Fun chat with DJs

A enjoyable listen among 4 DJs discussing a wide range of topics. Wish they were a little more consistent in putting out episodes, but I guess they just want to leave us wanting more. I like the deep dives into a specific DJ subject.

Nice guys but please FIX YOUR MIC VOLUMES

Every time someone laughs or slightly raises his voice the voice is way too loud. Same goes for the introductory music snippet as well as the one before every quiz.

Please normalize your input volume so that loudness remains level throughout. It’s extremely distracting, especially for those of us who like to listen in bed.

Also, the vibe is great, but maybe chuckle a little less and vibe the conversation room to breathe, especially when interviewing someone. Jamie’s interior of Paul Hamill is how it should be done. Chapter & Verse’s interview, by contrast, was extremely distracting ‘cause the interviewer couldn’t just stay quiet.

Other than that, great bunch of guys. Definitely got my eye on some of those courses.

Im simpler ,

Hello I love your podcast!

I’m a beginner dj and I’ve been djing for a few months with a Numark party mix I just got good at scratching and I try to watch all of your YouTube videos, bye!
