158: Episode 158

In this episode I'm joined again by DJ Just Craig & DJ Cable.  We sit down to talk about some of the most essential tips and advice we would give to DJs...not just new DJs, but established ones too! 

This week we're back after a summer hiatus to talk about getting out of our comfort zones with new styles of bookings, the evolution of club DJs shifting to daytimes and other roles, whether 'The DJ' will become a driving force for musical trends next year, following the success of DJ AG, how to negotiate contracts with clubs and Serato 4.0...the pros & cons! @Talkoverpod on socials.  Big up. 

This week Cable & Just Craig join Dubl to talk about how to navigate the DJ world in terms of getting a decent amount of pay from venues, whether DJing would be better as an 'employee' / PAYE job, or if freelancing is still a solid way forwards.  They also discuss how to give shout outs to dead people, what the civilians should stop doing in the clubs (as chosen by our audience lol) and Dubl says he can beat Travis Scott in a fight... @TalkoverPod on the socials!  

This week is our first episode for 2025 and Just Craig & Cable are back with DJ DUBL to talk through DJ topics, including the brand new Phase controllers that were announced this week and getting work through various DJ agencies.  DUBL also tells a story from the weekend...which might be hard to top this year 😂😂😂

This week DJ Cable and Just Craig are back online with me to talk about all things DJing!  We cover the new Pioneer controller that allows you to add drum patterns to your DJ set, are DJ's migrating from laptops to USBs, Boiler Room sets & whether the brand still has it's credibility and loads more, including an in depth look into the best service stations on the UK motorways 😂😂😂As always, @TalkoverPod on the socials.  Big up. 

This week we're recording in Nairobi, Kenya!   By a very weird stroke of luck, both me & Joe Lobel had separate DJ bookings in Nairobi, Kenya just one day apart from each other...so it made sense that we linked up & of course we had to record an episode of the pod as well!  We cover everything from DJing abroad in completely new territories to the 'post tour depression' feelings after a big tour away.  We also talk about inspiring the new generation of DJs, prepping for DJ sets overseas, the general vibe of clubbing all around the world & LOADS more!!! Enjoy! 

We're BACK!  It's been an entire summer off for us, and I'm not sorry.   But we're back & this week Dubl is talking with Just Craig & DJ Cable about everything from the state of 'high street clubs' in the UK right now, whether warming up with a pre-recorded mix is OK in a club set, are DJ edits the new exclusives, the young generation of DJs bringing their own equipment to the club, and a very dope recording app for DJs that want to record their audio content with ease during a club set!!! 

This week DJ Cable & DJ Just Craig join me to talk about the recent records by Kendrick & J Cole, whether Drake should be considered in 'The Big 3', and we discuss some of the greatest rappers in Hip Hop history and their catalogues.  We also talk about the UK's best artists, people hating on Central Cee and Cable tries to talk about his top 5 biscuits but I stopped him.  @TalkoverPod on the socials!  Send us your thoughts!  

I genuinely couldn't think of a name for this week's episode, so here we are.  Episode 158! This week we're discussing the new rotary mixer by Alpha Theta (Pioneer), we shout out DJ Milli Millz - a three year old DJ TEARING the decks up on instagram, DJs playing just one song on their content instead of mixing, and LOADS more!!! 

This week we have special guest DJ Flex on the pod!  Flex has recently skyrocketed on Instagram and Tik Tok with a huge series of viral mashups, taking him from 8000 followers to over 200,000; with his videos regularly hitting no less than 100,000 views each time!  Flex breaks down how he studied the algorithm for just 2 days & applied everything he learnt into his content, and in less than 3 months captured nearly a quarter million followers on IG alone! Follow our socials!  @TalkoverPod on everything...
