The Dizz presents Solly's Podcast

So recently my Mentor, Mixmaster88 (who's link is below) told me he could rock a crate of music on 70BPM all night. It's very true, so I thought I would give it a try on the Pioneer CDJ2000Nexus' and Pioneer DJM900SRT. Mixtape Monday is all about stretching my comfort zone getting familiar with gear to take my game to the next level. I recorded this set at Dancers Showclub, my club residency of 7...

Welcome back to another Mixtape Monday! This Week I decided to put together a West Coast mix on the Numark NVII, with some tunes that I plan on playing on Flash 107.6 FM Columbus. Take a listen and if you like what you hear, share it! https://www.pscp.tv/thedizz1979/follow https://twitch.tv/iamthedizz1979 https://www.mixcloud.com/thedizz https://tunein.com/radio/Flash1076-s296831/ https://tunein.c...

Each mix I do is an evolution from the last one, mistakes and all. Recently, I've incorporated scratching into some of my mixes, just as something to stretch my comfort zone. As a Dj everything you do has to be repeated correctly a number of times until it becomes second nature. Most of my mixes are on a 4 bar frame, while newer ones are 8 bars. Within that time period, I feel it's time to add mor...

Last year for my birthday, I did a mix for my birthday called #starkleavesclues, based on an Instagram hashtag and my favorite Marvel character, Tony Stark who is also known as Iron Man. When I make a mix, I consider it making a suit of armor. There's lot of components that go into a mix, and the more you do it, the better are the results. I decided to recreate this mix just for the Flash 107.6 FM...

Tonight's episode of Mixtape Monday we blend some house music with hip-hop. My ultimate goal has been to blend two totally different genres such as house and hip hop. How I do that is within the transitions. Drums are the heartbeat of the music. House has it's own unique vibe as well as newer hip-hop but I want to put together some tracks that my audience is familiar with while thorwing in a few e...

EDM is very much apart of my DNA when it comes to Djing. Last year, during The Tuesday Podcast, I spent a few hours discovering House music and it's sub-genres. A lot of music I play on my Podcast and mixtapes are based on feel. To me, it's easier to be creative that way as a Dj. Trance is something I'm totally new to, but it's something I want to present to my audience in 2018. Mixtape Monday is...

I haven't done a lot of old school mixes, but it's something that's becoming very much apart of my shows these days.

Welcome back to another Mixtape Monday! I decided to experiment with EDM and Hip Hop with some Top 40 hits in this mix with a nice tempo slide at the end. One of the most important things I've been working with this year with Djing is my transitions with tracks and my editing with sound. I feel like those are important elements to put together with any mix for your audience. https://www.pscp.tv/th...

Welcome back to another Mixtape Monday! I decided this week to one of my first sets of the night on a Saturday at my club residency.

Welcome back to another episode of Mixtape Monday, part of my #new52mixshow series. About a week ago, I was asked by the owner of Flash 107.6 FM Columbus, Ohio asked me if I wanted to do a new show on Tuesday nights. I took some time to think about what kind of show that would be good to do with newer Hip-Hop and R&B with some Top 40 remixes and dance tracks. Currently Old School Mondays on Fl...

The cool thing about the sudden pause in everyday life (esp. Nightlife) is having time to catch up. For me that comes in the form of music content.
