Welcome to The Grow My DJ Business Podcast, a podcast for DJs by DJs. Hosted by Get Down DJ Group founders, Cream & GaryW, they use their 20+ years experience in nightlife to help DJs grow their brands and businesses. When people think of nightlife DJs, they often assume we just show up and play records. Those days are long gone. The guys dig deep and discuss how DJs should think about and approach their businesses to help them grow, book more gigs and turn their passion for Djing into an actual, profitable business.

Don't Give Up

Putting the YOU into unity: Re.You’s Younion returns for the first excursion of 2022 with longstanding friends Eins Tiefer. 
Mainstays on the collective stable since its inaugural 001 VA way back in 2016, the duo have played a role and had a presence on almost every Younion release so far. ‘Sunscreen’, however, is by far their biggest dispatch for the label to date. 
Three fantastical originals and one remix from the label founder, each cut takes us far away from reality, capturing our emotions and imaginations with every startling dynamic. ‘Sunscreen’ takes the lead with cosmic broken beats, sweeping spacey textures and a cult spoken word vocal that’s loaded with so many lines of wisdom it’s almost overwhelming (especially if you’re old enough to remember it the first time around) It’s backed up by a beautiful remix from Re.You himself. Rolling, organic and widescreen – it sets the scene for the two crucial club instrumentals that follow.
‘Care’ is a walloping slab of dancefloor drama that’s strung out with brilliant tension but ballasted by powerful percussive stomp. An epic Q followed by a commanding A; it’s the type of tune you roll your sleeves up to play. And you best keep them rolled up for the finale, too. 
The last piece in this provocative and emotionally rich puzzle, ‘Calculating’ is Eins Tiefer at their darkest and most pensive. A timeless moment of prowling techno, unhurried and full of suspense, there’s a great sense of mystery running throughout… And never giving itself away. 
What a way to start a new year. Eins Tiefer and Re.You have delivered something special. But remember; none of this works without YOU.
