In Episode 2 of Everyday Experts, you'll hear from DJ Big Will, a Chicago-based DJ and Resident DJ of Thee Debauchery Ball. In our initial conversation, held in the fall of 2019, you'll hear about the work that goes into planning for a 500-person dance party -- and how his job as a DJ is to keep his cool, "read the room," and stay as organized as possible.
While the 2020 pandemic temporarily made it impossible to DJ in front of large crowds, DJ Big Will picked up a couple of side projects and even dipped his toe in the waters of virtual dance parties. You'll hear about that, and what he's learned along the way, in our follow-up conversation from the winter of 2020.
Until the return of live dance parties, you'll find DJ Big Will DJ'ing the Underground Dance Suite on Friday nights at www.gottahavehouseradio.com, You can also listen to his mixes on SoundCloud and on YouTube, and also find him on Instagram. Watch Thee Debauchery Ball documentary on Kweli TV or on YouTube.
