In this latest episode of When I Grow Up, Paul sits down with the one and only Lucy Fur. DJ, mum, animal print icon and all-round legend of the UK hard house scene.
Lucy opens up about her humble beginnings, from mixing vinyl in her bedroom on a pair of 1210s bought with a loan, to her first gig in a Herts pub, and eventually smashing main rooms at Frantic and beyond. She shares the ups and downs of coming up as a female DJ in a male-dominated scene and how a cheeky name suggestion from a mate led to the birth of “Lucy Fur”, equal parts devilish pun and fierce branding masterstroke.
The episode dives deep into Lucy’s journey across clubland, her early hustle burning mix CDs with flashy packaging (take notes, marketers), and what it meant to break through in London’s underground dance scene in the early 2000s. Paul and Lucy reminisce on Vicious Circle, vinyl slipmats, clubbing in crop tops, and their memorable back-to-back set at Storm’s Fright Night.
But it’s not all four-deck mixing and Friday night madness; Lucy also gets real about life outside the booth. From raising two young kids on the Gold Coast to juggling family, full-time work in travel, and 25 years behind the decks, she’s a walking reminder that you can still rave (responsibly) after becoming a parent.
Expect laughs, throwbacks, honest reflections, and a healthy dose of nostalgia. Plus, exclusive updates on what’s next for Lucy Fur — and yes, there’s talk of scotch eggs.
