This podcast features an international guest, Ben Woods AKA Ben Lost. Ben has one of the most fascinating careers in the UK Dance Music scene, from working in a local music shop to working for one of the most influencial record labels in the world (Hooj Tunes)

We learn about the beginnings of 'Lost Language' where nearly every release sold thousands of copies to the challenging time the whole industry faced when illegal mp3 downloading basically ended Vinyl sales.

Ben had an international Dj career off the back of all the work he did for the labels, he recently he played at the massive trance festival 'Luminosity' and is still gigging regularly to this day.

I really enjoyed this interview Ben was a top guy and I could have listened to him tell stories for hours.
