Mark Newton has played a defining role in reshaping the global dance music experience, from the festivals we travel to, to the spaces we party in. As the founder of Hideout Festival and a creative force behind Field Day, Snowbombing, Printworks, Depot Mayfield, and Drumsheds, Mark doesn't just book DJs, he builds culture.
In this episode, we dive into what makes a venue or festival great, and how each uniquely impacts dance music culture. We explore the rise of immersive, large-scale venues, the shifting economics of nightlife, and ask whether the festival boom is pushing clubs, and clubbing, into the shadows. We also get into the future of residencies, the challenges of licensing, and what all this means for the next generation of artists and ravers.
