#28 👿 The UNSEEN Dark Side of Ibiza w/ Emmalena Nesmith
In this raw, emotional, and brutally honest episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Emmalina, once a part of the furniture in Ibiza's community, a fellow recovering alcoholic and now a senior nurse prescriber working in addiction recovery in a UK prison.
Emma has been sober for 15 years now. We have both been through similar struggles, and this is quite possibly the most important interview I will ever do, and I am truly grateful for this opportunity.
We talk about:
🎉 The madness and magic of Ibiza from 2000–2010 🌴
🍺 Drinking culture, blackouts, and invisible lines crossed 🍻
🤒 The moment she woke up with sick in her hair and a tongue swollen “like a tennis ball” 💥
🏥 Losing control, hitting rock bottom, and how she found sobriety in Sweden 🇸🇪
🩺 Life after addiction: parenting, purpose, and helping others find recovery 👩⚕️
🙅♀️ Why AA isn't a cult, and how the 12 steps can change everything 🙏
This is more than a story about addiction; it’s about healing, forgiveness, love, and how recovery can become your greatest superpower.
If you've ever struggled with drinking, or loved someone who has… this one’s for you.
⚠️ Trigger warning: this episode contains discussion of addiction, seizures, and alcohol-related trauma.

#26 🎧 The Judge Jules Story: From DJ To Lawyer ⚖️
In this episode of One More Tune, Dexter Jones sits down with the one and only Judge Jules—a true pioneer of dance music culture.
Before he became a global DJ icon, a BBC Radio 1 legend, and the man behind Judgement Sundays, Ibiza’s longest-running weekly night in San Antonio, Jules was cutting his teeth as an "unlicensed rave promoter" during the wild early days of the UK scene.
We cover it all:
🔥 How he started promoting illegal warehouse parties in London
🎚️ How he rose to the top of the DJ world with residencies at Gatecrasher, Cream, and beyond
🏝️ Running Judgement Sundays for 17 years and shaping the sound of San Antonio
⚖️ Retraining in his 30s to become one of the UK's top music lawyers
💡 Staying relevant across decades in a fast-changing industry
It’s an inspiring conversation packed with stories from the golden age of rave to the realities of navigating the modern music business.
