Marcia Carr. No Tokenism. No Compromise. Just DJ'ing. After 40 years in the Game

This week we’re joined by the incomparable Marcia Carr — a true DJ’s DJ whose four-decade career spans soul, jazz, disco, broken beat and Detroit techno, all rooted in vinyl and pure feeling. In this episode, Marcia takes us deep into the foundations of her journey — from growing up immersed in reggae, Motown and sound system culture, to building a collection of 20,000+ records and carving out her place in a scene that hasn’t always made space for her.We get into some powerful territory, including: how faith reshaped her relationship with music; the reality of rejection, sexism, ageism and colourism in the industry; why she refuses to be tokenised — and the moment she called it out;building her own platform Girlz B Like when doors kept closing; navigating long COVID, health battles and still showing up to the decks and a moment where her set helped pull someone back from the edge.Marcia also shares her approach to DJing with intention — playing music that uplifts, heals and connects, rather than just fills a dancefloor.This one goes deep — expect honesty, wisdom and a whole lot of soul.
