In episode 14 we’re joined by DJ Tina Technotic, a late-blooming techno DJ whose journey into electronic music began in her mid-fifties after re-discovering the power of the dancefloor. While recovering from major foot surgery in 2023 she began learning to mix, and today she brings energetic sets to venues across London, as well as internationally, blending rave culture with her wider mission around health, longevity and human connection.

Tina is the co-founder of Longevity Rave with DJ Yukari, and she also leads the JoyScore Experiment, a global open-science project exploring how rhythm, movement and collective joy influence the brain, body and long-term health.

In this episode we talk to Will Kayll, who is influenced by 80s music and the original sound from the The Summer of Love. He always keeps the dance-floor moving and takes inspiration from A Guy Called Gerald, Frankie Knuckles and Kariya, amongst others, and loves to modernise timeless classics while keeping true to the original sound.

Last summer saw the second year of The Riddle stage at Wildernss, which is the brainchild of Will and co-curator Jemima Howden, who met when Will played the festival when he was just 17 years old. Billed as a space for young creatives to showcase their talents within a safe environment, they encourages genuine human connection and there is a no-phone policy to inspire people to really live in the moment.
