00:00:22.294 --> 00:00:23.554
Welcome back to beyond.

00:00:23.554 --> 00:00:30.644
The dj is your boy, Joe Bunn, and that right there, Brian B, Is Brian freaking B.

00:00:30.644 --> 00:00:32.009
If you don't know now you know.

00:00:32.009 --> 00:00:36.430
This is the private event DJ podcast that doesn't bring on guests.

00:00:36.430 --> 00:00:42.006
No, Because we live five minutes from each other, so we're sitting here live in the studio.

00:00:42.006 --> 00:00:46.151
This is what you can pretty much expect from Beyond the DJ booth on a weekly basis.

00:00:46.151 --> 00:00:47.365
We appreciate y'all being here.

00:00:47.365 --> 00:00:48.042
I mean here.

00:00:48.042 --> 00:00:50.502
We are batch content creating Mid-November.

00:00:50.502 --> 00:00:52.408
This is getting ready to come out right around Christmas.

00:00:52.408 --> 00:00:56.271
What is going on in the Bonus CC house for Christmas?

00:00:56.841 --> 00:01:00.131
Our tradition is an interesting one.

00:01:00.131 --> 00:01:02.307
I don't know why we started it this way.

00:01:02.307 --> 00:01:04.563
Oh boy Christmas Eve we do sushi.

00:01:04.563 --> 00:01:05.465
It's kind of our thing.

00:01:05.465 --> 00:01:07.730
Actually, you gave me the spot I did.

00:01:07.730 --> 00:01:09.754
There's a place that's been renamed.

00:01:09.754 --> 00:01:13.621
I can't remember.

00:01:13.621 --> 00:01:15.930
The center that you said is no longer what it is Village District is that the name of it?

00:01:15.930 --> 00:01:17.760
Yes, Village District, but you mentioned a sushi spot.

00:01:17.801 --> 00:01:18.501
Yeah, I just saw it.

00:01:18.662 --> 00:01:19.162
It's solid.

00:01:19.263 --> 00:01:21.384
Yeah it, I'm actually pretty impressed, okay, yeah.

00:01:21.384 --> 00:01:23.445
I'm a sushi snob I know you are.

00:01:23.445 --> 00:01:25.828
I was scared to even throw it out there.

00:01:26.087 --> 00:01:27.349
It was very passable.

00:01:27.370 --> 00:01:28.671
Okay, good, because I'm getting some different stuff.

00:01:28.691 --> 00:01:31.332
But besides that we do one present.

00:01:31.332 --> 00:01:32.733
Does a four-year-old eat sushi?

00:01:32.733 --> 00:01:34.456
She does, she crushes it.

00:01:34.456 --> 00:01:35.516
Stop Crushes.

00:01:35.596 --> 00:01:36.477
I love that little girl.

00:01:45.060 --> 00:01:47.287
I was like 21, 23 when 2007 yeah, before I even decided to venture into it.

00:01:47.308 --> 00:01:48.331
I got called out because I worked at pioneer.

00:01:48.352 --> 00:01:49.415
Yeah, yeah, and you know japanese absolutely.

00:01:49.415 --> 00:01:51.524
Yeah, they like to make you squirm, yeah, so they gave you the live stuff.

00:01:51.524 --> 00:02:06.385
Oh, it's not even shoot it's not dead yet and maybe just want to see if you're good, if you'll give it a shot, say don't get down like that nah so, but I remember the first time I went to a sushi place I had no idea what a sushi roll was Right, right, right, like what's even in it.

00:02:06.385 --> 00:02:07.965
I hadn't even heard the term before.

00:02:07.965 --> 00:02:09.419
I'm just going to a Japanese restaurant.

00:02:09.460 --> 00:02:11.709
I'm thinking like you know teriyaki chicken.

00:02:11.709 --> 00:02:13.586
Give me the whatever.

00:02:14.099 --> 00:02:15.646
And they go, what kind of roll you want?

00:02:15.646 --> 00:02:18.328
And, of course me, I'm just like I'll take the cinnamon roll.

00:02:18.328 --> 00:02:19.471
Can I get the cinnamon roll?

00:02:19.471 --> 00:02:26.663
Like no, bro, this isn't a donut shop, this is not breakfast.

00:02:26.663 --> 00:02:27.947
This is like wow, I'm like I don't know.

00:02:27.947 --> 00:02:29.409
Yeah, you were like 21, yeah, they gave you the wasabi?

00:02:29.510 --> 00:02:30.633
yeah, a jack, let you up.

00:02:30.633 --> 00:02:33.949
Oh my, my head's the worst, so I don't get down with wasabi.

00:02:33.968 --> 00:02:35.777
It's acquired taste, bro, I don't get.

00:02:35.777 --> 00:02:36.942
I wish I would have started younger.

00:02:37.002 --> 00:02:43.486
Yeah, to like acquire the taste so do you do wasabi, you don't do that no, sir, I just read that right right over to the side.

