Description

This week, we dive into the world of DJing and turntablism with the talented DJ Mizhap! After spending 10 years performing in Perth, Mizhap recently made the move to Melbourne, and we talk about everything from getting started on the decks to establishing herself in a new city, learning new skills, and connecting with the local music community.

Mizhap is a skilled artist who’s always looking to grow, and she shared her inspirations, both new and old, in the turntablist scene. While I’ve been around DJs before, turntablism is a whole different world, and Mizhap was generous in explaining some of the key techniques and terminology behind it. I learned a lot about the depth of this skillset and the artistry involved in this unique form of music-making.

We also discuss the differences between DJing in clubs versus other live settings where artistry and performance take center stage. This was such a fun chat, and I left feeling inspired to explore more about Mizhap’s work and the turntablism scene in general.
