Young DJ Academy

The Young DJ Academy is happy to announce the launch of its brand new mix series. Its been a while coming but its sure to be worth the wait. The academy plans to post up special guest mixes from young dj’s who have been involved with the academy. For some dj’s this will be the first step into a new world of performance and exposure. Hopefully they will be lacing these mixes with their own individual styles and judging on our first edition things are looking good.

We kick things off with a mix from DJ Rasrob, who offers up his musicality for all to hear…….

Rob Mwangi (aka DJ Rasrob) hails from Kenya originally but has been in the emarald isle for some years now. At just 20 years old he has taken his interest in music to new peaks through dj’ing. The longest running member of the academy, Rob has shown a keen eye for many styles of music in the past few years but his reggae roots have taken a firm grip. Rob was in his very early teens when he was exposed to reggae djs and bands in his home town. All his spare time soon became about hanging with them, asking questions, helping out at gigs and most importantly loving the music and seeing the effect it had on people.

Rob carried these experiences with him and it shouts out in his mixing. Having played at many of the Young DJ Academy events in the past as well as most recently performing in meeting house square in Dublin’s Temple Bar as part of the big bang festival. Rob has played at electric picnic and a host of other venues in Dublin and at just 20 years old thats a pretty good cv for any dj.

Technically, DJ Rasrob is working with turntables, cdj’s and serato scratch. This mix was laid down using Pioneer CDJ’s and a Pioneer DJM 600 and features the choicest track selections from his extensive record collection.
