DJ Mile High & Yodes | Bedroom Sessions VII
Chicago's DJ Mile High and Iowa City's Yodes join forces for DJcityTV's first 2x4 Bedroom Sessions episode. Both DJs were trained by Big Once, Toadstyle and Boi Jeanius, and are members of Scratch Academy Chicago's inaugural graduating class.
In addition to clean turntablist skills, Mile High and Yodes showcase creative selection that includes both classic and new club tracks.
DJcity recognizes there's a ton of dope DJs from around the world who deserve more shine. To showcase their talent, we created a series called Bedroom Sessions that features folks throwing down sets in their homes. The mixes are open format without special effects, fancy club decoration and other fluff.
