Charissa ChioccarelliGUEST
So this is what I wanted to, like the feminine version of this is what I wanted to create.
Charissa ChioccarelliGUEST
And for me, music was another element where I, because I knew a couple of promoters and club owners, I had access to these like CDJs to practice on.
Charissa ChioccarelliGUEST
And, but I realized this is a privilege that I had because of my then boyfriend and I just realized how many women probably wouldn't have this access or wouldn't feel comfortable being in these male-dominated spaces.
Charissa ChioccarelliGUEST
So I just always wanted to create a space that was welcoming, but also for giving back.
Charissa ChioccarelliGUEST
So that's why I invested in the CDJs and had the CDJs set up for women to come in and use them.
Charissa ChioccarelliGUEST
But also the sound.
Charissa ChioccarelliGUEST
I think when I moved here over 10 years ago, it was very... techno and very one-dimensional, I would say, the sound and the parties and the club scene.
ChrisHOST
decks at home?
Shawn O'SullivanHOST
Yeah, I have CDJs.
ChrisHOST
okay and i sold mine a long time ago i kind of was wishing the other day that i had them back or that i didn't sell them but i
Shawn O'SullivanHOST
i would regret i mean mine are mine are totally fucked up they do this weird thing where like um i have to reset the firmware almost every time i start because they start up and it says like e403 connection error or communication error that's good um And like, this is like, yeah, if I, if I leave them off for like more than like two or three days, it always reverts back to this.
Shawn O'SullivanHOST
Um, the fact that, you know, reset to factory and then it usually works fine.
Shawn O'SullivanHOST
Um, I mean, they, they always work fine after a couple of tries.
Shawn O'SullivanHOST
Um, But I would totally regret selling the CDJs or not getting new ones in some capacity.
ChrisHOST
Yeah.
Four Color ZackGUEST
And he proceeded to.
Four Color ZackGUEST
Fade songs out, load a new one, fade songs in, off one CDJ for his whole set, and that man ripped that place to the ground.
Four Color ZackGUEST
I would argue that it did better, and actually J.S. Minnows and I talked about this because a similar thing happened to him.
Four Color ZackGUEST
I would argue that the crowd reacted better to that style of musical presentation than what I went on to do, which was...
25 MINS LATER
Four Color ZackGUEST
we've had a lot of big leaps.
Four Color ZackGUEST
And those big leaps, I think, made it easier.
Four Color ZackGUEST
The leap from vinyl to DVS, the leap from whatever, turntables to CDJs to controllers to whatever.
Four Color ZackGUEST
These are big, big steps.
Madd HadderHOST
I like asking this just to get people's perspective.
Madd HadderHOST
Starting with vinyl, then moving to CDJs and digital media.
Madd HadderHOST
How was that transition for you?
SavageGUEST
The transition was weird, bro, to be honest with you.

speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
has to pass through searching for pieces something good for you we pray for light whenever we come across situations we cannot diffuse rulers of the youth seem arrogant and rude whenever challenged by ordinary civilians their status takes a huge knock and in retaliation An illusion eluding distorted views filled with confusion Give me the groove The groove is all I seek to impeach the counterfeit around The groove exists in the CDJs being caressed with the life of the sounds manifesting our hands in the air, alluding to the spirit entering.
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We are in the wild.
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I am craving a sound meant to empower An illusion eluding distorted views filled with confusion Give me the groove The groove is all I seek to impeach the counterfeit around As I continue to delve into the underground The strings bring out the rhythm And don't you ever forget the poetry when you praise the lyricism
Brian SmithHOST
It's happened.
Brian SmithHOST
It's in there.
Brian SmithHOST
And not only is it in the software, like if you're teaching with software, but like you can do it on CDJs and like using like the pro DJ link and like sticks and like just connect the laptop and like run sound switch.
Brian SmithHOST
And I never thought that that would happen.
Brian SmithHOST
So this is really like a major change.
Donnell KnoxHOST
Like Miles and I recently did a set with Matters, Matter of Fact, yeah.
Donnell KnoxHOST
And, you know, we both can play on CDJs, and even I'm using hybrid controllers and all this stuff that we play.
Donnell KnoxHOST
But it's still something about playing on the vinyl, you know, just mixing in two tracks raw like that.
Donnell KnoxHOST
I think it goes
Libby BawdenGUEST
I probably couldn't do it anymore.
Libby BawdenGUEST
Now I can mix CDJs, but there's a real art to mixing vinyl, which I probably don't have anymore.
Emma JHOST
But then, you know, you get older and you realize in
Libby BawdenGUEST
Devon, there's probably not a huge demand for DJs.
Emma JHOST
Yeah.
Emma JHOST
I used to do pubs and clubs when I was starting.
Emma JHOST
And, you know, there's this general consensus that oh well you're just playing a few tunes in the corner you know and this is before you know Spotify and Livestream and all of this sort of stuff so you'd literally spend a day or two organising all your music trying to get all the new music trying to get everything onto like hard drives and USBs and like I had CDJs I'd bring with me so You'd have to go to the venue and lug your speakers and lug your decks and set everything up.
Emma JHOST
And you'd have to be there now really before people showed up and then stay back and take everything down.
AlexHOST
Some of the uses of this reverse engineer anything are really interesting.
AlexHOST
inspiring uh so so one of the things that they're doing for example is like people are just going into their car computer systems and going i don't like the look of this dashboard so i'm just gonna like hack the computer so that i can have the dial over here and add spotify over here or something or something like that then for example i've in my world uh DJ World, Pioneer, who make the CDJs, the hardware that you use to DJ in all the nightclubs around the world, the software that you prepare your tracks for at home to then play in the CDJs in the nightclub, the hardware.
AlexHOST
The software is notoriously crap.
AlexHOST
Like nobody has ever been able to understand why this multi fucking billion dollar company that has a total monopoly on DJ hardware makes the worst fucking software program in the world called record box.
CassöGUEST
sold them and then i re-bought them around the time i made started making music again well started making music um and that's when i actually started learning to mix a little bit but again just i didn't really care about i was like oh i just go away i just want to produce so it was before my first gig actually i'd said to my manager i was like oh by the way you know i can't i can't really dj he's like what So one of my mates, Bronnie, luckily lived in the city that I was playing.
CassöGUEST
And then two hours before the show, he showed me, he's like, right, these are CDJs, these are decks.
CassöGUEST
Do you have a USB? You put your USB in, you know, you crossfade it.
CassöGUEST
So I learned it so last
