They kick things off with Melo-D gives flowers to @DJAngieVee’s “Yer Not Down,” and D-Styles celebrates the iconic “Low End Theory” party that helped launch artists like @FlyingLotus, @Tokimonsta, and @Daedelus (03:55). The crew also reflects on how today’s DJ competitions differ from the Beat Junkies era (18:45). Jaime introduces the Beat Junkies Institute of Sound as “the Avengers teaching you how to be superheroes,” while the fellas joke about bad DJ habits, online instruction, and even a ROAD discount code. D-Styles on “Phantasmagoria” (20:01) and Suneel sharing how he first met the Junkies (39:45). The junkies revisit how the pizza concept was born at Icon LA, tracing its roots to the legendary “Red Cup Sundays” (40:20). By (44:55), the fellas dive into how the idea took shape: three years of persistence, unexpected obstacles like finding an old gun in the concrete, and the vision of turning it into a retirement plan for DJs (1:01:01). They break down the musically inspired menu, the goal of franchising (1:13:10), and the hurdles of navigating city rules (26:01). The conversation then shifts to DJ culture: Suneel shares how he built the sound at Made From Skratch (1:18:45).
