TRUE HOUSE STORIES® W/ RISK ASSESSMENT # 153 INTERVIEWED BY LENNY FONTANA

In a standout episode of True House Stories, we spotlight the extraordinary journey of UK producer and DJ icon Risk Assessment (Glyne Brathwaite) a commanding presence in global dance music since the early 1990s. From the legendary halls of Ministry of Sound and Pacha to the electrifying energy of Fabric and the Miami Winter Music Conference (WMC), his career has been etched across some of the most influential stages in club culture.

In the early 2000s, Brathwaite spearheaded Rude Awakening Promotions, curating cutting-edge music through his promotion skills that helped shape a generation of nightlife. After stepping away in 2007 to dedicate himself to fatherhood, he made a powerful return in 2014 under his Risk Assessment banner quickly reestablishing his place in the scene with releases on Stereo:type, Househead London, Reel People Music, and other respected imprints.

Today, Risk Assessment stands as a master craftsman of modern house his productions celebrated worldwide for their precision, depth, and unmistakable signature. Yet behind the global acclaim lies a profound personal narrative.This episode unveils the discipline, resilience, and unwavering devotion to family that have defined his path, offering a rare glimpse into the man behind the music.


There's a whole world of rhythm and soul behind the tracks that fill dancefloors, and True House Stories opens the door to it. Hosted by the respected DJ and producer Lenny Fontana, this isn't just a series of conversations; it's an oral history project for a genre built on feeling. Each episode sits down with a different architect of the sound-DJs, producers, vocalists, and label founders-to pull back the curtain on the moments that shaped everything. You'll hear the unvarnished, sometimes messy, reality of how classic records came to be, the late-night studio sessions that turned into anthems, and the personal journeys intertwined with the music's evolution. Fontana, speaking from a lifetime inside the scene, guides these discussions with a genuine curiosity, ensuring the stories remain candid and often surprising. Tuning into this podcast feels like finding a lost archive of club culture, where every interview adds another essential layer to our understanding of house music's enduring pulse. It’s for anyone who has ever felt a four-on-the-floor beat and wondered about the people and passion that put it there.
