I’m becoming quite the fan of the Boiler Room Sessions. Not just for the music, but for seeing top of the food chain DJs do their thing from multiple angles, and of course watching terribly cool people not dance, and others completely lose it and pissing off the DJ in the process. This particular set to Teeko very nicely shows the broad spectrum of gear and technique that we at DJWORX like to talk about.
It’s a proper mashup of gear from keyboards to controllers to the ultra rare Vestax Controller One. Aside from a lot of button action, there’s just enough turntablism to not become overwhelming. It’s quite the masterclass in technology meeting technique. I also love Teeko’s interaction with the crowd, something that the Boiler Room Sessions can do well.
And because I know you’ll ask, the full track listing is on Teeko’s site.
Do you like the Boiler Room Sessions?
They can be hit and miss, with poor audio and video recordings, truly awful crowds, and frankly some less than interesting sets. But what are your high and low points from the Boiler Room Sessions?
I love Kon’s boiler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqX2i6EwQfM
This is way better then the mangled buttombashing “trash” from the the top.
Sorry folks but Teeko’s preformance has absolutely no appeal to me.
Aesthetically horrid, much like any DMC entry from the last ten years or so. Is this music? Or an extreme sport?
100% agree.
those people are funny, stop trying so hard and just enjoy it. by the way Mark, check out Masters at Works 3 hour set, its on mix cloud at the minute, they still run the show
I’ve enjoyed watching a few session. One of Frankie Knuckles being my favourite.
Have been increasing looking at them and discovering DJ’s in personally never heard of playing a genre/style I like.
I must get one of Vestax Turntables! Which one is he using?
That set is pretty dope, but if the Boiler Room was a competition, DJ EZ would totally be winning…

nothing special going on there, simple dance tunes mixeded together
cool performance. it’s interesting that it can all be done without headphones.
not saying that as a negative…..just recognizing that it probably takes a good amount of preparation, track knowledge, and improvisational skills to make it look and sound that good without a cue/pre-listen
IRT to the question, I def enjoy boiler room sets. good opportunity to hear some new tracks as well as laugh at the crowd.
DJ Scotch Egg’s Boiler Room changed my life
Enjoyed that! That lead synth soloing on the turntable was awesome :) rsp
I really like Eddie Fowlkes recent 3 hour set from a record shop in Berlin. He is an old techno hero but plays a very nice house set. (There is an absolutely filthy – yet still good – track between 1hr 30 & 1hr 40. Be very careful if listening with polite company. You have been warned. I wish I was.
dope! Thanx
Nightmares on wax is a highlight, just for watching the doped out people in the background….!
