ARE WE ON AIR ?

Shot live from Are We On Air?’s window takeover at Selfridges, Arman sits down with Allie X for a candid reflection on creative independence, persistence, and building a pop world from instinct rather than permission.From Disney soundtracks and classical training to punk rebellion, post-punk devotion, and learning to produce her own music, Allie traces the long, nonlinear path behind her sound and visual language. She speaks openly about rejection, resisting traditional record deals, and the slow confidence that comes from seeing a vision through before anyone else does.With her latest album Happiness Is Going To Get You now out, the conversation circles discipline, identity, and what it means to finally have the freedom to turn ideas into form.(00:00) Introduction and Welcome(00:30) Ali X’s Musical Journey(02:09) Early Musical Influences(03:49) Musical Heroes and Inspirations(07:22) Touring and Career Milestones(19:26) Advice for Aspiring Artists(22:05) Conclusion and Final ThoughtsEp 123 // ALLIE Xhttps://areweonair.com/

Shot during Are We On Air?’s takeover at Selfridges, Arman sits down with nightlife icon Jodie Harsh for a candid conversation on club culture, creativity, and community. From noughties London nightlife to today’s Instagram-driven dance floors, Jodie reflects on how technology reshaped going out, why nightlife is instinctual rather than disposable, and how culture continually reinvents itself. She shares her earliest musical memories, the tracks that define her as an artist, and the thinking behind her new book 'You Had to Be There: An Odyssey Through Noughties London, One Night at a Time'. The conversation moves through DJ life, queer visibility, party-making as world-building, and Jodie’s Friday-night institution Feel It. Expect reflections on music discovery, unforgettable club stories, and why dancing together will never go out of style.(00:00) Introduction to Are We On Air ?(00:28) Meeting Jodie Harsh(00:41) Reminiscing About London’s Nightlife(03:03) The Evolution of Nightlife and Social Media(05:59) Jodie Harsh’s Musical Journey(15:39) Creating a Unique Party Experience(20:10) Upcoming Book Tour and Final ThoughtsEp 122 // JODIE HARSHhttps://areweonair.com/
