I was like, oh, boy.

Some DJing going on over there.

Yeah.

Um, so real quick, folks.

There is.

You can get out of the whole dancing at weddings thing by just DJing at the weddings, and that's your gift to them.

Ah, very good.

Mm-hmm.

And so I mean, I would say probably... at least like a fifth.

So maybe like 20% of the users that we have are musicians of some type, whether that's like, you know, we have everything from like DJs to singers, to songwriters, to like bands, we have country artists, we have, you know, rappers, EDM, uh, kind of everything under the sun.

Cool.

And I mean, that's like a pretty serious, like sample size, right? Like that's like somewhere between 50 to a hundred K like artists who are, who are using the platform.

This is Frank Gill, and welcome to another in our series of programs called Meet

the KNBR Disc Jockey.

Unfortunately, we have received some comments from people who feel that I've done

entirely too much talking during these interviews and that...

So I would say that's like the big, the negative, yeah.

For sure, like, big highlight was DJing twice because that's my side activity now at conventions.

I'm getting a lot to DJ on the Firespace, which I'm enjoying a lot.

And especially the second DJ set, which is the one that I was preparing for Rostoch, worked pretty well.

You've been in Ibiza.

You've been travelling, DJing loads.

How's it been?

The summer's been lit.

But it was great.

But then I wasn't...

Actually, then I wasn't interested in DJing.

I was very much making music with instruments.

But Duffy does a lot more than just DJ.

As an entertainment director for multiple venues around Richmond, he books and develops other DJs, curates nightlife experiences, and helps shape what Richmond's entertainment scene actually looks and sounds like.

DJ, curator, connector, and one of the people helping keep Richmond dancing.

Welcome to Oh La La, DJ Duffy.

Biggest DJ pet peeve.

For what happens to me while I'm DJing or that other

do?

All right, thank you.

I wanted to ask, you started DJing recently, so I assume you're in the electronic music scene.

Nope.

Oh, really? Let

me tell you about it.

Let me tell you about it.

I'm about to get, like, more gender euphoria from DJing.

So I love hip-hop a lot, like, symphonic, like... like, or trap, stuff like that.

yeah exactly it's like all right i guess that is like a kind of but like if you're gonna go see that why don't you just go see any dj doing that i feel like you're paying a premium to see the chain smokers play the killers and backstreet boys you could see just any dj in vegas also do that and then you don't have to listen to the chain smoker songs that they intersperse in there

Yeah, that's the thing that kind of sucks because DJing is a skill and those events are obviously fun.

People enjoy just taking drugs and dancing and having this Dionysian ritual.

And it doesn't have to be real instruments.
