Vinyl Destination | Ep. 17: Globetrotting From Capetown To Canada With DJ Jazzy Jeff (Video)
August 23, 2013
For Episode 17, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Skillz finish strong in South Africa. Capetown… promo, press, radio, demo show at a school… all to work up interest and ensure high attendance for the party. And what a party!
‘Our job is, pretty much, is to go around the world and make people have a good time.’
And after a job well done in South Africa, the fellas hop that ocean to get a week’s rest… then back at it! Cross country, east to west coast, Canadian tour… but in a NICE tour bus. More ‘chill time’ on this tour, but even down time on the bus is time for Jeff to work on beats in his rolling suite! Everybody can’t do this, but thanks to Vinyl Destination, everybody can ride along.

Vinyl Destination | Ep. 15: From Europe To South Africa With The Magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff (Video)
July 24, 2013
In episode 15 of Vinyl Destination, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Skillz take us through Switzerland and London … then off to Cape Town (South Africa). Starting with spider bites on the lip? Breakfast for 97 bucks? Damn… and damn! And according to Jeff, this trip still wasn’t as scary as his other South African show with Will Smith back in the day. At least nothing crawled up his leg during these sets. Break beats, break dancers, watching record-breaking super-sonic skydiving (like we did on here), building with DJ Premier.

Vinyl Destination | Ep. 14: Off To Madrid With The Magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff (Video)
July 12, 2013
In episode 14 of Vinyl Destination, DJ Jazzy Jeff takes us to Madrid to kick off a European tour. And Skillz has a confession:
‘I got vinyl. I have plenty of vinyl… I literally remember going to Food Lion stealing milk crates… so I could put my records in them. Yeah, I did that!’
Okay, so it was wrong. But Skillz really wanted to be a deejay back in the day. Now, the dinner conversation was fun… but Jeff rocking the show later? C’mon! Off the meter! And the vid isn’t even half over by that point. Another great trip for Vinyl Destination.

“While in Seattle to judge the Red Bull Thre3style Regional Finals, the magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff sat down with DJ Hyphen and J. Moore from KUBE 93.3 FM’s Sunday Night Sound Session on 2/25/13. The trio discussed all things related to DJ’ing, from Jeff’s background to how he became one of the most in-demand DJ’s in the world, including his philosophy on a DJ’s responsibility, the rise of DJ’s in popular music (while it seems to wither within hip-hop), and whether or not “real DJ’s” should take requests. He also told stories about the early days of his work with Will Smith, transitioning from rocking parties in Philly with the Fresh Prince to selling millions of albums and touring worldwide.” – KUBE Sound Session
