This week on @RoadPodcast, the crew chops it up with Kansas City’s @djnickdavis. They reflect on meeting Nick early in his journey and stress how crucial it was to travel and experience other DJ scenes at a young age (00:55). The conversation shifts to the Midwest nightlife explosion, with cities like Wichita and Salt Lake City hosting incredible parties (06:50), and Nick breaks down how he’s built his out-of-town bookings through word-of-mouth and collaborations with Salt Lake City’s finest @bangarangthedj (10:04). He shares the origin story of his party Goodies and how it became a way to bring major DJs to KC who otherwise wouldn’t have come. Nick also reveals how he approaches travel gigs, opens up about wild KC “bottle wars,” and partying with Chiefs players like Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, and Patrick Mahomes (19:54), as well as how a single Chiefs game can shift the entire nightlife energy. Crooked dives into the KC sound with shoutouts to Kstylis and Tech N9ne (21:11), while Nick discusses the differences between KC and St. Louis artists (31:10) and the Bay Area’s influence on Kansas City’s culture (34:20). He opens up about doing everything himself to build Goodies (38:01), and the crew speaks on the risks and sacrifices they’ve all made to pursue DJing full-time (45:01). Later, Nick reflects on the internal conflict of balancing his identity as a solo artist vs. his event brand (1:05:01), and the group talks about work-life balance, delegation, and building long-term movements rooted in community and humility (1:14:52). Toward the end, Nick shares where he sees himself in five years, speaks on launching his Patreon, and vents about what grinds his gears (1:17:01). The episode wraps with a conversation about DJ goals, DMC dreams (1:21:05), viral routines from legends like @skratchbastid and @trayze (1:32:02), and why Nick hates the word “content”—even while feeding the algorithm (1:33:02).
