The Digital DJ Tips Podcast

Mobile DJ tips, gear gimmicks, the future of jogwheels

Episode Summary

Join Phil Morse and the students of the Digital DJ Tips school, as they look at three burning topics in the world of DJing.

Episode Notes

Mobile DJing has changed in recent years, and so there are simple things any DJ can do to keep up with the times and do a great job. We kick off this episode with the five most popular tips as voted for by our students.

Our second topic tackles whether we've reached "peak features" on DJ gear or not. With nearly every new DJ gear release, there seems to be some gimmicky new feature or other. But how important are these really? Or instead, how much should our DJ gear simply do a job and stay out of our way?

With sync, AI beatgrids, and modern quick mixing techniques, do we even need jogwheels to DJ any more? After all, our very own Laidback Luke has moved away from this type of DJing. So for our final topic in this episode, we examine the arguments for and against.

As ever, this pod is supported 100% by the students of Digital DJ Tips, and it was recorded in a live webinar with lots of student feedback. If you enjoy it and you can, please do give us a five-star rating on Apple Podcasts. It really does make a difference.
