BOT Takes On Usher Vs. Swizz Beatz

This week on the pod the boys are joined by New York’s very own Thando1988 (@thando1988) for a battle between Anita Baker vs Gladys Knight. Following the lightning round the boys discuss open format djing for work, feeding the soul with original music production (including his releases on Fools Gold and the the impact of A Trak playing out his tunes) and the hot topic of ghost producers in dance music. We touch on what the scene is like currently in New York, Thando’s trip to Ibiza and the influence of what he heard and blue collar djing while also playing sets that satisfy your tastes. All this and so much more. Fire it up!

This week on @5on5podcast the boys talk club longevity, venues closing, and the remaining interest of twitch in the dj community. Neek recaps his Portland visit, and the boys start a cult. Be honest, you knew this was coming… fire it up.

This week on @5on5podcast the boys sit down to discuss and pay respects to the unsung hero: the wedding dj. Neek recounts an off the wall story from his party years, and Jupiter somehow negotiates the potential of him getting married in order for us to start drinking again for one night only. The boys discuss a good first dance song, open bar or cash bar, if they would dj their own wedding, and who would be their first pick. Meet us at the alter, we’re going of the rails!

This week on the pod the boys sat down with Philly legend EMYND (@emynd) for a grueling down to the wire battle between The Doors vs Nirvana. The show leads off with a dj assessment of working sober vs drinking and how both sides of the coin have their pros and cons. After we dive into Emil’s warehouse history, throwing a long-standing party with @Bo_bliz and why the DIY era had a lasting impression on who he is as a DJ. We dive into Neek’s recently Tiktok stardom, take a closer look at pineapple on pizza, and examine the fact that the Earth is moving a bit faster as a dancing king these days. We’re off the rails and having fun. Fire it up.

This week on the podcast we head down to Texas for a catch-up with Portland royalty dj producer extraordinaire TROX (@iamtrox). We lead off with a Texas size between Paul Wall vs Mike Jones before we ramble through the lightning round. TROX takes us on a journey through his history as a producer and dj including getting a big call from J Cole, surviving on goldfish and beer during a hellish winter down south, and keeping multiple coals in the fire working on personal projects he loves. We also predict a future in which TROX handles Popeye’s menu and dive into Neek’s evening with new best friend Leon Bridges. We had an absolute blast sitting down with TROX and can’t wait to do it again. Let’s get into it.

We lead off with a bloghouse revival with MSTRKRFT vs Digitalism before ripping through the lightning round. We dive into David’s history as a Vegas DJ and the chaos of Kaos nightclub at the Palms. David shares anecdotes from the earl 2010’s era of Las Vegas bottle service nightlife and the boys dive deeper into yet ANOTHER conspiracy: What is the “pink” in pink lemonade?! You’ll have to stick around til the end to find out. Let’s rock.
