Our Bad DJ Gig Stories series is BACK for a third installment, featuring several previous guests of The Passionate DJ Podcast, as well as submissions from our Facebook group. Since the world is basically on lockdown right now, we thought it was a good time to remember how going out isn’t always sunshine and rainbows!
On today’s episode we talk about the latest news and happenings in the DJ industry in the past month or two, starting with COVID-19 and its potential effect on the festival scene. We move on from that after about 10 minutes, and talk about things that you aren’t already tired of. There is also a rather large segment where we explore the new division of techno as defined by Beatport. Peak/Driving/Hard, vs. Raw/Deep/Hypnotic.
On today’s episode, we are visited by Cody and Gerrad of the band Cryztal Grid. Since their inception in 2017, Cryztal Grid has exploded into the electronic music scene. This is the first time they’ve been on the show since moving across the country. We wanted to catch up with the fellas, and hear what they’ve been up to in the past year. The Cryztal Grid project has relocated, but is it still going strong?
In today’s episode, we talk about all the changes we’ve been making to our home studio setups. All four Passionate DJ co-hosts have been changing up our personal DJ booths and production desks. We talk about the various reasons for these modifications, such as aesthetics, convenience, ergonomics, efficiency, and more. Coming soon, we’ll post a video tour of these changes on our YouTube channel so that you can see for yourself!
In Episode 194, we focus on The Passionate DJ Community – an official Facebook Group for fans of Passionate DJ and other music lovers. David scrolls through the past few months of posts, picking out a few questions and giving responses from the microphone. We talk about creating flow in a mix, thoughts on the Reloop Kut mixer, staying prepared to play on anything, and more.
Now that NAMM 2020 is over, and your social media feeds have calmed down a bit… this episode of The Passionate DJ Podcast summarizes all of the DJ-related hardware releases that happened this month. We talk about the Denon DJ SC6000 & SC6000M PRIME, the X1850 PRIME, the PRIME 2 and PRIME GO, the Pioneer DJM-V10, the Numark DJ2GO2 Touch, The Rane SEVENTY, and the Akai MPC One.
