Recorded in Don Letts’ creative bunker at the bottom of his West London garden, Joining the Dots traces the way artists, athletes, activists, and subcultures have interacted across decades and continents without even realising.
Across the course of this first season, Don sat down to talk with guests as diverse as photographer Guy Martin, skater and artist Ed Templeton, writer and journalist Hattie Collins, and big wave surfer Andrew Cotton.
This week Don sits down with emerging recording artist Georgia. The young musician and producer grew up deeply embedded in the culture of electronic music – her dad Neil Barnes being one half of influential British dance outfit Leftfield. In the conversation Georgia and Don explore what it’s like to be a kid growing up in the beat-centric counterculture of rave – and discover that pop, dance and beats can be intimately intertwined.
