The Prodigy were a large part of pushing me towards electronic music 10 years ago. And it was only last year many of us were lucky enough to catch them right here on Southsea Common at Victorious Festival.

It’s affected a lot of people, so I want to ask those battling their own demons to find a way of expressing yourself – be it through a creative art you’re passionate about or talking to those around you.

Over at The Astoria in Guildhall Walk on Thursday, Concrete return with DJ Hazard. The Birmingham DJ is a drum and bass titan – you’ll be hard-pushed to go to many festivals without hearing anthems Mr Happy or Bricks Don’t Roll!
