334) Jezza & Jod - From Illegal Raves to Ibiza Superclubs

Today’s conversation is with Gio Vezza and Jordan O’Donnell, better known as Jezza & Jod. Two of Scotland’s fastest-rising DJs, producers, and co-founders of the PRTY collective. From grassroots raves during lockdown to performing at Hi Ibiza, The Hydro, NRG Tenerife, and The Arches, their story is a blend of passion, persistence, and partnership. Beyond the decks, they’ve built one of the most recognisable event brands in the country, launched their own nightclub Tempo, and created a movement that’s redefining Scottish club culture. In this episode, we go behind the music to explore how it all began, the discipline behind the madness, and what it really takes to scale from bedroom sets to international stages.
