Episode 31: EL HORNET

On this episode, we head to Perth, Western Australia to catch up with Paul Harding aka El Hornet, one-third of drum 'n' bass group Pendulum, who met in the metal and punk scene and have since reached huge heights with their hard-driving neurofunk bangers. Paul is a hilarious storyteller and we talk about CB radio, surfing with sharks, trading beer for mixtapes, losing a dead person at a Pendulum show, happy hardcore, his Hornet’s Nest label, being broke in DJ Fresh's London flat making Pendulum's first album and keeping drum 'n' bass punk af.
