Podcasts about Serato

Sir Bruno Serato, nationally recognized for his humanitarian work, has been presented with the “Angels on Earth” award by Angel Light Academy, a nonprofit organization founded in 1995 by Julia Wilmot and her husband, retired Brig. Gen. Richard Wilmot. Caterina's Club City: Anaheim Address: 50 S Anaheim Blvd #251 Website: https://www.caterinasclub.org Email: frank@frankgroffinc.com

Send us Fan MailA laptop can carry a million songs, but that does not automatically make the person behind it a DJ. We link up with New Jersey's Vinyl Society to get into the real craft: what it takes to control a room, why transitions still matter, and how you can hear the difference between someone who knows music and someone who just hit play. If you love vinyl culture, hip hop history, and the details that separate a set from a playlist, this one is for you.We talk vinyl DJing versus digital DJing with zero fake outrage. Serato, sync, loops, stems, and massive libraries are powerful tools, but Vinyl Society breaks down why tools never replace taste, timing, and the ability to switch on a dime. We get into the “DJ vs selector” debate, why audiences are listening for blends again, and how flipping the original sample into the song that used it creates those goosebump moments that streaming algorithms cannot deliver.Then we open it up: DJing vs producing, why owning records feels different than renting music through streaming, and how vinyl collecting becomes both sentimental and a real investment. We also have fun with New Jersey Mount Rushmore picks, a spicy female rapper GOAT conversation (Lauryn, Nicki, Rapsody and more), and why full projects with intentional sequencing still hit harder than random drops.Subscribe for more conversations like this, share this with a DJ friend who will argue with you, and leave a review telling us where you stand: vinyl, digital, or both?FOLLOW.

Sir Bruno Serato is an internationally recognized chef, humanitarian, and founder of Caterina's Club. His life changed forever when his mother looked at a hungry child and said, “If he's hungry, feed him pasta.” Those few words became the foundation of a mission that has fed millions of children, housed hundreds of families, and reminded the world that compassion is often measured one person at a time.Featured in 'The Humanity Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Sir Bruno SeratoHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: Ziv MoranProduced by: AwareNow Media

Send us Fan MailMost people judge a DJ by the loudest 30 seconds. We wanted to talk about the other 99 percent of the job: the decisions nobody sees that keep a club alive, a dance floor full, and a night moving in waves instead of burning out early.We're joined by DJ Javi, one of Hawaii's most versatile DJs, to break down the real mechanics of nightlife. We talk DJ battles, mentorship, and the Hawaii DJ community ethos of showing up for each other's gigs. Javi explains why “reading the room” is not a vibe-based cliché, it's a skill: watching who is dancing, who is stuck at the bar, and how to sequence songs so the crowd builds naturally. We also get into the business side of DJing, why cold asks for peak-time slots fail, and how newer DJs can earn bookings through demos, feedback, and consistent presence.Then we go deep on emo nights in Hawaii: how the concept spread from the mainland, why some sets land and others don't, how to balance mainstream sing-alongs with deeper cuts, and even how to keep mosh pit energy safe in a club environment. Along the way, we touch on how social media changed nightlife behavior, how different venues demand different strategies, and why undercutting rates hurts the whole scene.If you care about Hawaii nightlife, DJ culture, Serato and Rekordbox workflow, or how a great DJ thinks in real time, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share this with a DJ or promoter friend, and leave a review with the best lesson you've learned from a night out.

