Episode 345: DJ SPINNA "Stevie Wonders Favorite DJ"

On this week’s episode of the @RoadPodcast, the fellas welcome New York’s finest @DJSpinna and guest host @DJGoldfingerNYC. Spinna reflects on getting into the iconic Paradise Garage at just 16 (1:10), talks about the rise of NYC house clubs in the late 80s and early 90s (17:20), and reveals some of his legendary DJ equipment (45:10). He discusses being called the founder of theme parties with his ‘MJ vs Prince’ party (1:04:09), shares #Prince’s reaction to the event (1:11:50), and reflects on his top DJ memory—performing with #StevieWonder (1:19:10). The crew also talks about how new DJs often quick mix out of songs after a lack of immediate crowd reaction (1:47:05). Finally, Spinna looks back on his career and his growth as a DJ (1:56:02).
