Noel Watson: Belfast's Music Icon on Jean-Michel Basquiat, DJing for the Beastie Boys & LL Cool J
Today's episode features a guest I've wanted to have on for a long time. Noel Watson is one of Ireland and Belfast's most successful and innovative DJs and producers. He's walked for Comme Des Garçons with Jean-Michel Basquiat, DJ'd for the Beastie Boys, chopped it up with Rick Rubin and even was once given a Def Jam jacket by the hip hop trio. Living in London in the 80s with his brother, together they threw some of the most iconic illegal warehouse parties the city has ever seen and had guests like Sade, The Clash and more. Whether he meant it or not, Noel always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. Real heads will of course be familiar with this music legend, but in my eyes despite arguably being one of the most influential and successful names in music, art and culture to come out of Belfast, he’s sometimes overlooked in the history books. So I was buzzing to chat with him and give him the flowers he deserves 🌺 Shout out to RiRa for sponsoring this season of the podcast - https://www.ri-ra.beer/Shout out to WHIPITCONALL on making the jingle for the podcast check him out here: Instagram.com/whipitconall Follow me:Instagram - / https://www.instagram.com/deeeemurph/TikTok - / https://www.tiktok.com/@deeeemurphFollow Noel WatsonInstagram - / https://www.instagram.com/noelwatson_97/ Hosted on Acast.

Maverick Sabre on Sault, his pop up shows and Mac Miller shouting him out
This week we had Maverick Sabre hop on the pod shortly after the release of his incredible new album 'Burn The Right Things Down'.We talked about his free pop up gigs he's been performing in bars around the UK and Ireland, how he stays optimistic and the importance of community in the modern age. Mav is as sound as they come and was generous with his time and wisdom. We reeled it right back to when he toured with Snoop Dogg, the tracks he made with Joey Bada$$ and even talked about the time Mac Miller showed him love.
