From acid house and record shops to ADHD, autism and redefining success in dance music...
In this episode of The Artist Breakthrough Podcast, Pete sits down with legendary DJ, producer, journalist and author Harold Heath to explore his remarkable journey through over 30 years of electronic music culture.
Harold shares how he discovered DJing through record collecting, built a career in the early house and tech-house scenes, and why some of his most celebrated records were created with little more than second-hand gear and instinct. He also opens up about receiving an ADHD and autism diagnosis later in life, how neurodiversity shaped his career, and why he believes DJ culture has always been a place where different minds can thrive.
The conversation dives into creativity, record shop culture, social media, the changing definition of success, and why a life spent doing what you love is worth more than any headline slot.
Whether you're a DJ, producer, artist or simply passionate about dance music culture, this episode is packed with wisdom, perspective and inspiration.
