DJ Unprotected

🔥 Consulted the Oracle this weekend.  Paired well with a really smooth anejo ✨

Big plans coming up for the following blockchain sites... I am really excited about this!

Pumped to see how these develop in the future.  PS - drove by a highway 888 yesterday... coincidence?  LOL

I'm really excited for the future when it comes to artist and the digital environment.

Let's talk about Mackie Thump Go - which might be the BEST portable speaker for DJs, house parties, tailgating, picnics, pool parties, Sunday Funday, etc....

I purchased this speaker a few weeks ago when I was booked to DJ a wedding that required a sound source in an additional room for cocktail & dinner hour.

Let me tell you, I was seriously impressed with this speaker.  Prior to buying it I was conducting research and determined I had to check it out at Guitar Center.  Fortunately for me, when I got there the staff had a Mackie Thump Go all set up to test out at the counter.  Took 30 seconds for me to make my decision.

Pros:

• Light weight (under 20 lbs)
• Option to have stereo input (via AUX or 2x inputs)
• Music ducking option with mic plugged in
• Different output sounds settings
  • Highly recommend speech for speeches!
• Has the typical Mackie type sound:  aggressive and offers some bass

Cons:

• Pricey (might be worth it if there's usability at gigs (don't let it sit in storage!)
• Need a carry bag (can't find one yet)

Overall review:  I would definitely recommend this for DJs who have steady gig.  If mobile gigs don't require additional speakers for spare rooms, you could definitely have this speaker on hand for club gigs because I think this also works well as a monitor speaker.  You can plug in an RCA to Stereo cable and plug it in the AUX input for use as a monitor. 

What are your thoughts on this device?  Is this something you could use for house parties?  Let me know!

On April 19th I'm super excited to get involved with a program that's going to help me grow in my music career.  Can't wait to begin that experience.

I'm currently on vacation with my family.  Still making music while at the beach, working on dj sets with my Denon DJ Prime Go (as you know... is one of my favorite music gear to travel with!), and forecasting more marketing plans. 

I've got a lot of music to present but I want to go about a different way.  Patience is important for artists.  I appreciate all of your support.  Stay tuned!

Laced Radio 56 features some really dope remixes and original tracks.  I shared one of my recent remix competition submissions in this mix because the artist doesn't allow remixers to share the competition on social media (silly, I know!)  We've talked about that before... the DJ has so much impact on music and how it's shared to new listeners.  Anyway, we're not getting on that soap box today!
