In this episode I talk to the wonderful Verity Raphael.
Verity is a music journalist based in London. She is the founder of Rave Report, an independent platform dedicated to the celebration of underground music communities. She has also written for the prestigious dance music platforms Knowledge Magazine and Data Transmission.
In her day to day job she is a Content Marketing Manager.
Her mission is to promote underground music communities from all around the world that you may not have heard of and amplify their voice.

I must say, that there is something really special about connecting with another woman on a mission and having such real conversations.
We talk about Verity's journey in music, our shared love for drum and bass and the importance of documenting its history. We also address some of the toxicity in the drum and bass scene and how we could create a more inclusive, global view of it by including more perspectives from different countries. She also shares some useful marketing tips on how to make most of your social media.
Hope you'll enjoy our courageous chat and that you'll have some useful take-aways from it.
