In this episode of Loud & Unfiltered, Josh sits down with Johnno Burgess, co-founder of Bugged Out and one of the most influential tastemakers in British club culture. From producing the legendary Jockey Slut fanzine in early-90s Manchester to launching Bugged Out at Sankeys, booking Daft Punk unmasked, supporting The Chemical Brothers from their earliest DJ sets, and building one of the most enduring club and festival brands in the world — this is electronic music history told by someone who was there.Johnno shares unheard stories from the golden era of clubbing: Daft Punk DJing for expenses, Thomas Bangalter playing live before global fame, hearing Roger Sanchez’s Another Chance for the first time in the booth, and how Bugged Out became a gathering point for techno heads, students, LGBTQ+ ravers and future industry leaders alike.The conversation traces Bugged Out’s evolution from underground Manchester nights to Liverpool superclubs, Fabric residencies, electroclash moments, and the rebirth of the Bugged Out Weekender, now celebrating over 30 years as a cultural institution. Along the way, Johnno reflects on community, musical cycles, the power of instinct over hype, and why underground culture continues to matter more than ever.Subscribe to Loud&Unfiltered for more unfiltered conversations with music industry leaders, innovators, and cultural entrepreneurs and connect with us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jukeboxpr/Key Moments:
