In this episode we share the stories and concert experiences of our fellow concert fan Ted (aka DJ Talk). Ted shares his childhood experiences and journey into live DJing and his hip hop and rap concert experiences in Philadelphia, New Jersey, Virginia and California. We explore the emotional experience created by live DJs and the role of the DJ in controlling and guiding the hearts and minds of the audience.
We dive into Ted’s love for exploring different venues, bars, and stages on South Street in Philadelphia, and his passion for obscure places to see shows. We explored Ted’s love for underground clubs and their unique features and intimate moments.
Ted shares why he returned to Philadelphia after his mother's passing, and why his discovery of the city's unique music scene was so meaningful to him, and why the British DJs, and the rave scene had such an impact on him.
We explore how he spontaneously found himself at a Grand Puba concert one night in Virginia, the creative concert merch and marketing of Nicki Minaj's merchandise and Ted’s honest viewpoint from the side of the stage during Minaj’s concert.
