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.

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?'