00:02:43.486 --> 00:02:45.292
Just a little soy sauce, that's all I need.

00:02:45.292 --> 00:02:48.286
But I like the nigiri, I like all the different rolls.

00:02:48.286 --> 00:02:51.569
I mean I don't think I've ever had anything where I was like grossed out by it.

00:02:51.569 --> 00:02:53.526
Right, I have a few places I need to put you on.

00:02:53.526 --> 00:02:54.860
We'll talk about that off air.

00:02:55.001 --> 00:03:00.667
So that's our tradition we do sushi at a, and then we open.

00:03:00.667 --> 00:03:02.068
One gift, one gift.

00:03:02.147 --> 00:03:02.989
Okay, on Christmas Eve?

00:03:02.989 --> 00:03:04.610
Yeah, we never did that.

00:03:04.631 --> 00:03:08.495
Christmas Day is usually just yeah, I mean, now it's madness.

00:03:08.495 --> 00:03:09.275
It's madness now.

00:03:09.294 --> 00:03:12.445
Right, let's be honest With a four-year-old and now she really gets it.

00:03:12.445 --> 00:03:15.990
Yeah, these are the prime years man Seriously Cherish this shit, don't work.

00:03:15.990 --> 00:03:36.818
Don't be working like that when it goes by like I look back on these holidays now and I go, damn bro, like it, that was the magic, yeah let's say like four to eight, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm also a huge nba guy, that is like the day they go off on that and I'm a laker fan, so we're on every year.

00:03:36.818 --> 00:03:37.621
Programming is crazy.

00:03:37.640 --> 00:03:41.050
Christmas day, so I'm like afternoon yeah, leave your boy alone.

00:03:41.050 --> 00:03:42.981
Yeah, yeah, yeah, watching the game he's eating a lot.

00:03:43.002 --> 00:03:43.883
He's got the itis.

00:03:43.883 --> 00:03:46.247
He's laid up on the couch watching the Lakers.

00:03:46.247 --> 00:03:47.590
That's the way to go.

00:03:47.969 --> 00:03:48.270
Shit.

00:03:48.270 --> 00:03:48.632
What about you?

00:03:48.632 --> 00:03:49.652
What are you doing for Christmas?

00:03:49.954 --> 00:03:50.435
Not much.

00:03:50.435 --> 00:03:56.691
I don't really have any Christmas plans, but I definitely know my sister's coming from Montana the day after and I'm going to go to the beach.

00:03:56.691 --> 00:04:07.044
And this year, do you have a tradition now or no?

00:04:07.044 --> 00:04:07.406
The boys are gone.

00:04:07.406 --> 00:04:07.848
No traditions really.

00:04:07.848 --> 00:04:08.570
Man it changes man, different houses.

00:04:08.570 --> 00:04:10.097
When I was married we'd go to Richmond sometimes.

00:04:10.097 --> 00:04:12.806
Sometimes we'd be in Raleigh, sometimes we'd go to Wilson see my parents.

00:04:12.806 --> 00:04:14.861
Sometimes we'd go to the beach, like I don't know.

00:04:14.861 --> 00:04:19.221
I'd like to start something new now that the boys are grown and aren't really believers.

00:04:19.221 --> 00:04:21.745
You know, maybe try and go out to Montana every year or something.

00:04:21.745 --> 00:04:23.086
See my sister go out to Montana every year, so I can see my sister.

00:04:23.107 --> 00:04:24.428
What's the beach like in December?

00:04:24.428 --> 00:04:28.774
It's very, very, very quiet down there, man, okay, and restaurants are open.

00:04:28.774 --> 00:04:30.564
Yeah, it's very mom and pop-ish.

00:04:30.946 --> 00:04:33.228
Yes, they're all the mom and pops, not all of them.

00:04:33.228 --> 00:04:39.482
I will say that a lot of them close around two weeks around that time and just probably just need a break.

00:04:39.641 --> 00:04:40.343
That's like Destin.

00:04:40.343 --> 00:04:42.646
Yeah, they, they have their pop in the summer, yep.

00:04:42.646 --> 00:04:47.153
And then those that still remain open, some of them to your point they'll be gone for two weeks.

00:04:47.153 --> 00:04:48.495
Yeah, oh, yeah, Like we're out.

00:04:48.495 --> 00:04:51.160
Yeah, but enough are open that are good, That'll you know be sustainable.

00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:52.142
Have you ever done Christmas at the?

00:04:52.163 --> 00:04:52.343
beach.

00:04:52.343 --> 00:04:56.014
I've never spent Christmas day there.

00:04:56.014 --> 00:04:58.119
I've definitely been there around Christmas.

00:04:58.119 --> 00:04:59.281
Our beach house is awesome.

00:04:59.281 --> 00:05:01.274
I think it was built by my grandparents.

00:05:01.274 --> 00:05:03.560
I think it was either 80 or 90 years old.

00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:07.500
It's been renovated, obviously, but as a fireplace which is pretty rare for a beach house.

