RØDE Make DJ Gear Now? NTH-50 Headphones Review

A company from outside the DJ space releasing a product aimed directly at DJs is quite a rare occurrence, but thats what we have with the NTH-50s, the new headphones from RØDE. That’s a brand usually associated with content creation, live streaming, and pro audio.

The NTH-50s have impressive specs, especially considering their relatively affordable price. Mojaxx tested them in the booth, to find out if RØDE really understand what DJs are looking for.

Check out Mojaxx’s review of the NTH-50 headphones from RØDE on DJcity TV.

R.O.A.D. Podcast – JASON JANI : The Wedding DJ Who Built a Private Event Powerhouse

This week on @RoadPodcast, the crew chops it up with @JasonJani — DJ, entrepreneur, and founder of @SCEEventGroup — as he shares his journey from New Jersey club nights to redefining private events. Jason recalls how he got his start in 1995, spinning at local spots like Deco Lounge and DJing on the Shore (2:30, 14:30). He talks about learning from setbacks (24:53) and how skills from corporate America helped shape his DJ business (25:48, 27:55). He explains how he broke the mold of the “cheesy wedding DJ” by bringing a nightclub mindset to private events (28:14), using YouTube to market himself (33:20), and building performances that spoke for themselves (35:34). From being recruited for the Watch The Throne tour to getting business advice from Virgil Abloh, Jason shares wild stories from the celebrity circuit and tour life with Ariana Grande (53:25–1:04:03). He breaks down SCE’s revenue model and creative team culture (1:17:30), gives props to @NickSpinelli for going viral (1:25:00), and opens up about leading a business through serious financial challenges and the pandemic (1:45:30–2:12:58). The episode wraps with Jason’s thoughts on DJs limiting themselves and why SCE launched its conference to push the private event scene forward (2:16:44).

The XONE Killer? Union Audio elara.6 Review

Despite some people (like Mojaxx) not being big fans of it, the Xone 92 is without a doubt the best selling DJ mixer of all time. Allen & Heath themselves have produced a MKII version for 2025, but there’s also a new player in the 4+2 club mixer game – the Union Audio elara.6 from the original creator of the 92, Andy Rigby-Jones. Mojaxx examines the elara.6, and finds out what elevates it above that classic design.

Check out Mojaxx’s review of the elara.6 from Union Audio on DJcity TV.
