Can't believe you made a response to my response! Feels like a delayed FaceTime ha ha. Also feels like we need to do a podcast about this, I have a lot of answers, for instance about the making and playing your own tracks part. Thank you for not giving me the SHAQ treatment LOL. Soup In A Bowl sounds HOT. Thank you for sharing your passion in DJing, it's much appreciatedI shall be hitting you in the DMs sir!

cody’s impostor syndrome with the dj community is so funny to me

that college pic of cody is always going to be so funny

This is proof that not everything on youtube is drama, controversy, or otherwise. Good back and forth between creators/artists

I enjoyed Laid Back Luke’s way of going about the video. It wasn’t just dog piling on a newbie, but instead giving some history, context, and solid advice. Solid work from both of y’all!

I really like the introspective videos from Cody, shows how much thought and effort he actually puts into videos and his creative process

I know the soup thing was a joke, but I legit went to a soup dance party once. It was held illegally in an abandoned warehouse and there was just a guy serving free soup out of a huge fucking cauldron to anyone who wanted some. Granted, it was served in cups and not bowls, but eating lentil soup at a warehouse rave definitely felt strange and illegal on more than one level. It was great soup though. Also it was advertised as a soup rave and planned in advance, which is why I trusted the soup.

Cody’s strength is his authenticity. That’s why we all root for him.

Cody genuinely acting like an overstimulated child around 7:40 is so wholesome. Lmao

I love this. There's nothing better than watching someone's dream come true. Hearing someone you looked up to gas you up. Cody's such a good guy, I'm glad this is happening for him. 😊

12:14 "i guess i could've watched it privately but I wanted to watch it... with you...." this parasocial relationship goes HARD 🔥

cody you truly deserve every bit of success that you have. such a force from day one and I’m so happy to see you shine and see you happy

It's so cool to watch Cody nervous and excited to hear these tips and reactions from someone he respects. He genuinely ascended when Luke complimented his work.

Cody’s genuine child-like excitement when he says he likes his music makes me so happy

Cody has grown so much as a creator and a person. I think we all should be like him

I will always respect a person that admits when they were wrong.

The way Cody looks like a sponge when Luke speaks, just absorbing all that juicy information makes me so happy

Not going to lie, I was ready for this to be some kind of mean douche or gatekeeping that we could laugh at the cringe of, but this was just unbelievably wholesome and great. Luke came across so well and your own capacity to take criticism and self reflect are admirable. So very heartwarming and over the moon for you!

I'm sure he'll love the fact that he used to be one of you're favorite dj's

this is why i love cody because any negative feedback or any constructive criticism he gets he learns from it and isn’t rude abt it. only if it’s justifiable yk

Awww so proud of ya bud! We all know how passionate you are about DJing and to see your face light up when he’s giving you all the positive feedback?! It’s awesome 😎

this is so dope man seeing an idol of yours acknowledge your work is such a profound moment

I love that when Cody gets memorized by the video and forgets about his posture and half his face goes out of frame I've never related to body language more

This video feels like something out of a fever dream. I’ve been watching Luke and Cody for years, never did I imagine they’d ever interact

I know you were talking about how you feel like you don't have to work as hard for getting gigs to DJ at but just remember you're only in that position because of all the hard work you've put into your overall internet presence and career. You've been putting in the work for years man

Humility is key. The fact that you're open to learn is the most promising part to showing your potential.

All this talk of getting gigs throws me back to my highschool days of starting an 80s glam band and learning about 6 hours worth of material with my band while also trying to write originals. From starting with open mic nights and completely eating shit to getting interviews on local radio stations and opening for big bands at local arenas and stuff. I definetly miss it.

As someone just starting to dabble with mixing, I love that you watched this with us. I actually learned a lot from both of you.

cody HANGING ON to every word Luke says is so precious

Cody gets my respect for throwing everything at anything he puts his mind to. He’s gonna be a great Dad, congrats on your baby news dude! 🍼

Laidback Luke giving you compliments is absolutely insane. Its so fun to see Cody get excited over it. I couldnt imagine getting compliments from him, must be like a dream.

I mean, I jumped from my chair too when he said "you have to make some vocals for me", that's the level of engagement Cody has on all of us, we all cheer for him

7:26 the pure unbridled joy and excitement from this is so sweet 😭😭

As someone who DJ'd in downtown Chicago for many years, people told me I couldn't do it, people told me I was great at it, people told me I sucked. You can do whatever you want and be successful at it. Just go do what you want.

