“You have to trust yourself and just go for it and then make something amazing, right?” 🚀
On the one hand, you could say everything changed for Tim Sweeney five years ago. On 9th March 2021, two decades after he first stepped into WNYU’s basement studio as a student in New York, the DJ signed off from his weekly late-night post at the college radio station for the final time, taking his beloved Beats In Space show with him. With 1,000-plus broadcasts and hundreds of guest mixes under his belt — plus, a prolific label and party series — he was due a well-earned break, but by November he was back in action with a brand new show on
@applemusic , where he’s been thriving ever since.
And really, listen to Beats In Space today and you’ll realise quite quickly that very little has actually changed in that time. Sure, the production value may be higher and the studio may be more high-tech, but at its core the format remains the same as it was when Sweeney started off – you get great guests, you have a good conversation, you play great music. You just go for it.
In conversation with Eoin Murray, the tastemaking presenter and DJ speaks about his 26 years of documenting dance music culture, the pursuit of constant improvement, and inspiring discovery and creativity through his weekly transmissions from NYC.
