Wide Awake Stories #025 ft. Craze & Z-Trip

In today’s festival market, you’d be hard-pressed to find a DJ on any lineup that isn’t a producer. In fact, chances are they’re better known for their discography than their DJ skills. But how do you measure “skills” in 2019? Has the democratization of DJing brought about the end of an art form that provided a cornerstone of dance music? Craze and Z-Trip come through Insomniac HQ to weigh in on the state of the DJ in 2019, while DJ Graham Funke sits in as our guest host. What does it mean to be “open format,” what happened to improvisation, and most importantly, where are all the G.O.A.T.s? We let you know. Got a story you want to share?
