Control Systems, Soundchecks & Doc Martens | Stuck In A Lift Podcast – Episode 6.

In this episode of Stuck In A Lift, we’re joined by Lionel Hutt from Digital Advanced Control Systems (DAC) for a conversation that somehow moves from control systems and lift safety to bands, soundchecks, and the unmistakable influence of Doc Martens.

It’s proper lift-chat banter, mixing technical insight with music talk, stories from the industry, and the kind of questions that only get asked when you’re stuck between floors. No scripts, no agenda, just honest conversation and a few questionable footwear choices along the way.

Whether you’re into lift control systems, live music, or just fancy a laugh, this episode delivers.
