DJ Zimmie interviews veteran DJs, producers and performers to hear their story and hopefully learn about what to do, what not to do and maybe where to eat.
In this episode Buck & I discuss hitting the ceiling in Indianapolis before transitioning to Austin, competing and winning in both Red Bull 3Style and The Goldies, country music DJs, Sony's recent attacks on DJs and pork chops.
I had the pleasure of meeting Sarin during our (DJ Jazzy Jeff) NYE gig at the Northern Bass Festival in Auckland, New Zealand. Her team provided some essential glue to keep the festival running smoothly but also maintained a very family-like vibe. We stayed in contact and had some great conversations about gigs, festivals, the entertainment industry in general and more. She's got 183 job titles and is a total badass. Get your learn on!
"I worked my after school job. I worked way too many hours and got horrible grades to take every penny I made, all throughout high school to go spend it on records." I honestly can't think of one thing in the world of DJing that Trayze DOESN'T do. He's an extremely well rounded DJ, a producer of remixes and original music, a DJ instructor and a 2x world-finalist battle DJ, amongst other things. We rap about his story, the DJ scene and living through the Covid19 lockdown. Stay home, wash your hands and tune in! (please excuse some less-than-stellar audio at times, we were also doing some livestreaming and it got hectic) https://www.djtrayze.com/ •Don't forget to check out other episodes including DJ Jazzy Jeff, Four Color Zack & more! •Tell a friend, give the podcast a good rating, follow / subscribe on iTunes, MixCloud, SoundCloud & Spotify
It's weird how good the DJs in Canada are. I remember getting mixes and edits from The Freshest and the Eh! Team and being blown away. Nick Bike started out DJing on 2 computers running Windows Media Player and now sits perfectly alongside Canada's finest. We discuss figuring your DJ career out as you go, making edits that have ended up in most DJs crates and knowing when to (and when not to) retire songs. http://www.DJNickBike.com •Don't forget to check out other episodes including DJ Jazzy Jeff, Four Color Zack & more! •Tell a friend, give the podcast a good rating, follow / subscribe on iTunes, MixCloud, SoundCloud & Spotify!
Case Bloom's journey to his current position as a staple in the Nashville music scene was a long and windy one. We discuss his tenure in the super dope music market of Philly, building parties that have lasted 12+ years, gentrified foods and of course, the current state of DJing. Case is also the man behind amazing DJ (and non-DJ) bag company Tucker & Bloom (great story). Listen up and if you're in Nashville, do and eat what Mayor Case tells you! www.CaseBloom.net www.Tucker-Bloom.com Don't forget to check out other episodes including DJ Jazzy Jeff, Four Color Zack & more!

Emmaculate is an essential member of the newest generation of house music producers and DJs from Chicago. We discuss growing up as a white suburbanite kid in the shadow of the legendary Chicago music scene, dabbling in production and DJing across both hip-hop and house music as well as the moves he made to position himself alongside legends like the Chosen Few DJs. From his early hip-hop group to his position at T's Box Records with Terry Hunter to producing chart-topping house music, we cover a wealth of knowledge for anyone making moves in the DJ / production world. We even respond to some email questions about controllers and female DJs. www.Emmaculate.us Don't forget to check out other episodes including DJ Jazzy Jeff, Four Color Zack & more!

I'm a nerd. I love hip-hop and I’m a grown ass man, but I’m a nerd. I love researching and reading the stories behind things, watching documentaries, etc. For this reason, Brian Coleman is the shit. Brian has been a music journalist for a long time but I first heard about him from his book Check The Technique. Through his books Brian has essentially written the liner notes which previously didn’t exist for 60+ hip-hop albums. If you’re a hip-hop fan, some of these albums are undoubtedly your favorites. Brian was in town to do a signing for Check The Technique Volume 2 and was gracious enough to swing by my house for an interview. Listen to his story and cop his publications. Shouts to DJ Platurn for the link. …and please follow Brian on Twitter.
