinum DJ and producer Jonas Blue to unpack how he creates worldwide anthems - from the melodies and emotions behind each track to the moments that shaped his career.

    We go from mixing Adidas with Nike to the moment he nearly quit music, and what pulled him back.

    We get into:

    • Swapping grey London for sunny Miami - and why he doesn’t miss London at all
    • Summers in Ibiza, living in the north and avoiding hangovers
    • Edge of Desire becoming one of the most Shazamed tracks in Ibiza 2025
    • The wild story of Malive nearly quitting before their collab changed his life
    • How Club Reps made him want to DJ at age 11
    • Fast Car turning 10, fans who grew up with his music and dealing with pressure
    • The advice he got from Calvin Harris when he lost direction during COVID
    • Keeping his sound credible for the dancefloor while dominating the global charts
    • Why writing a great song is so difficult - and why melody is everything
    • His dream to create a Balearic / Zero 7 / Air-inspired album
    • The creepiest fan gift he’s received (a whole book of baby photos)
    • His no-phones guestlist rule
    • Where he’s heading next and what keeps him inspired

    If you love dance music, Ibiza stories, songwriting breakdowns, and hearing the human side of huge artists, this episode is for you.
