The Art of DJing: Octo Octa - Reintroducing vinyl records creatively

[@namaste303]

Her and Eris are the most entertaining DJ’s in the scene hands down. Their energy together is unparalleled and the fact they still play so many sets with vinyl in our digital world is something to be noted. I love them both. ❤

Octo Octa is one of my all time fav DJs - the level of digging for records is just incredible, and the mixing is always incredible

[@thegetupkid69]

Me too, absolutely incredible!! She really knows how to create euphoria

just saw her play in San Francisco and was blown away by the level of playfulness and skill in her mixing. the tune selection was 10/10 but the weaving of genres, drum breaks, acapellas was beautiful

Now that is why vinyl should be a starter when it comes to DJing. Skills, Technique, cueing etc.

Seen her play couple times now (first in Tokyo at this giant concrete slab of a basement venue). Every time she is absolutely amazing. Such raw DJing talent and it always shows.

Met Octo Octa couple years ago at LACMA. Such a humble person and a great dj.

[@quartzparchmentshears8368]

I love Octa Octa's style of vinyl mixing - very creative. And yeah, the hiccups here and there are part of the human element; the charm.

[@jadamwoodford]

imperfections remind us that are you really doing it. You know! Thank you beautiful xoxo

[@Audunforgard]

Lively mixing, good energy

[@kvedia15]

absolute legend, her and Eris Drew are masters of vinyl mixing.

[@conorfrancis6614]

Met her while digging records Discos Paradisos in Barcelona the day before she played at Brunch Elektronic Festival. Super humble and cool!

[@devvvvvvvvvvvv]

The clapping was so funny. I would have been writhing hahaha.

[@blackrainbow6126]

She's sick AF. Totally enjoyed listening to this.

[@gabrieldominguez4161]

Damn she got dj skills that’s a real dj

[@binnazoayvz2705]

I need these two records! 😭😭

[@jimmysburgers1809]

Upload the whole thing!!

[@paulberesniewicz2564]

This was standard djing up till about 2001 or 2.. you didn't THINK of touching a stage until this was second nature... and she got pretty sloppy, ( which she acknowledges)... just another example of how technology is making us shitty. but... not hating, love this and her! bring it back...

[@meic2387]

Was about to comment the same.. these are the norms back in the days before CDJs. Not hating, loving her skills techniques energy and passion. And thanks for sticking with vinyl Octa. We need to bring vinyl-only back so those sync and fake DJs can be abolished and never come back because they’ll never make it on the vinyls!
