  • The Meffs | New Music, New Era & Hitting the Road with Joan Jett | DJ Force X Podcast Ep 340

    In this episode, Lily from The Meffs talk all things Business — their explosive new album and its lead single that takes aim at identity, pressure, and the chaos of modern life. We get into the writing, the politics, the vulnerability behind the noise, and how a two‑piece can sound like a full‑scale riot.


    We also chat about their newly announced tour with Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, life on the road, and what’s coming next for one of the UK’s most exciting bands.

  • Deadwax | Nu-K EP, Collabs & The Rise of British Nu Metal | DJ Force X Podcast Ep 338
    Apr 18 2026

    Deadwax join me on the DJ Force X Podcast to dive into their new EP NUK — a release that blends UK nu metal, drum & bass, grime, dubstep and heavy riffs into something genuinely fresh. We get into the making of the EP, how the collaboration came together, and why the UK’s heavy scene is evolving fast.


    We talk about the Leeds roots of the band, the return of dubstep, the crossover between electronic music and metal, and the artists who shaped their sound. The guys break down tracks like Bang On, Famous Style, Aftershock, Big Man, Frequency and more, plus we look at their upcoming live dates including Dive Festival, Bristol, Brighton, London, 2000 Trees, Burn It Down and more.


    We also chat about the new wave of British heavy bands — Seething Akira, Blackgold, Profiler, Wrex, Pulveriser and others — and how Deadwax fit into this rising movement.


    A great conversation with a band pushing boundaries and bringing something new to the UK heavy scene.


    Deadwax – NUK EP out May 15th.
