This episode explores the fascinating connection between neurodivergence and club culture — and asks why so many neurodivergent people are drawn to dance music and the dancefloor.

My guest is Harold Heath — DJ, writer and producer — who’s written extensively about this very topic in publications including DJ Magazine. Harold has spent decades in electronic music, both behind the decks and behind the words, and his perspective on what draws neurodivergent people to this world is as thoughtful as it is relatable.

If you’ve ever wondered why the club feels like home, or why DJing itself seems to speak to certain neurotypes, this conversation will hit close to heart.

In this episode, we cover topics including:

The shared experiences between DJs and neurodivergent thinkers.
Why sensory-rich club environments can sometimes feel calming, not overwhelming.
How dopamine, predictability and surprise all play a role in our love of dance music.
The roots of club culture as a space for belonging and inclusion.
What Harold’s own journey through ADHD and autism has taught him about creativity, resilience and self-understanding.
