R.O.A.D. Podcast – HICKIES + DRYHUMPS: A SoCal Party That Became a Filipino Movement ft. Esentrik

This episode of Road Podcast features @JulzDelaPena and @Esentrik breaking down how real DJ careers evolve, from Julz getting into weddings and understanding presentation (02:05). The conversation touches on the reality of DJ promo culture, online bravado, and mentorship (07:03).

The crew then speaks on DJ friendships, leaving retail to focus on parties, and changing economics (10:10). Julz revisits the roots of @HickiesAndDryhumps, why the party originally felt like a house party, and how moments like @MilesMedina and @JustBlaze pulling up after the Goldie Awards shaped its growth (25:07), before diving into Filipino classics and the quiet influence of Filipino DJs in nightlife (29:01).

The crew then talks about San Diego’s venues, DJ unity, and why the city’s crowds feel more receptive and fun than Hollywood (47:59). Esentrik explains his showcase style of DJing and crowd reading (57:01).

The episode closes with viral Seafood City DJ pop-ups (1:15:01), shrinking DJ rates, and promotion strategies (1:25:01).

In the XONE! Allen & Heath Xone:24C and K3 Review

Allen & Heath’s Xone series tend to stick around for a long time, and that proved to be the case with their previous 23 and 23C entry-level mixers. They’ve finally received an update, though, with the 24 and 24C, which feature the same kind of analogue sound, but with a more up-to-date feature set. The same applies to the K3, the new addition to the company’s beloved K series of controllers, so Mojaxx reviews both on the new episode of Beatsource Tech.

Check out Mojaxx’s world review of the Xone:24C and Xone:K3 from Allen & Heath on DJcity TV.
