The great DJ Mel is back on the podcast and he brought along DJ Jah Mighty. These 2 veteran DJs had so many stories to tell and good advice to give. We talk about:
- Jah Mighty‘s inspiration to become a DJ
- His involvement with Soul Shakedown then Ring The Alarm
- The local DJ scene, the DJ crews
- DJing weddings
Quote of the show: “Taking it back to a working relationship. For the most part, Mel carried most of the weight when it came to killing the crowd. My biggest enjoyment was when I was passing the baton and the crowd was kinda nice, moving and dancing.” – DJ Jah Mighty
