R.O.A.D. Podcast – DJ SNIPS, KARL BRISSEAUX, SVPPLY & MOOCHIE: How Vinyl DJs Redefined NYC Nightlife

This week on @RoadPodcast, the crew sits down with @Moochie, @DJSvpply, @Snipsmusic, and @KBrissy to talk about @RecordRoom and vinyl parties.

The episode begins with Crooked reflecting on his first time attending Record Room and what immediately stood out (03:20), before the crew breaks down why vinyl sets earn more trust from audiences, from the visual curiosity of watching a DJ work to the difference between a DJ and a vinyl selector mindset (12:40). They explore why letting songs play longer works better in today’s shortened attention economy , the origins of Record Room and NYC’s Sway era, and the early days of Suede, including the choice to identify as vinyl DJs in 2025 (18:50).

The conversation dives into why R&B sounds so good on vinyl, the importance of bridges, nuance, and letting records breathe, even at prime time (32:30). From there, the crew talks about party arcs, creative limitations, building crowds that trust DJs enough to book weeks ahead, and competing with couches instead of clubs (53:40).

The episode closes with reflections on NYC nightlife legacy (1:03:10), curating an authentic New York experience (1:13:01), the cost of vinyl (1:21:05), rocking parties without obvious hits, and the personal relationships DJs have with their records (2:02:01).

Half the size, half the fun? AlphaTheta DJM-V5 Review

The DJM-V10 from Pioneer DJ took their club mixers in a new direction, but garnered some real fans – including Mojaxx. Now, AlphaTheta have release the DJM-V5, which is effectively a smaller, more affordable version of the V10, with three channels. It includes lots of the features found on the original, as well as some new ones, but there’s one big omission which could potentially limit it’s appeal to different types of DJs. Mojaxx gives it a full review on the new episode of Beatsource Tech.

Check out the Mojaxx’s review of the DJM-V5 from AlphaTheta on DJcity TV.

Rane SYSTEM ONE: The WORLD EXCLUSIVE FIRST REVIEW

Rane have seen huge success with their recent controller releases – the FOUR, the PERFOMER, and the ONE MKII. But they all have one thing in common – they are just controllers. With the new SYSTEM ONE, the company have leveraged tech used by their other inMusic brands, and added in Engine DJ support, making this the first all-in-one spinning platter device to hit the market.

Thanks to more powerful processing, and a new Omnisource architecture, the SYSTEM ONE also provides an upgraded experience with Engine OS, too, so it’s sure to make a big impact.

Mojaxx has been testing the SYSTEM ONE for months already, so Rane have agreed to let us release his review a day before anyone else’s, meaning that the new episode of Beatsource Tech is a true world exclusive.

Check out Mojaxx’s world exclusive first review of the SYSTEM ONE from Rane on DJcity TV.