00:05:07.620 --> 00:05:13.372
So it's kind of awesome to go down there and build a fire, watch football, watch basketball, whatever, and just chill.

00:05:13.372 --> 00:05:17.081
And, like I said, my sister will be here, her husband, her son, he's 10.

00:05:17.081 --> 00:05:21.697
Too cold to go on the boat, man, you can sometimes catch a you know a weird day.

00:05:21.697 --> 00:05:26.653
You put on a couple jackets and a hoodie, you know what I mean and go out there and just take a booze cruise.

00:05:26.653 --> 00:05:31.113
Yeah, maybe find somewhere open, you know where you can grab lunch or pull up on a dock or something.

00:05:31.113 --> 00:05:33.439
My dad would, you know when he was around.

00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:45.754
He, he would find like a fishing spot, yeah, and it might be some shitty, like sea mullet or something that you don't really want, but he'd be like we're catching fish and I'd be like, it's true, I mean in the middle of December, I don't want to complain.

00:05:45.754 --> 00:05:47.759
Yeah, I'm on a boat, I'm catching fish.

00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:54.774
Anyway, I'm not nearly the fisherman that Joe Bunn Sr was.

00:05:54.935 --> 00:05:56.016
Oh yeah, when this drops.

00:05:56.357 --> 00:05:57.137
Episode one.

00:05:57.137 --> 00:05:59.081
Episode one, season two.

00:05:59.341 --> 00:06:02.685
It's kind of an odd place to start because it's before the start of the new year.

00:06:02.745 --> 00:06:03.125
That's true.

00:06:03.125 --> 00:06:08.458
Start a new season, but it's a good place to talk about the past year.

00:06:08.658 --> 00:06:10.923
Yeah, Segway bitch, there we go.

00:06:13.310 --> 00:06:16.860
We haven't talked to music in a while like really talk to music, right, gotten into it.

00:06:16.860 --> 00:06:21.903
So I thought this would be good to kind of go through our thoughts on the music landscape in 2024.

00:06:21.903 --> 00:06:30.427
I came up with some categories for us, and this is mainly gig related, so think of it in that terms, not necessarily personal.

00:06:30.649 --> 00:06:32.314
No right, that's another episode.

00:06:32.314 --> 00:06:33.759
Man, that's a different episode.

00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:42.000
I made a reel the other day and I haven't put it out yet, but it was more about like the albums I'm listening to now, and not one of them was something I would play at a show.

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:43.083
Yeah, it's just not.

00:06:43.083 --> 00:06:47.401
My musical taste in that field is different than than what I'm gonna play at a show.

00:06:47.401 --> 00:06:49.110
Let's get into the first category.

00:06:49.793 --> 00:06:57.620
This is great man, thanks for doing this, because I love these questions and I think we're probably gonna match on some of these, maybe, even though we're wildly different.

00:06:58.021 --> 00:06:59.887
Yeah, we're not wildly different DJs.

00:06:59.887 --> 00:07:02.153
Actually, I think we're closer than probably Janai.

00:07:02.153 --> 00:07:06.814
Right, janai, yeah, he goes different, that's just Jersey's, a different planet.

00:07:06.814 --> 00:07:07.678
I've said that before.

00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:15.096
I feel like we play a little bit similar in that sense, probably, but you're going to go deeper and find a better edit than more creative.

00:07:15.096 --> 00:07:16.579
I'm just going to pull up a scooter at it.

00:07:17.420 --> 00:07:24.793
Which are solid, and I made it Shout out scooter, shout out scooter, all right.

00:07:24.793 --> 00:07:25.334
So the first category.

00:07:25.334 --> 00:07:26.459
I feel like it's shaped the way we play now.

00:07:26.459 --> 00:07:28.766
Social media has definitely affected what people are requesting these days.

00:07:28.990 --> 00:07:29.230
Yes.

00:07:29.331 --> 00:07:30.918
Whether it's TikTok or Instagram.

00:07:30.937 --> 00:07:31.240
Sure.

00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:37.658
Has there been like a song that you've played that you would say was like the viral hit of the year that you incorporated into your sets?

00:07:37.978 --> 00:07:39.923
I kind of read this a little bit wrong.

00:07:39.923 --> 00:07:57.011
Yes, the song I picked and I'm not going to say that this has gone over on the dance floor, but it has definitely gone over at like Doors Open Fashion Show, corporate Vibe Set Birds of a Feather, billie Eilish Okay, it was huge on either TikTok or Reels or both it's got such a weird energy I never really—.

00:07:57.151 --> 00:07:58.274
It does have a weird energy.

00:07:58.274 --> 00:08:00.661
That's why I'm saying it's not a dance song per se.

00:08:00.661 --> 00:08:06.536
Yeah, but I know a song is big because I told you this before I wake up to terrestrial radio.

00:08:06.536 --> 00:08:11.430
Right 96.9 on the Alexa through TuneIn or whatever.

