We Hit 100 Episodes And Here Is What We Learned

Send us a messageWe just hit 100 episodes, and we’re not pretending it happened by accident. We talk about what two straight years of weekly drops teaches you about consistency, momentum, and why the audience often finds value in moments we barely remember recording. Then we turn the milestone into something you can actually use: a giveaway for the Melanair SD2, a full rack-mounted in-ear monitor system that can seriously upgrade how you hear yourself and perform at weddings, corporate events, and private parties.From there, we get into the ecosystem around the show: the Patreon Back Room community, what we’re putting behind the paywall and what’s happening with DJ Collective in Raleigh this year. We also announce a new general session speaker and talk about why we’re excited for an AI session that focuses on real workflows with tools like Claude, not the same recycled “ChatGPT for DJs” surface-level stuff.And because we’re DJs, we argue about music. We run through song of the summer contenders and land on a pick that may or may not surprise you, plus the real-world question behind it: does a track count if you need an edit to make it playable at a gig?We close with a listener question that hits a nerve: what do you do when well-known, higher-priced DJs in your market are honestly not good anymore? We unpack the ethics, the business angle, and a practical move that helps without starting drama: invite someone to shadow you, then go shadow them too.Subscribe, share this with a DJ friend, and leave a review so more booth heads can find the show.Support the showRESOURCES & LINKSOur website.
