The term 'underground hero' is often bandied about the dance scene with not much of a definition and in many cases an inappropriate target. But this week's guest is very much a plausible recipient of the accolade.

A veteran of the techno scene in London since the cutting his teeth as a teenager in the early 90s, Jerome Hill has made the records, played the gigs, run the labels, and served records from the behind the counter of shops including the seminal Dragon Discs in Camden Town.

We get into the mid 90s squat party scene in this episode, a key aspect of UK techno and something which I was very much aware of at the time but didn't experience at all first hand. And we also get a eye witness account of the legendary south London venue Club UK, which was closed down after years of police raids and controversy in 1996.

This is a great conversation with an important figure in UK techno, you're gonna enjoy it!