00:08:11.430 --> 00:08:13.192
I've got this shit dialed in bro.

00:08:13.612 --> 00:08:16.113
I've been there, this shit yeah it is legit.

00:08:16.454 --> 00:08:23.999
Alarm goes off, tells me the weather, blinds go up, motorized fan off, light on Automatic.

00:08:23.999 --> 00:08:25.060
This is like Doc.

00:08:25.100 --> 00:08:26.721
Brown stuff, it really is.

00:08:26.940 --> 00:08:32.485
And then the New Pulse FM comes on terrestrial radio, Okay, 96.9.

00:08:32.485 --> 00:08:37.967
And I know a song is big if it's playing on a pop FM station Right, If that makes sense.

00:08:37.967 --> 00:08:45.423
Yeah, and that song is playing in that span of me getting up showering, pushups after the shower, which makes no sense.

00:08:45.423 --> 00:08:48.116
I'm aware it plays normally in that span.

00:08:48.116 --> 00:08:50.475
Okay, that's how I really put a barometer on.

00:08:50.475 --> 00:08:52.038
Like damn, this song is a big song.

00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:52.740
Does that make sense?

00:08:52.740 --> 00:08:55.558
Yeah, and then it translated to Requestless yes.

00:09:00.471 --> 00:09:02.337
It was definitely on the wedding for this past saturday.

00:09:02.337 --> 00:09:04.648
I did not get to it because she just went too heavy, too many songs and I had to be a little more choosy.

00:09:04.648 --> 00:09:09.004
So again, I'm not going to say this is a dance floor mover by any means, but it is a vibe setter.

00:09:09.004 --> 00:09:09.888
Where are you at?

00:09:10.068 --> 00:09:14.503
I went dance floor and I feel like these it could be one of two oh, you're going multiples, I'm going.

00:09:14.769 --> 00:09:15.591
I didn't get multiples.

00:09:15.652 --> 00:09:22.485
It could be either or or, honestly, but I feel like the song the Spins, mac Miller has made a massive resurgence.

00:09:22.485 --> 00:09:24.255
We've never played that, have we Saquon?

00:09:24.537 --> 00:09:26.902
No, well, mac Miller represented Pittsburgh.

00:09:26.902 --> 00:09:30.159
Sure, if you ever get a crowd from Pittsburgh, you've got to play that, I agree.

00:09:31.090 --> 00:09:32.875
However, it's working across.

00:09:32.875 --> 00:09:33.940
It doesn't matter where they live.

00:09:33.940 --> 00:09:40.472
I get this on the request list.

00:09:40.472 --> 00:09:41.115
I't know 50 of the time now.

00:09:41.135 --> 00:09:41.938
I think it's the sample it could be uses.

00:09:41.938 --> 00:09:42.522
It's that empire of the suns.

00:09:42.522 --> 00:09:43.183
Yes, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:09:43.203 --> 00:09:51.471
I know the song, I know the record and then the other one which is I guarantee you, you aren't playing this go on rasputin by bony m no, I do know that song.

00:09:51.692 --> 00:09:55.063
It's from like sounds like it's in russian.

00:09:55.384 --> 00:09:55.907
You know that song.

00:09:55.907 --> 00:09:57.754
It's like a jig, basically like a russian jig.

00:09:57.754 --> 00:10:07.091
But, dude, I played it at a school dance for the first time because that was on a list there and I was like no way, this is going over, because it's kind of like an old disco-y bad disco-y song.

00:10:07.111 --> 00:10:09.153
Yeah, people went apeshit.

00:10:09.173 --> 00:10:10.698
Because it got massive on TikTok.

00:10:10.698 --> 00:10:15.034
There was like a dance to it, wow, and I played it at weddings and it goes over really well.

00:10:15.274 --> 00:10:19.001
Wow, that's the power of viral yeah, 100 stuff.

00:10:19.001 --> 00:10:19.643
What are we doing?

00:10:19.702 --> 00:10:22.075
next song of the year yeah, what was the song of the year for you, the?

00:10:22.095 --> 00:10:22.596
song that.

00:10:22.596 --> 00:10:23.077
Where are you?

00:10:23.359 --> 00:10:27.440
I mean it's gonna be kind of a no-brainer this is probably my pick had to do with something that came out this year.

00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:30.503
It doesn't have to be that for you, but that's the way I was thinking of it go on.

00:10:30.644 --> 00:10:47.509
So good luck, babe chapel roan, I mean it for the first up is on this list that we're talking about for me, I, I still, I went shibuzi and and and in particular the tipsy edit with the right, okay, I could see that it, just it went over for me more than that.

00:10:47.509 --> 00:10:49.676
I'll come back to the chapel run phenomenon.

00:10:49.676 --> 00:10:54.534
Okay, in fact, I'll just go ahead and speak on it now into the breakout breakout artist.

00:10:54.755 --> 00:11:01.316
Yeah, chapel run 100, so I had shibuzi on this because I wanted to be a little bit different I think shibuzi is gonna have another hit.

