    Podcast Overview: In this conversation, Will Clarke sits down with Charlie Tee to unpack the realities of drum and bass today, from money and industry pressure to the complicated idea of “selling out.” Charlie opens up about radio, raving, mental health, and why performing on stage feels easier than navigating everyday social situations. They also dive into ticket sales, social media stress, and the responsibility artists feel to preserve underground culture while still building sustainable careers.


    Who is Charlie Tee: Charlie Tee is a DJ, broadcaster, journalist, and deeply proud music nerd who represents the inclusive, forward moving energy reshaping dance music today. As BBC Radio 1’s first full time female drum and bass specialist, she brings deep roots across genres, shaped by years at Kiss and a career built on connecting sounds, scenes, and communities. Through her Radio show, Unitee events, Record label, and DJ Sets, Charlie has consistently championed emerging talent while pushing electronic music forward without losing its foundations. Her work is driven by genuine passion, sharp musical understanding, and a belief that rave culture should be accessible, diverse, and built to last.
