DJing on 7" vinyl with special guest Mojaxx // Podcast

☀️ Summer Sale - Up to 45% Off All Our DJ & Production Courses - https://www.digitaldjtips.com 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 For this episode, we asked show favourite ‪@Mojaxx‬ to return and to talk about a subject that might surprise some listeners: DJing with 45s. It's something that a surprising number of DJs still like to do, especially those who remember the 7" single the first time around. It's a subculture within a subculture that might be a bit geeky, but it's undeniably cool. As it's something both of us are into, we thought this topic would make a good twist on the "then and now" angle that these 15th birthday podcasts have followed. If you enjoy this podcast and you can, please do give us a five-star rating on Apple Podcasts. It really does make a difference. Want to get your question answered on an episode of this podcast?
