My guest today is the DJ and promoter Louise Chen - who also happens to be my long-time friend! Born and raised in Luxembourg, Louise moved to Paris in her early twenties, where she co-founded the iconic club night, Girls Girls Girls. Since, then she’s built a thriving career DJing at clubs, parties, and festivals worldwide, as well as hosting a regular NTS radio show, CheNTS, from her new homebase of London. Anyone who has heard Louise DJ in a club knows she’s guaranteed to fill a dance floor in minutes, and anyone who has had a conversation with her knows she’s incredibly astute on topics from politics to fashion to her speciality genre, pop culture. My chats with Louise can and do go anywhere -and this one is just a small sampling of her range.

I hope you enjoy it!
