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
