The Importance of Open Format DJs

Episode 243: House Vs. EDM On this week’s episode of the @RoadPodcast, the fellas welcome a collective of Las Vegas heavyweights @SheckyGreenLV, @EddieMacLV, @DJLema, and @Spydatekzilla to expand on a previous discussion (from Episode #237) which sparked a major debate online "House vs EDM" (1:20). They discuss the birth of Electronic/Dance Music and how EDM became a “bad word” (8:14). They speak about the “death of disco” (22:34), ghost producing in EDM (46:55) and annoying "Clock DJs" (1:06:15). Shecky explains that during times of economic hardships, people listen to music with faster BPMs (1:08:20) and Eddie Mac recounts a frustrating interaction opening for @DavidGuetta (1:12:37). The fellas discuss local DJs in Las Vegas conforming to a dated formula that venues have been following (1:41:42). Finally, Crooked shares his desire to spin longer sets (1:47:15) and recaps a recent experience with an opener (1:49:42).
