The Latest Portablism Gear
DJcityTV’s Mojaxx takes a look at the latest portablism gear for this week’s episode of Tips and Tricks. Products discussed include Numark’s PT01 Scratch turntable, Jesse Dean’s JDDX2R fader, and DJ ResQ’s ResQ BT1 speaker.
Watch Teeko’s Innovative Set for the MikiDz Show
There have been a few standout performances on DJcity’s MikiDz Show over the years, but Monday’s episode with Teeko was one of the most innovative. The Bay Area native’s set featured skilled turntablism, soulful instrumentation, and raps from special guest Aziz the Shake. Teeko’s setup was also unorthodox, as it consisted of a Vestax Controller One turntable, Native Instruments Z2 mixer and F1 controller, Roland Gaia synth, and talk box. There’s a reason why legends like DJ Jazzy Jeff, A-Trak, and Shortkut have praised Teeko, and on Monday he showed it once again.
Watch Teeko’s set and interview below and download the audio on iTunes.

TJR Discusses His Approach to DJing

TJR discussed his approach to DJing in a recent interview with SFX-owned event production company Disco Donnie.
“I don’t play with a planned set,” the Connecticut native said. “I do have some areas in my sets [that are routines] so I kinda know ahead of time in those little areas. But it’s about simplifying.”
TJR also talked about which equipment he uses and how he uses it.
“I like to try and use as much of the technology as possible, and a lot of that just comes from learning on vinyl,” he said. “That’s why I don’t use a computer. I just try and use what’s available on the CDJ [and] what’s available on the mixer.”

DJs Should Know How to Count Music
DJ TLM has returned with a new episode of Share the Knowledge, an educational series from DJcityTV aimed at beginner and intermediate DJs.
