In this episode of the podcast, we dive into a mix of pop culture and music with some exciting topics! First, we chat about the Oscars and the monumental sweep by Anora at this year's awards. Then, we discuss Lewis Hamilton's inspiring Time magazine cover and his powerful statement about not wanting to be compared to other athletes at 40. But the heart of this episode is all about vinyl DJing. I sit down with Mustafa Ali-Smith, a NYC-based vinyl DJ who just celebrated his one-year anniversary in the scene. We explore the craft of DJing, the significance of understanding an artist’s full body of work, and his unique event series, Cue The Record . Mustafa shares his approach to playing albums in their entirety, analyzing not just the music, but the story behind it. Plus, we dive into some fun rapid-fire questions about his favorite venues, song requests, and much more. It’s a fun and insightful conversation that mixes music, art, and culture — perfect for anyone who loves the craft of DJing or appreciates great storytelling. Tune in for a great time!
