content: A demonstration and discussion with DJ Phatrick and Oliver Wang about the history and craft of DJing, which involves the use of multiple turntables, faders, and other technology. DJ Phatrick co-founded the Oakland-based Bay Unity Music Project (BUMP) in Berkeley, California. Since moving to Los Angeles in 2008, he combines his love for music and education by running digital music programs that teach production, recording, and performance to youth in low-income neighborhoods through the Sessions LA program. Oliver Wang is an associate professor of sociology at CSU-Long Beach and the author of Legions of Boom: Filipino American Mobile DJ Crews of the San Francisco Bay Area. He has contributed on music and culture to NPR's "All Things Considered," KCET's "Artbound," the Los Angeles Review of Books, the New York Times Book Review, and Los Angeles Times. He also writes the audioblog, Soul-Sides.com, and is a co-host of the pop culture podcast, Pop Rocket.
