Peter Raff didn’t just witness the rise of Australia’s dance music scene — he built it.

In this episode, we sit down with the godfather of Melbourne dance culture to unpack his journey from running wild clubs in the ’80s and ’90s, to co-founding some of Australia’s most iconic music brands — Onelove, Stereosonic, and Kiss FM.

From the sweaty underground rooms of Melbourne to stages that pulled over 200,000 people nationwide, Peter shares the raw stories, early struggles, and chaotic brilliance that shaped Australia’s nightlife.
