DaOddCouple

Yesterday’s performance at @brooklynbowl reminded me what true creativity means for a DJ. It’s about putting in the effort and earning your spot on stage alongside the likes of the Pharcyde. Whether there’s an age gap or cultural difference between the crowd witnessing what we do behind these turntables and us, the 10,000 hours of practice and reinvention we’ve dedicated to our craft won’t let us fall for the “hot takes” of these new Fratboy DJs. We refuse to buy into the idea that audiences “don’t want to hear scratching” anymore, because @thexecutioners ’ philosophy is that the way you play music should be rooted in authenticity and personal expression, creating a lasting, resonant connection that going viral hardly ever achieves. Huge thanks to the Pharcyde for having us out! It’s truly an honor to open for a group that inspires us so much. To @brooklynbowl , thank you for the opportunity to step onto your stage. We had a blast. Special thanks to our crew - agent @focusednoise for creating this incredible opportunity for @daoddcouple , road manager @djmozdef , stage manager @djmarks09 , and videographer @helin.alicia . Last night wouldn’t have been the success it was without your support. Much love to @doctor_polygon , @bigfer357 , @brooks____b , @hwmk , @afrofugees , @elena_lovable , and everyone else who attended last night’s show. We appreciate your ongoing support for real DJing! Peace!

We're performing at @brooklynbowl as the opening act for The Pharcyde on Wednesday, May 6! We'll go on stage at 8:30 p.m. sharp, so arrive early.

Pulled up to D.C. on purpose. To support. To connect. To be in rooms where the energy is right. Showing love to my brother @djdubdotcom at his first Flavor Summit… @1200.flavors and the day before, catching The Odd Couple do what they do best. One of those “you had to be there” moments. Bucket list checked. Real connections. The kind you don’t take for granted. This is what it’s really about. #FlavorSummit #DCLife #DJCulture #Turntablism #DaOddCouple

Whenever you see @daoddcouple in your area, rest assured you’ll experience true Hip-Hop integrity, as our core DJ sound values are more about staying true than chasing mainstream fame. If we were in it for clicks, we’d be playing that corny 💩. We want to thank @trinityhiphop for inviting us to their 20th annual International Hip-Hop Festival—it was a dope experience!

What a day, D.C.! This afternoon’s intimate gathering at @songbyrddc felt like @sinista119 and me performing at an invitation-only concert at someone’s house. It was cool to feel like we were playing in front of friends. I want to give a special shout-out to DJ Dub from @theflavorsummit for curating today’s event.

Da Odd Couple will perform at the 20th International Hip Hop Festival DJ Showcase on Friday, April 10th, at Litebox Studios (1429 Park Street, Hartford, CT)!
