Word is Bond – Down the Apple Wormhole
Last week on the show, I featured an interview with Cadence Weapon and it inspired me to do something completely different for this edition of the show. Instead of making a show and picking tracks myself, I decided to start with one hand-picked track. I asked Apple Music to play . . . Graphidi Logik…

DJ, you’re the man!
Sing-alongs are a great way to close out a wedding DJ set. It brings the energy down and signals an end to the celebrations. In the video clip attached, I am playing a song that is often requested at weddings. I love cutting out the music during “Sweet Caroline” so you can clearly hear everyone…

Cadence Weapon – Ways of Listening
I caught Cadence Weapon on CBC Radio last week and thought what he was saying about finding and listening to music in this digital age of streaming was brilliant.

Links of Kent Golf Club (Wedding Vlog)
The Links of Kent Golf Course is a beautiful venue. I was a little worried about how bright the dance floor would be with the long windows along the perimeter of the room.

Rose Chapel Wedding – A Gig Log
The Rose Chapel is a nice venue in London, Ontario that I have done several weddings at. I thought I knew what to expect for this one, but I was wrong. Last time I did the sound for a ceremony here, it was easy – just plug-and-play. Their new system removed that feature, so I…

How DJs Looped Music Before Samplers
I recently did a classroom workshop on DJing and demonstrated how early pioneers of this art were able to loop up a portion of a record without using anything other than two turntables and two copies of the same record. I showed the students how this was done using a song by Led Zeppelin. Basically,…