00:11:01.316 --> 00:11:07.561
I mean, I'm worried his next single is pretty no, it wasn't though I don't think it's out the one I just saw.

00:11:07.620 --> 00:11:09.227
The one I just saw was called highway.

00:11:09.227 --> 00:11:17.635
It sounded pretty good to me it sounds good, but it's just a normal country record dude, when I'm telling you this summer, every fucking time my mom got in the car.

00:11:17.635 --> 00:11:18.839
She's's 80 years old.

00:11:18.839 --> 00:11:20.562
She goes let's put on Shaboozy.

00:11:20.562 --> 00:11:26.856
An 80-year-old white lady is talking about put on Shaboozy, it's also another case of a sample.

00:11:26.856 --> 00:11:28.019
Yes and no.

00:11:28.019 --> 00:11:30.618
Still, an 80-year-old white lady is not going to know.

00:11:30.618 --> 00:11:37.099
Yeah, but the reason it got big is because, yeah, everybody knows that song and he's playing again.

00:11:37.158 --> 00:11:42.285
this is dropping in December, but he will have played on Thanksgiving Day for the football game.

00:11:42.551 --> 00:11:55.118
He needs to play something else in that little mega set that gets everybody like, oh shit, I can't wait to hear this, or I see this could be big, or he needs to tease something.

00:11:55.118 --> 00:12:01.735
It's not going to be as big as whatever a bar song, but he needs to play something that gets people excited again, because I'm not excited right now.

00:12:01.735 --> 00:12:02.558
Like I like him.

00:12:02.558 --> 00:12:03.855
I think he's got a great story.

00:12:03.855 --> 00:12:05.875
He looks cool, his music's cool.

00:12:05.875 --> 00:12:08.476
I just want him to not be one-hit wonder.

00:12:08.870 --> 00:12:13.932
So what was the most disappointing flop track of the year that you thought would crush?

00:12:14.192 --> 00:12:14.673
that you were like.

00:12:14.673 --> 00:12:19.020
I'm going to just say, as an album or as an artist, katy Perry, shit the Bed.

00:12:19.020 --> 00:12:20.023
It wasn't a good album.

00:12:20.062 --> 00:12:21.124
Yeah, yeah it just didn't do.

00:12:21.144 --> 00:12:26.677
Well, everybody was like hyping it up Like she was going to be Because she made like a dance record, I think.

00:12:26.677 --> 00:12:31.822
So I mean, I only gave it like a brief pass and I've never been asked for it.

00:12:38.418 --> 00:12:39.019
Do you still play?

00:12:39.059 --> 00:12:40.140
Firework every once in a while.

00:12:40.140 --> 00:12:40.902
I mean Icon made.

00:12:40.902 --> 00:12:42.004
I think we talked about that.

00:12:42.725 --> 00:12:43.085
Fuse.

00:12:43.085 --> 00:12:46.177
I think May have not been him, but I thought he did and it's good for the cryo.

00:12:46.450 --> 00:12:47.434
It's a good cryo song.

00:12:47.590 --> 00:12:49.174
There's a version of that with Viva La Vida.

00:12:49.174 --> 00:12:54.515
Ooh, it's really good Okay.

00:12:54.556 --> 00:12:57.780
When it comes to predictions fail.

00:12:57.780 --> 00:12:58.301
What.

00:12:58.442 --> 00:12:59.604
I thought it was going to be.

00:12:59.604 --> 00:13:03.436
I had some help Post Malone with Morgan Waller.

00:13:03.456 --> 00:13:04.077
Well, hold on.

00:13:04.278 --> 00:13:05.581
Where's your my flop meter?

00:13:05.581 --> 00:13:07.697
Yeah, why are you flopping it?

00:13:07.697 --> 00:13:17.298
It was hot for two weeks and I feel like after a month the reaction I got after those first two weeks was not even close and I thought it would be literally the song of the summer.

00:13:17.298 --> 00:13:18.735
Never just turned into that, not even close.

00:13:18.735 --> 00:13:20.198
And I thought it would be literally the song of the summer.

00:13:20.198 --> 00:13:20.880
Never just turned into that.

00:13:20.880 --> 00:13:22.164
I feel like it had like a run and then it was done.

00:13:22.184 --> 00:13:29.955
now I play it like very sparingly, it has to be the right crowd where it would make sense I must say it was the song of the summer if you were, like, at the beach, out on the boat.

00:13:29.955 --> 00:13:40.412
It wasn't the song of the summer if you were out on the dance floor right I thought it was great, so much better if I was out on the boat and I'm bumping that, or like zach bryan, like I was, like I'm living right now.

00:13:40.572 --> 00:13:47.192
Yeah, I was feeling it next category would be top five gig songs of 2024 I did have that, I did have.

00:13:47.312 --> 00:13:49.057
I had some help, I was on there, okay.

