When, as a child in a no-name town, Steve Canueto heard a crackly broadcast of a scratch DJ from London on the radio, he knew there and then he had to get to the big city and be part of the music he'd just discovered. His journey took him far and wide as a DJ, and his passion and drive eventually led to him making a series of CDs that sold millions. But that was only half of the story. In this, the first Tales From The Dancefloor, Steve reveals what drove him into a life in...

Episode 14: All About Sound Quality
Episode 14 – Do You Hear What I Hear? Back in episode 13, I answered a call from Joseph regarding sound quality. He asked when it’s worth it to invest in high-end audio gear (like sound cards, mixers, etc.) But the question I actually answered had to do with production sound (speakers, amps, etc.) Duh.

In this episode, we dive into: - NAMM 2015 gear & a new Frankie Knuckles f...
