In our second sit down with DJ Design, we cover his experiences with his group, running a label Look Records, and when it all falls down.

Get the lowdown on why he had such a good run producing, what led to Foreign Legion getting management, and what went wrong with the Beastie Boys remix. And what happens when everything you loved disappears and you have to start again.

This is an honest and revealing insight into one artist’s experiences for the good, and for the bad, respect to Design for sharing so much.