00:13:49.057 --> 00:13:51.831
But let me be fair and go back to what you were saying.

00:13:51.831 --> 00:13:57.136
That was my number five and these are kind of in no particular order, but I would say it was just like you said.

00:13:57.136 --> 00:13:59.789
I had the shortest window yeah, of these songs.

00:14:00.110 --> 00:14:09.259
So let's go back and forth okay, one, I'll do one okay and this is no pick your order, but gimme, gimme abba, still crushing every time I play it.

00:14:09.259 --> 00:14:12.692
It's one of the biggest reaction songs of the night, jeez man.

00:14:12.913 --> 00:14:17.894
I mean we dropped it once or twice this year, but like I need to send, you the right edit, it's super short.

00:14:17.894 --> 00:14:19.116
Did you mess with it some more?

00:14:19.116 --> 00:14:20.600
Doesn't it say Brian B's edit or?

00:14:20.620 --> 00:14:21.732
something it does In and out.

00:14:21.854 --> 00:14:24.738
I know you gave me that and I think I've failed to play it.

00:14:24.909 --> 00:14:25.561
So maybe that's the problem.

00:14:25.561 --> 00:14:35.057
It's gotta be early, too Early, like Like first dance set First 30, 40 minutes, I wouldn't go playing it, would you ever?

00:14:35.076 --> 00:14:35.697
substitute for one.

00:14:36.018 --> 00:14:36.839
Dancing Queen would Right.

00:14:36.839 --> 00:14:38.481
Okay, number two.

00:14:38.902 --> 00:14:40.705
That's that me espresso.

00:14:41.085 --> 00:14:42.716
Okay, you vote for that song.

00:14:42.716 --> 00:14:45.090
It's another one, tough one, that's like Please, please, please.

00:14:45.230 --> 00:14:46.433
To me was not it.

00:14:46.855 --> 00:14:49.061
Really yeah, see, I'm the opposite, yeah.

00:14:49.350 --> 00:14:52.176
Espresso was it for me, and even that song Taste by her.

00:14:52.356 --> 00:14:53.119
I really like.

00:14:59.629 --> 00:15:01.538
Taste song, a great pop song, but I don't know that anybody's come up and asked for it.

00:15:01.538 --> 00:15:08.620
But when it comes on the radio I'm like, wow, this is actually a masterpiece of a pop song she killed this year, by the way yeah, I mean sold out lenovo a couple of weeks ago here, like she's.

00:15:08.820 --> 00:15:12.755
She's a big star I just picked songs when they came out.

00:15:12.755 --> 00:15:15.962
They weren't necessarily released in 24, 24 oh yeah, I'm not.

00:15:15.982 --> 00:15:18.898
I'm not gonna be like a stickler for that okay, so Still the One.

00:15:18.898 --> 00:15:19.961
Shania Twain.

00:15:19.961 --> 00:15:21.514
Oh, okay, I think I went.

00:15:21.514 --> 00:15:23.201
Stuff that came out in like In 2024.

00:15:23.201 --> 00:15:23.702
Yeah, I'm sorry.

00:15:23.929 --> 00:15:25.092
So mine's Still the One.

00:15:25.092 --> 00:15:27.096
Shania Twain Original.

00:15:27.096 --> 00:15:29.160
No, no, that's doo-doo.

00:15:29.160 --> 00:15:34.352
Yeah, you got to go Revis.

00:15:34.413 --> 00:15:36.674
Alone at Midnight 2024.

00:15:36.674 --> 00:15:37.514
Can you send it?

00:15:37.534 --> 00:15:37.674
to me.

00:15:37.695 --> 00:15:38.336
Crushes.

00:15:38.336 --> 00:15:39.736
Are you playing that over?

00:15:39.736 --> 00:15:42.259
Man, I Feel Like a Woman if you had to pick.

00:15:42.859 --> 00:15:44.681
A different part of the night late, late night.

00:15:44.681 --> 00:15:46.962
This would be somebody who's pushing the envelope.

00:15:46.962 --> 00:15:53.107
Like you wouldn't see this one coming but it's sing-along, but it's just a banger of a track that edit Okay.

00:15:54.750 --> 00:15:55.471
I had to double down on this Again.

00:15:55.471 --> 00:15:58.559
I was pulling from this year Pink Pony Club and H-O-T-T-O-G-O.

00:15:58.559 --> 00:15:59.682
I had to double down.

00:15:59.870 --> 00:16:01.193
I mean just out of nowhere.

00:16:01.515 --> 00:16:02.720
You know breakout artists.

00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:04.658
I could pull either of those and smash.

00:16:04.950 --> 00:16:07.860
Yeah, I had Pink Pony Club as well.

00:16:08.049 --> 00:16:09.095
Yeah, it goes crazy.

00:16:09.095 --> 00:16:12.197
That song is About Dancing in a Street Club, though, right.

00:16:12.650 --> 00:16:15.197
It is, and I also feel like you gotta basically bring it up a little bit in tempo.

