Shownotes

Donte knew he was wanted to be a DJ ever since he used to play with his dad's record player. We talk about:

  • His first gigs at Latitude 30 and his DJ name,
  • Playing for Kappa Alpha Psi and on campus,
  • Getting into the Austin DJ scene and playing downtown,
  • Building a crowd to be able to play whatever you want,
  • Dealing with promoters and undercutting,
  • His circle of DJ and other crews,
  • His short time as a rapper part of A&D,
  • Being a sober DJ,
  • Playing for Sway at SXSW,
  • About how he used to get in the crowd with his laptop,
  • What he would if he wasn't a DJ

Quote from the show:

"If you come to the club and you wanna hear a specific song but the crowd is not with you. You can't just go where you want to. You gotta build 'em up. They goin' on a ride with you. And when you get where you want to, you can whatever you want. You can turn it into a family reunion." - Donte
