In the first episode of PRESSED with Malike, Malike and Kevin open the closet and challenge the idea that playing great music is enough.


They get into the difference between taste and curation, the difficulty of delegating a creative vision, the memories and insecurities our closets hold, and what it takes to help every DJ show up as themselves. Along the way: wedding music clichés, the Curate rebrand, and why an unforgettable experience should ignite every sense.

• Why closets are more than places to keep clothes

• Sharing your creative vision without losing someone else’s voice
