To help Digital DJ Tips celebrate its 15th birthday, we have a special series of podcasts bringing in friends of the school to talk about DJing past and present.
EPISODE NOTES
In this episode, DJ reviewer extraordinaire @Mojaxx (whose gear reviews have informed generations of DJs) joins us to chat about all the changes in DJ gear since vinyl was replaced by CDs, and to reminisce about long-forgotten kit that still has a place in our hearts, while also looking to the future.
