In this vibrant episode of The Mixtape, we catch up with Tim Dorney — keyboardist, producer, and founding member of Republica and Flowered Up — for a deep dive into his career at the crossroads of rave culture, indie rock, and 90s pop rebellion.
We rewind to talk about the iconic video clip for “Weekender”, a landmark moment in British music video history that captured the chaotic energy of a generation. Tim shares behind-the-scenes stories from the making of Flowered Up’s cult classic album A Life With Brian, and reflects on the album’s enduring legacy as it returns to the turntable with a new vinyl reissue.
From there, we fast-forward to his explosive time in Republica, where he helped craft anthems like “Ready to Go” that still ignite crowds today. Throughout the episode, Tim opens up about the musical moments that shaped him, curating a personal mixtape playlist of influences—a genre-blending journey through house, punk, new wave, and more.
Tune in for a candid, high-energy conversation full of nostalgia, musical discovery, and a celebration of scenes that changed the sound of the UK forever.
