The XONE Killer? Union Audio elara.6 Review

Despite some people (like Mojaxx) not being big fans of it, the Xone 92 is without a doubt the best selling DJ mixer of all time. Allen & Heath themselves have produced a MKII version for 2025, but there’s also a new player in the 4+2 club mixer game – the Union Audio elara.6 from the original creator of the 92, Andy Rigby-Jones. Mojaxx examines the elara.6, and finds out what elevates it above that classic design.

Check out Mojaxx’s review of the elara.6 from Union Audio on DJcity TV.

R.O.A.D. Podcast – Brad LeBeau: From the Early Days of Disco to a Record Promo Dynasty

This week on @RoadPodcast, the crew sits down with legendary music marketer, DJ, and founder of @promotion1983, Brad LeBeau, for an unfiltered conversation on the evolution of dance music, the hustle behind hit records, and the personal cost of chasing legacy in the industry. With his company “PRO MOTION” celebrating 42 years at the forefront of record promotion, Brad reflects on the moments that defined his journey. Brad opens up about his early DJ days, sharing how his father’s advice shaped his outlook (4:42), and how substance use became a short-lived fix for performance anxiety (08:33). He reflects on his time at Discoteca magazine and witnessing the birth of disco in America (21:01), before diving into his first major solo promotion: @Afrika_Bambaataa_Official and Soulsonic Force’s “Planet Rock” (23:01). He breaks down his philosophy on record promotion, working with @DianaRoss in 2017 (49:11), and his brief but dramatic collaboration with @LouieVega on an official Diana Ross remix—and their eventual falling out (1:13:34). Brad shares his thoughts on streaming vs. selling singles (1:34:01), the devaluation of music through price drops, theft, and convenience (1:45:15), and his continued love for the craft despite industry changes. He also recounts working with Gloria Estefan and the little-known backstory of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” (2:13:01). The episode wraps with a deep dive into DJ edit culture, the economics of remixes, and the growing disconnect between record labels and working DJs (2:23:01).
