Academy Award-winning Director Sam Mendes says his life has been “lived out in songs” – from the tune his father sang to him at bedtime to the track that was playing while his first child was born. In his Guest DJ set, he shares a realization inspired by seeing an artist who refuses to cater to his audience, as well as a dance party starter from him school days and a song that defines college rock. Sam’s current project is the movie Away We Go.
