Pioneer DJ Network Nov-Dec Winner: Brooke Johnston

Brooke_Jonhston_Pioneer_DJ_Network

Congratulations on winning the amazing Pioneer DJ kit! Must make being in Saint Barths even better. Tell us about island life!

Saint Barths is a Caribbean island notorious for being a playground for the rich and famous. I had been here on vacation before and knew there were big parties with great house music so I relocated because I figured there would be opportunities to work as a DJ. Also, the fact that it’s sunny and 85 degrees every day with breathtaking beaches made the decision to pack up and move an easy one!

How is the local competition for being the island party starter?

There are a dozen or so very talented DJs who live full time on the island and only a handful of nightclubs so the competition can be stiff. But so far I’ve been pretty lucky… I ended up getting a full time residency with Nikki Beach and have played at many cool parties including one hosted by Diddy.

You suggested that you’ll use the CDJ-350s as a mobile unit. Sounds like a great plan!

As I mentioned before I REALLY needed the new equipment. When I moved here I brought my vinyl turntables with me. Each one weighed 50 lbs with the case (nearly half my body weight) so it was a nightmare to carry them around the airport and to the ferry to get to St. Barths. And if I play at a private party for a yacht or villa I dread the thought of transporting them. So I am absolutely thrilled to be getting the cdj-350s which are so light and portable. It will make my life so much easier. Thank you Pioneer, Let’s Mix and to everyone who voted!

Promise us you’ll celebrate with a proper house party!

I definitely think a house party to celebrate is in order… but since this is St. Barths maybe we should do it on a yacht?

The iPhone app makes this a breeze, as Major Lazer’s anthematic ragga-house comes preconfigured in tempo with a slew of great tunes, like Douster, Johan-Hugo, Savage Skulls and a bunch more artists which will have sunshine beaming from your speakers! Add in the effects, and you have a full package

Download the free DJ Music Mixer by Malibu iPhone app right now! Essential not only if you like to party/enjoy sipping Malibu. If you have just a remote interest in how the concept and DJ:ing tech is changing, this is definitely worth a look. Go on, don’t be shy.
