Live set recorded at Slam Academy on Friday July 6th for the Friday Night Slam Jam! We had a couple technical difficulties in the beginning as I was getting used to the XDJ's but for the most part it was a great show. Much appreciation to Slam Academy for having me out. Enjoy the mix!

Founder of Slam Academy, J. Anthony Allen, and Recruitment Specialist Tanya Lano joined the Morning Show to talk about their summer classes for musicians interested in learning about production and DJ-ing.

This week, Justus & Derek find out what's find out what's good with DJ Adatrak and his monthly showcase, Yo! MNTV Raps at Honey on Tuesday, September 19th as well as the upcoming Beat Battles at Slam Academy. Later, Derek sits down with Fancy & Envy of Illism to recap the Musicology Battle of the Bands at Paisley Park and their latest project, Love & Loyalty. Pepper in some Minne-Mixes & nonsensical show reviews, then you have what it takes to be caught up with the latest from the land of the lakes. https://soundcloud.com/adatrak https://soundcloud.com/illismmusic

If you have done any electronic music gigs in the US Midwest, or even if you've been listening to previous interviews with people that have come out of the Midwest, you've heard people speak about a mysterious figure: JP. JP helped set up gigs, encouraged people to strike out as players, or to try something new, or to show him something new. He's a dynamo in the area (he's based out of Minneapolis), and is also one of the founders of Slam Academy, a school for learning DJ'ing, production and sound design. JP has a lot of great memories about how the scene developed, and also a lot of ideas (and opinions) about how people can learn this stuff today. He is on the front lines of getting people involved in making music, and some of his concepts refreshingly avoid the hype of 'get a job in the industry!' and replaces it with 'find a way to make your life better!' I have to admit really appreciating that perspective. I hope you enjoy this chat with JP - someone that is not only a friend, but someone who is an inspiration, and someone whose opinion I've come to trust. And if you are interested in the classes he has on offer, check out slamacademy.com for the whole scoop.

J. Anthony Allen is a busy guy - teaching at a university, in private lessons and at the Slam Academy. He also balances the teaching work with his own composition/performance work, and is the businessman behind some of these ventures. Makes me tired just thinking through his day... In this conversation, we discuss the differences in teaching in different venues, how someone gets into composition in the first place, and how to manage the balance of composing and commerce. We also talk about developing new performance systems, and J. gives me the scoop on the Minneapolis scene. This is one of those interviews that makes me want to work harder - or maybe smarter. I hope you find it helpful for yourself! Enjoy!