00:16:15.197 --> 00:16:20.548
You got to basically bring it up a little bit in tempo, like it's kind of around 105, 107.

00:16:20.548 --> 00:16:22.735
Yeah, I don't know that, I've got the right edit.

00:16:22.936 --> 00:16:23.820
The intro is weird.

00:16:23.820 --> 00:16:27.706
We lost the energy for a second this weekend and then it came around.

00:16:27.706 --> 00:16:32.277
Yeah, so you got to go and it was very generational, like I saw the people that were my age there.

00:16:32.277 --> 00:16:44.321
Yeah, they didn't really get it when the bride and groom and their crowd was into it.

00:16:44.268 --> 00:16:45.347
Yeah, they had to kind of sell the older crowd on it.

00:16:45.294 --> 00:16:47.163
Yeah, if that makes sense you got to go right to the chorus, I think that was the problem.

00:16:47.110 --> 00:16:47.667
Yeah, so right where it goes.

00:16:47.614 --> 00:16:50.443
No, I wouldn't even do that that's a break, oh, that's a break in the, so not the pre-course no, people do like that.

00:16:50.464 --> 00:16:51.745
Sing along part right they do.

00:16:51.846 --> 00:16:52.768
Oh, I do play that.

00:16:52.768 --> 00:16:53.929
I play what you're saying.

00:16:54.049 --> 00:17:01.404
I'm going right to the right and then circle back, wow, da-na-na-na-na-na, and then circle back, oh, because you got the energy all there.

00:17:01.404 --> 00:17:03.615
They're like oh, I'm singing it and it's not a great player.

00:17:03.990 --> 00:17:05.595
The pre-course is a downer Right.

00:17:05.595 --> 00:17:06.176
Yeah.

00:17:06.417 --> 00:17:07.280
And I had to fix that.

00:17:07.280 --> 00:17:08.911
That's where I went wrong Because.

00:17:08.911 --> 00:17:14.615
I did try it that way and it didn't work.

00:17:14.655 --> 00:17:17.479
I had some help Espresso, Hot To Go, Pink Bunny Club.

00:17:17.479 --> 00:17:19.280
And then I'm going back to your boy, Shaboosie.

00:17:19.280 --> 00:17:20.403
Again, I was pulling.

00:17:20.403 --> 00:17:22.065
I'm sorry, I read the question wrong.

00:17:22.285 --> 00:17:23.526
I got two more, then Okay, go ahead.

00:17:23.526 --> 00:17:25.917
This one's been killing it for two years.

00:17:26.219 --> 00:17:26.480
Okay.

00:17:27.130 --> 00:17:27.751
Love Story.

00:17:27.751 --> 00:17:29.817
The Disco Lines, remix Taylor.

00:17:29.837 --> 00:17:31.020
Swift, I love that version.

00:17:31.020 --> 00:17:35.032
It will never get old, yeah.

00:17:35.133 --> 00:17:38.556
I do play that sometimes too, just to be fresh.

00:17:38.556 --> 00:17:42.397
But the disco lines it never, does not work.

00:17:42.417 --> 00:17:43.419
Do you ever play the original?

00:17:43.659 --> 00:17:44.380
No, never.

00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:45.641
I did play it Saturday.

00:17:45.641 --> 00:17:53.487
I felt like this girl was a purist and I was worried that a Swifty would go apeshit if I dropped a non-Taylor's version.

00:17:53.487 --> 00:17:54.448
I just got worried.

00:17:58.351 --> 00:18:01.058
Last second I jumped off the Dua Lipa edit of it and went to the original.

00:18:01.078 --> 00:18:07.178
That's why I do like the Disco Lines version because the intro of it starts with the original Just the guitar, yeah, and then it kind of goes into it Pure Okay.

00:18:07.349 --> 00:18:09.478
And my last one in that top five.

00:18:09.478 --> 00:18:13.300
So I had Gimme Gimme Still the One Pink Pony Club Love Story.

00:18:13.300 --> 00:18:15.557
Last one Million Dollar, baby Tommy Richmond.

00:18:15.557 --> 00:18:18.278
It still works.

00:18:18.298 --> 00:18:21.071
I know me and saquon talked about tommy richmond several times.

00:18:21.071 --> 00:18:23.299
He would be like I feel like tonight's the night.

00:18:23.299 --> 00:18:26.852
We flirted with it and we just maybe a couple times we dropped it.

00:18:26.852 --> 00:18:32.335
We didn't get great reaction of that, or, uh, the devil don't lie or what is well, I don't think you ever dropped that one.

00:18:32.556 --> 00:18:34.950
Okay, I don't think you dropped that one, even though I like that song.

00:18:35.111 --> 00:18:38.814
Maybe it's just the crowds that we or we didn't we have, or we didn't have the right edit, we didn't have the right crowd, I don't know.

00:18:38.834 --> 00:18:40.275
We just never really had that younger.

00:18:40.275 --> 00:18:42.195
Yes, I mean, the older people are not going to like.

