Phil Taggart loves discovering new bands with guitars. Now it's time for Kutski to educate him in dance! Can he survive glow sticks at 4.00am in the morning?

Phil Taggart loves discovering new bands with guitars. Now it's time to educate him in dance!

Radio 1's king of hard dance and savior of rave, Kutski, takes Phil under his wing and introduces him to the music he loves. Firstly, the punk and indie lover is sent to Northampton where he meets Gammer, one of the UK's leading hardcore producers. He tells Phil all about the music he makes and together they work on a track of their own. Kutski then sends MC Storm to join the pair and Phil learns how to work a crowd at a live event and also how to write lyrics, which they then record.

Before he knows it, Phil is sent to Leeds, where he experiences the music first-hand, as it's meant to be heard - in a club full of ravers - before he's finally allowed back to his bed.

Does Phil lose his skinny jeans and pick up the glow sticks? Does he renegade on his love of rock in favour of 200 beats-per-minute, hands-in-the-air dance music? Or does he find himself the Odd One In throughout the whole process?

Part 3 of a 3 part series - listen to the whole series again via the BBC iPlayer until Monday 4th February.