Even though hip-hop music is the basis for all my record collecting, I have trouble staying up on all the new releases these days as I drift more and more into jazz and other musical forms. Shout out to my guy Noah for keeping me as informed as possible about new releases! These are a few tracks that have gotten a lot of repeated listens this past year. Mixed on Serato since a few of these have not seen vinyl releases quite yet or won't at all (and that's ok!!). Enjoy! Tracklist: Myka9 and Blu, DJ Fresh and Paul Wall, Jumbo, Khingz, Replife, Ransom and DJ Premier, Raekwon ft Carlton Frisk and Inspectah Deck, Clipse, Jumbo, De La Soul, Murs, The Grouch

Bruno Serato, owner of the Anaheim White House Restaurant and founder of Caterina's Club, feeds literally thousands of children and families every day, and he's raising money so his Caterina's foundation can continue feeding literally thousands every day who would otherwise go hungry. And he joins us today to talk about it. Just last week, SoCal powerhouse radio station #KFIam640 (where my husband hosts the #JohnKobyltShow), teamed up with Bruno, Smart & Final, Wendy's, and De Cecco pasta to raise money and bunches of pasta and sauce so Bruno could continue doing what he does best - feeding hungry people. And the mission has been affectionately called #Pastathon. Already, they've raised close to $1-million dollars, and the campaign is still going, and he'll talk about how you can help. Now that's A LOT of Pasta! Bruno has become a friend over the years, and many of us call him a saint. His generosity was inspired by his mom, Caterina, who gave him the inspiration to feed hungry children in nearby Anaheim. He took the challenge, and so many years later, he's been recognized by Time Magazine, CNN Heros, the Pope, and others around the globe. We will talk with Bruno about his humble beginnings before moving to the United States, where his restaurant quickly became a fixture in Southern California. But he's faced plenty of tough times, too, like when his restaurant burned to the ground a few years ago, and his first thought was, "how will I feed the children." He rebuilt, and came back stronger than ever. Please join me in welcoming Bruno Serato on all audio and video platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, #LittleItalyPodcast, and our #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and I thank you for joining me.

Chef Bruno Serato of the nonprofit Caterina's Club makes pasta for children from families who are financially struggling. It feeds 5,000 hungry kids every night. Now, Chef Serato's nonprofit needs financial help so it can continue to feed the community. The failed high-speed rail from LA to San Francisco cost taxpayers $130 billion. That's a total of $240 billion that's been wasted or is unaccounted for in California, including missing funds from the unemployment department and the homeless. Toronto Blue Jay fans in town for the World Series probably don't want to go home; LA is looking so beautiful right now. There's a rat problem in DTLA! A hand grenade was found at a Burbank recycling center! It led to an evacuation, but it turns out it was a dud.

This week on @RoadPodcast, the crew chops it up with UK DJ and producer @snipsmusic, founder of London's legendary “Living Proof” party. Snips breaks down how he got his name (01:41), his early love for house music, and the influence of UK genres like Lovers Rock, Jungle, and Drum & Bass. He shares wild stories from the London scene — including the time they accidentally booked a fake MF DOOM — and reflects on the rise and fall of “Living Proof” (12:30). The crew delves into the evolution of UK hip-hop, the legacy of @timwestwoodtv, and iconic UK shows featuring @jayz and @bustarhymes (24:10). Snips also discusses the beauty of vinyl culture (34:01) and the politics of equipment snobbery — from USB sticks to Serato (52:19). Things heat up during a fiery debate on NY hip-hop elitism, @souljaboy, and the future of DJ tech (1:19:30). Later, Snips critiques NYC's current house scene, the optics of “diversity” in nightlife, and why he focused on building a community in Brooklyn (1:31:04). The episode wraps with sharp takes on @50cent, @jarule, the divide between mainstream and underground rap, and one last rant about his Twitter beef with @Nelly (2:03:10).

From recording his own records at just twelve years old to collaborating with the biggest names in music, LA-native Iman Omari is an artistic force to be reckoned with. His consistent dedication to the craft and ability to evolve set his discography apart from the rest. I was lucky enough to hop on a call with the 2X Grammy award winning producer to learn more about his journey as an artist, how he's navigated the ins and outs of the entertainment industry, and his mentorship for Serato x TEC Leimert x Undefeated's 'Audio Affect Series'—an immersive workshop designed to empower the next generation of Black and Brown producer talent in South Central Los Angeles. A transcript of the interview can be found on our BLOG as well as links to all of Iman's pages. Enjoy!
