Description

In this deep-dive episode of One More Tune, Dexter Jones sits down with Damion Pell, founder and editor of Decoded Magazine, international DJ, journalist, and long-standing voice in the underground electronic scene.


From his early rave days in Australia to building one of the world’s leading independent digital magazines, Damion shares an unfiltered look at music journalism, AI in media, cancel culture, and how the dance music landscape has evolved over three decades.


Expect raw honesty, industry insight, and nostalgic club stories that span from Ministry of Sound to Australia’s illegal raves, the clickbait wars, and the rise of AI-generated press.


If you care about dance culture, independent voices, and the real challenges facing artists, labels, and promoters today, this is essential listening.
