DJ and music producer Anthony Mansfield has been a keen observer of the psychedelic dance music landscape since he began DJing in the early 1990’s. His career has taken him across the country and overseas to share his unique and nuanced perspective with open-minded dancefloor denizens of all sorts. Our wide ranging interview with Anthony touches on topics from his earliest DJ experiences, to co-founding the Disco Knights collective who performs for thousands at Burning Man, among other things.Be sure to check out this episode’s companion mix by DJ Anthony Mansfield to get a sense of his flavor and musical point of view:https://www.mixcloud.com/BetweenTheDecks/between-the-decks-ep-4-companion-mix-dj-anthony-mansfield-performed-at-club-space-miami/Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/betweenthedecks/DJ Anthony Mansfield links:IG — https://www.instagram.com/anthonymansfield/Soundcloud — https://soundcloud.com/anthony-mansfieldJuno: https://bit.ly/amansfieldjunoOther things mentioned in this episode:Burning Man Festival: https://burningman.org/Jackass show: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackass_(franchise)New York State Fair On-The-One DJ Festival: https://on.ny.gov/3VYcdpzRochester Fringe Festival: http://bit.ly/3HC3bKCDiscover Cayuga Lake DJ Cruises: https://www.discovercayugalake.org/Author Elaine Mansfield (Anthony’s mother): https://elainemansfield.com/Deep Dive Ithaca venue: https://www.deepdiveithaca.com/DJ Jeno “Bang the Drum” mixtape: SIDE A—https://www.mixcloud.com/ohm_r/jeno-bang-the-drum-side-a-1992mp3/SIDE B— https://www.mixcloud.com/ohm_r/jeno-bang-the-drum-side-b-1992mp3/
Should DJs know the history of their art form and culture? Does the gear DJs use define them? The conversation heats up with our first roundtable discussion about DJ culture and community! DJ ha-MEEN and DJ Bella J are joined by 3 talented and insightful Hip Hop/ open format jocks from NYC, all now repping Syracuse: DJ Maestro, DJ Shaykey, and DJ Lasheem for a lively discussion about the state of the DJ landscape.
On this episode, ha-MEEN and Bella J are joined by the world-famous DJ Ease, who stopped by for an interview and to perform a quick set for the studio audience. Bella J also tells us why she loves Remy Ma and her new battle rap venture, Chrome 23: Queens Get the Money. Also... in the middle of recording this episode, the infamous Will Smith smack heard 'round the world happened at the Oscars (which the hosts kept referring to as the Grammys by accident).
