Flint, who passed away in 2019, played an instrumental role in her career. “He was an icon of dance music. I miss his presence. I was invited to attend his last gig in Brixton. I will regret not attending it.”

Badar is influenced by dance music. “Having been brought up in Kuwait, and subsequently in the UK, I was inspired by world music. I try and incorporate dance styles with a bit of Sufi music in my productions. I draw from various  genres, but aim to create something eclectic; one that people can dance  to. Experimenting with beats opened up new horizons for me, and opened doors to international [collaborations].”
