Watch: Behind-the-Scenes at Phase’s ‘Live Session – Launch Tour’
The highly-anticipated release of the Phase wireless DJ system is just around the corner. But before it ships in September, Phase’s parent company Music World Media recently set off on a global tour to give DJs a chance to see the device in person. The tour features workshops, open sessions, and showcases, and will make stops throughout the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
To highlight what’s happening on Phase’s Live Session – Launch Tour, DJcityTV has partnered with MWM on a new series called Journey to: Phase Live Session. The series is presented by Battle Avenue director and Fresh Press host, Antriks, who will take viewers behind-the-scenes on tour.
The first episode takes place at the 2018 DJ Expo in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Antriks introduces the series then shows a preview of DJ Precision testing out Phase.

DJs Should Learn to Use Different Equipment
Many DJs have a certain set of equipment that they’re most familiar with. However, the gear you practice on in the studio might not be available at the club you’re performing at. But as long as you know how to use all the basic features, you should still be able to rock the crowd.
On this episode of DJcityTV’s Share the Knowledge, DJ TLM talks about why DJs should get familiar with different types of equipment.
