In this episode, John Acquaviva (co-founder of +8, Definitive Records, Beatport, and an early force behind Final Scratch/Traktor) sits down with Seth and Bill to talk about building scenes, mentoring the next generation, being an artist in the age of peak spectacle, and how to survive the business side of DJ life without selling your soul.\nAcquaviva takes us from disco-era marathons in Toronto and Detroit to the tech shifts that changed DJing forever, plus candid thoughts on community, humility, and why “samples sampling samples” can drain the soul out of music.