00:18:42.336 --> 00:18:43.557
Tommy Richmond, they're not going to know.

00:18:44.192 --> 00:18:45.067
I ain't never been there.

00:18:45.491 --> 00:18:49.625
He's got the in and out two yeah are you playing the uptempo version?

00:18:49.866 --> 00:18:55.827
uh, it's a transition edit right, and it goes back and forth, so it goes from like 62 to 130.

00:18:55.827 --> 00:18:58.537
The version to get it just came out not too long ago.

00:18:58.537 --> 00:19:03.049
Dj scene our boy I love scene he's amazing scene complimented on my reel yesterday.

00:19:03.130 --> 00:19:20.208
The girl that goes anything yeah, he goes anything, he's great, he's the best shout out dj scene uh, his version, his edit, which starts with lose control, it goes into lose control with missy elliott over that beat and then drops back to the oh yeah it crushes and what's great about it.

00:19:20.208 --> 00:19:25.432
You know, usually those transition edits, they go from like, let's say, 62 to like 130 and then you're done, and then it comes back.

00:19:25.432 --> 00:19:29.244
Yeah this goes back to 62 and then goes back again to 130.

00:19:29.244 --> 00:19:32.051
So you can kind of see if you want to end it up 62.

00:19:32.112 --> 00:19:40.770
You can go back to the low stuff or, if you want to go on a high note oh genius, all right, so wrapping this up, we wanted to talk about trends we're looking up at the monitor.

00:19:40.830 --> 00:19:43.365
Whenever you see us looking up like that, we have a monitor up there.

00:19:43.365 --> 00:19:44.366
So, yeah, I like this.

00:19:44.366 --> 00:19:50.449
The trends of the year, I guess yeah, for gigs like stuff that you saw at events, what were yours?

00:19:50.449 --> 00:19:51.250
Anything new?

00:19:51.250 --> 00:19:52.313
No, nothing new.

00:19:52.313 --> 00:19:54.106
I mean, you know we've talked about this before.

00:19:54.106 --> 00:19:57.027
I mean we're three to six years behind.

00:19:57.047 --> 00:19:59.112
you know, Jersey Sparkler exits, yeah.

00:20:00.220 --> 00:20:01.886
Sparkler exits are brand new here.

00:20:01.886 --> 00:20:02.862
Bubbles no.

00:20:02.862 --> 00:20:05.921
The live musicians definitely saw more of Private.

00:20:05.921 --> 00:20:07.046
Last Dance is huge.

00:20:07.046 --> 00:20:09.142
Now A lot of people are ordering their own foamy glow sticks.

00:20:09.142 --> 00:20:12.869
Huge now, a lot of people were ordering their own foamy glow sticks prime dancing.

00:20:12.869 --> 00:20:18.407
And then I definitely played a little bit more EDM and I'll use that term loosely.

00:20:18.407 --> 00:20:20.275
I don't want to act like I'm Jarman.

00:20:20.275 --> 00:20:27.329
Van Buren or something, but I mean like Titanium Clarity, the Gettas Calvin Harris's of the world.

00:20:27.329 --> 00:20:30.088
It was big later in the night.

00:20:30.882 --> 00:20:38.506
And I love those records I wrote down and I'm seeing it more just across the country, maybe not so much in Raleigh, but the nightlife signs, the Janai.

00:20:38.526 --> 00:20:38.727
Yeah.

00:20:38.906 --> 00:20:51.001
People bring in their own letters to the last name walking in the first time I ever saw it, honestly actually from what?

00:20:51.001 --> 00:20:51.082
Jen.

00:20:51.082 --> 00:20:53.913
I told me he could have started a movement because well, now everybody's doing, yeah, everyone's copying that.

00:20:53.952 --> 00:21:03.624
Yeah, and I I honestly think it was jen I who kind of like got that headline the movement, yeah I don't know that we really give him enough props or he may know, but he's kind of humble about it.

00:21:03.624 --> 00:21:09.193
Very, he instigated the entire youtube dj movement.

00:21:09.193 --> 00:21:11.545
I mean that motherfucker was making vlogs.

00:21:11.545 --> 00:21:19.932
Yeah, before I even knew how to operate a camera, he was making vlogs a decade ago not only you were just now trying to figure it out.

00:21:20.099 --> 00:21:23.749
Not only that, he started the furniture movement, not even a question.

00:21:23.769 --> 00:21:27.394
No, he actually started it like he was one of the first people brought that shit in from germany.

00:21:27.394 --> 00:21:30.022
Then, when other people started doing that, he started making his own.

00:21:30.022 --> 00:21:34.593
I went to his office his original office yeah, yeah the dude behind him was like a wood shop.

00:21:34.593 --> 00:21:36.023
I've been to that shop it's like an old man.

00:21:36.023 --> 00:21:39.281
He just would go in there with like random drawings and be like can you build this?

00:21:39.321 --> 00:21:51.137
