Neil sits down face-to-face with Russell Small — the Brighton-born DJ and producer whose fingerprints are all over some of dance music's biggest moments. From growing up with undiagnosed ADHD to Grammy nominations and co-producing tracks that hit number one in 19 countries (including a little something for Beyoncé), Russell's story is as raw as it is remarkable.

In this one, they get into it all: the chaos of lockdown revealing a lifetime of wiring he never knew he had, the hyper-focus that fuels his creativity and the numbness that came with the pills he chose to leave behind, the parties at his Brighton house that carried on even when he wasn't there and the career highs that cost him his marriage and years with his son.
