DJ Mode and DJ Rob Dinero — the official DJs of the US Open— sit down with Hot 97's Mornings With Mero to talk about what it takes to rock a crowd at one of the biggest sporting events in the world. From flipping international tracks for a global audience to timing the perfect drop in a 60-second changeover, these two break down the art of DJing at live sports events. They share hilarious stories (including a white grandma going crazy to Meek Mill's "Dreams and Nightmares" at the US Open 🔥), discuss the difference between DJing tennis, hockey, basketball, and soccer, and trace their career paths from basement high school parties to Madison Square Garden and beyond.
