We trace Lloyd’s journey from Bristol vinyl sessions to building Flat Five, a five-floor club designed to feel like a festival every weekend. We unpack how inclusive programming, safe BDSM events, and a 36-hour New Year’s plan are helping grow Taiwan’s underground scene with heart, intention, and craft.
In this episode, we explore:
• building a festival-in-a-club with five floors
• Bristol roots, vinyl practice, and grit in computer science
• moving from engineering to sales to club leadership
• Corner’s legacy, launching B1, and Studio Nine’s impact
• why variety beats single-genre programming in Taiwan
• after parties as a launchpad to full programming
• inclusive events with queer and BDSM communities
• safety, consent, and professional hosting for niche scenes
• New Year’s plan spanning 36 hours with local DJs
• redefining success as happiness and community
