Watch: Indianapolis Represents on DJcityTV’s ‘Cutting Room’
Indianapolis isn’t exactly famous for its turntablism community. The Midwest city has some world-class talent, though. On this episode of DJcityTV’s Cutting Room, DJs ALEE, Billy Muff, Topspeed, Nathan Gregory, Nick Laguzza, Matsu, and Niko Flores represent for their city in a three-minute session. The video was filmed at the Deckademics DJ school.
You might remember Matsu and Muff from DJcityTV’s Bedroom Sessions series. Muff kicked off the series in 2013 and Matsu was featured on it in 2017 before becoming DJcity’s Midwest representative.

Review: Eventide H9 Harmonizer Effects Pedal
Mojaxx is always looking for ways to make his sets sound different from the next DJ, and Eventide’s H9 Harmonizer effects pedal does just that.
A respected brand in the world of effects, Eventide made its name in the ’70s with studio equipment. Its gear has been used by legendary musicians likes of Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, and Eno.
Its H9 Harmonizer was designed for guitar and synth players. However, as Mo points out, there have always been DJs who look for ways to bring studio-quality effects to the booth.
Watch his review above on this week’s Tips and Tricks.

DJ TLM: DJs Should Learn How to Play Longer Sets
While veteran DJs may be used to playing longer sets, new DJs might not be getting the same experience. Promoters have started booking more DJs per event, which means each DJ ends up with a shorter time slot. But there are a lot of skills that DJs can only learn by rocking a party for more than an hour.
On this episode of DJcityTV’s Share the Knowledge, DJ TLM talks about the advantages of playing longer sets and why promoters should book fewer DJs per event.
