Jonathan Shecter<\/a> aka “Shecky Green,” the co-founder of The Source magazine and current Editor-In-Chief for Cuepoint<\/a> at Medium, was recently a guest on the Reflections of a DJ<\/em> (R.O.A.D.) podcast.<\/p>\n

A former director of programming for the Wynn, Shecky played a key role in negotiating DJ AM’s groundbreaking deal with Las Vegas’ PURE Nightclub in 2006.<\/p>\n

During the convo, the show\u2019s co-host Crooked<\/a> asked Shecky about how he helped broker the deal. Shecky discusses how the negotiations went down and how it raised the bar for DJs going forward. He also talks about how the death of AM marked the beginning of the EDM era.<\/p>\n

Reflections of a DJ<\/em> is hosted by Las Vegas DJs Crooked, D-Miles<\/a>, Neva<\/a>, and Jaime Da Great<\/a>.<\/p>\n
