• The state of underground electronic music in Australia

• Rave culture past vs present

• Brisbane’s scene and community radio

Massive thanks to 4ZZZ and Nam Shub for the platform and the conversation.

In this episode of What’s the BPM?, we sit down with Ed Jenkins — better known as Ed Real — a name deeply woven into the fabric of UK hard dance culture.

From his early days behind the decks to working with Nukleuz Records, co-founding one of the most influential digital music platforms Trackitdown.net, and now stepping into artist management, Ed’s journey mirrors the evolution of electronic music itself.

We talk about:

•The raw energy of the UK rave and hard dance scenes

•What it was really like building Trackitdown during dance music’s digital boom

•The realities of longevity in the music industry

•Reinventing yourself when the rave ends

•And his latest chapter — Ravers to Runners, a movement helping ravers channel that same drive into running and community

This is an honest, behind-the-scenes conversation about culture, identity, burnout, reinvention, and staying connected to what you love — long after the peak years.

If you’ve ever lived for the weekend, the warehouse, or the bassline — this one’s for you.
