I started DJing again recently.

And so I began talking to, there's this amazing shop here called Moog, M-O-O-G, Moog Audio.

Amazing, like legendary music shop in the world, but certainly here in Montreal.

Yeah.

And so I started going to the shop more often, hanging out there and like listening to the DJs.

I ended up meeting one of these guys, Alex, who runs a shop and asking him like, so how do you think about like when you beat mix, what do you do?

Is it eight beat counts or using new technology?

How do you think about fading?

There's something called stems in DJing.

So you take a song, there are three stems.

There's basically the drum bass, like the beat, there's the vocals and there's the instrumentals.

And I was like, when I was DJing, we couldn't necessarily identify or isolate stems.
