DJ Josh Motion joins the crew to talk trance, house, techno, drum & bass, and the path from DIY CD players to high-torque turntables and modern digital decks.

He breaks down how looping, sync, and 4-deck layering changed what a “DJ set” even is, plus where to stream mixes today with fewer copyright headaches.

Along the way: late-night college radio, promo vinyl gems, and Connecticut club-era throwbacks.
