Music Episodes

I just finished the Engage Conference (#4 of 4 that I attended in 2022). For this last one in Arizona, I was the general sessions DJ. In this episode, I talk through my strategy with the conference in general, some tricks and hacks for sourcing tracks and nailing timing and I even give you a special downloadable bonus for the holidays as a "thank you" for your support.

With my music episodes, I try to present to you evergreen tracks that will be with you for a while. I subscribe to a ton of record pools beyond digging through blogs, Patreon, streaming services, Shazam, and the like. I thought I would share my top 10 most interesting musical track finds with you. Bonus: I'll give you the source on where to find the tracks I talk about. Not only do I hope to save you time in finding gems but I also give you my take on how/where I use them within my sets.

it's April Fool's Day. In this month's re-occurring music series with Brian B and co-hosts, Digital Dave and Jason Jani, we thought we'd cover a topic that most DJs would never touch for fear of getting clowned on. We're going to share our guilty pleasure tracks. Which one of us listens to Celine Dion? Who still gets pumped up to Jock Jams? Who's a sucker for an 80s movie soundtrack ballad? You'll have to listen to find out and no this is NOT a joke. We hope you have as much fun listening to this one as much as we did recording this one.
