In the Season 2 finale of Bare Frequencies, Shona sits down with Dave “Columbo” Jenkins — Music Journalist, Presenter, DJ, Label Founder, and one of the most respected voices in bass music culture.
Across this intimate two-hour conversation, they go deep into work culture, ambition, identity, fatherhood, and what it truly means to build a life inside music.
With decades spent documenting the evolution of rave, jungle, and bass culture — from iDJ Magazine to UKF, Drum&BassArena, Vision Radio, and his own platform 1 More Thing — Dave reflects on creative longevity, the tension between passion and profession, the economics of artistry, and the emotional realities of staying devoted to sound across every season of life.
At its core, this is a conversation about resilience, legacy, and why championing the underdog has always remained central to Dave’s ethos.
A powerful closing chapter to Season 2, and a deep conversation on culture, creativity, and the human story behind a life devoted to music.
