BBC Sounds, Music, Radio, Podcasts. BBC Radio One, Minimix. Friday Night, Radio One. I've got a special guest in the studio. Welcome, Alicia. How are you? I'm good. Thanks for having me. This isn't the first time you've been on the show, is it? On your show, it is. What? Who else's show you been on? Sarah's. Oh, she beat me to it. Yes, we did.

Well, I keep's show you've been on? Sarah's.

Oh, she'll beat me to it, damn. Yes, we did. Well, I keep mentioning that you've been on the show, because you were a future star for Radio 1. When was that, the 2020? What, 2020? It was a while ago. It was a blur. You've achieved a lot, and back then you were a newcomer everyone was talking about you very excited

about you as were we but now you know your own brand headlining festivals worldwide what when you

when you'd sort of take a little pause what's been the highlight so far oh honestly it's been it's just

been crazy everything but i think just building unleash really yeah um doesn't get much better than that with your own brand label as you know. So yeah, just taking it to New Heights and yeah, something to be excited about. Fabric, you're going to be taking Unleashed there. Yeah. Full club takeover as well. I know. This ain't just some little one room takeover. I know. We're taking the whole gap. We're doing the whole thing.

So, yeah,

such an amazing achievement for myself and the brand so early on.

So to come back to London and do,

the whole of fabric is pretty amazing.

So, yeah, I've invited some label favorites

and then just some legends that I used to go and rave to at Fabric.

So I think that was important for me. park life you're back I am I feel like you um you've got a loyal and engaged fan base in Manchester yeah I don't know I feel like you play there a lot home away from home I think I always say what is it about the city oh I think the energy in Manchester is just unbelievable every time I play there it's just're really up for it. They're there for the music and just out for a good time. Yeah, exactly. Up the northerners. Yeah, yes, good. Right, let's talk mini-mix. I'm so excited we could finally make this happen. What's the theme, first of all? It is fabric from dance floor to booth. Your own journey? Yeah, I wanted to incorporate everything. So, well, basically a journey through the tunes that you used to listen to the ones that you're playing out, I'm assuming. Yeah, well, I played all night long there in May, Room 1, so I have incorporated some standout tracks from that. Okay, great. Well, let's listen to it together.

This is a Leisha's love letter to fabric, essentially, in a mix.

From dance floor to Boove in the mini-mix.
