Episode notes
The club looks the same… but everything about DJ’ing—and the crowd—has changed.
Capital J and D.L. Glass sit down with Deron Juan (102 Jamz / Heavy Hitters) to break down the real shift from the vinyl era to today’s waveform era: why DJs run through songs faster, how attention spans (and social media) changed the whole party, why dance floors are basically extinct, and what DJs used to have to do (scratching, bringing it back, “save-me” records) just to survive a night.
They also get into the truth about multi-DJ lineups, promoters chasing flyer hype over execution, and how Deron Juan still breaks records—using radio + social media—like the new-school version of what DJs used to do with pure influence.
If you ever wondered why parties don’t feel like “back in the day,” this one explains it from the people who lived both eras.
Tap in, share it with a DJ, and tell us: are today’s parties better… or just different?