Cody, SO MUCH RESPECT for you and your honest introspection on this. You're one of the most genuine KZfaqrs out there, and it's clear you don't skimp out on any sort of practice and hard work when it comes to pursuing different routes of your career and hobbies. All the kudos man!!!!

I do have to say that after all the years I’ve been watching you, you seem to just genuinely enjoy music and sharing it with people which is at the core what being a DJ should be right???

so proud of you and kels! Me and my fiance are also expecting a boy in january, we have been watching you our whole relationship and bond over watching you guys for 3+ years. once again so proud of how far you guys came! -kara and marquis

7:11 this is the greatest part of the video, maybe even Cody’s career

“Classical DJ-ing” isn’t a phrase I ever expected to hear in my life

I could listen to cody talk about stuff hes passionate about for HOURS. I get so wrapped up in his comedy that I often forget how incredibly talented and knowledgeable he is about the entertainment industry

he really had so many opportunities to laugh at you and he was so polite every time

Cody is low key so excited to showcase anything DJ related 🥺

it makes sense that cody is good at this, we've seen his ability to match people's energy in countless collabs over the years and his ability to put people at ease is second to none

cody fangirling and being so excited at the support about his song is the cutest thing🥹

I teared up watching this but I attribute that to the brain damage caused by my heavy drug use at EDM shows in 2011-2014.

this guy was so sweet! you know someone knows what they're talking about when they don't belittle someone

You can tell Cody is actually tryin to learn , this is such a wholesome video

This pure happiness of Cody from someone actually liking his song proves how serious and pationate he is about that.

Love how humble Cody is to be able to make this videos and critique himself with such a large platform 🔥

7:26 that was wholesome 😂 the way cody got excited and proud of himself at the same time 😂 and the Prof. DJ was so nice and great.

Watching Cody’s dreams come true makes me so happy I love seeing people have pure joy and see their work

“I’m sow-ry Shaq, I’m sow-ry!” You know Cody is really apologetic when his Canadian comes out.

You manage to post on my 15min break every time and I appreciate it.

this is actually one of the coolest videos I've ever seen on your channel. It's amazing to hear a vet talk about what he actually does. I've been to a bunch of shows, raves, festivals in the US but after going to techno shows in Germany for the first time it's like a new door has opened. You can tell the DJs are performing off the dome in the venue and it's absolute insanity the work they put into mixing everything. Lot's of DJs mixing analogue too which was so dope I wanted to cry lol. Would love to see more videos like this!

So happy for Cody, being recognized by another artist you look up to is an extremely validating experience.

if lin manuel miranda and cody had a kid it would look exactly like laid-back luke

THANK YOU for this video man. I’m legit trying to learn how to DJ at home and have been down on my hopes of late with trying to figure out a routine with teaching myself how to DJ. This video just hit me with a massive spark of inspiration and I can’t wait to get started again.

there’s not much genuinely humble people these days, u deserve everything u have and u deserve to be where you’re at!

as a music nerd myself, I love your DJ content and seeing you grow as one!! any DJ video you post about your journey, I’m gonna watch

Cody just genuinely listening and taking the advice to heart serious, genuine interest and passion is so sweet. I love it so much

smiling ear to ear seeing Cody get the recognition he deserves!

You know it’s a good day when Cody posts 😊❤

this is actually one of the most wholesome videos I’ve ever seen lmao I’ve been watching Cody for a hot minute now and it’s so dope to see how far he’s come :’)

Cody ur fr an inspiration watching you grow in every single video and in every year is so refreshing

Cody's DJ video actually got me to start learning how to DJ. Mad respect

Watching Cody geek the fk out about Luke wanting to collab is cute and wholesome

Love how hyped you get in this😭Keep up the good work, bumpin “til I die” ti I die

Watching this made me so happy, Cody seems genuinely stoked about having an idol of his like his work and rightfully so! Keep up the awesome work!! :)

the shaq apology was necessary and is appreciated. thank you cody, diesel forever

This will sound corny AF, but I was pumped for Cody throughout this video... the experience of having someone you admire taking such an interest in what you do must be surreal. Probably like an athlete becoming teammates with someone he/she watched as a kid (a la Jamie Tartt and Roy Kent on Ted Lasso)

I’m glad you watched this with us bc as a producer and beginner Dj, this was pure gold. Genuine advice from two perspectives

Shaq even literally has a song with Biggie thats pretty famous called " You cant stop the reign" a remix on an older R&B beat.

I’m so proud of you king. Such an inspiration to me and to everyone in and outside of your fanbase. Peace and love dawg 🤘

The original video finally pushed me to buying my first controller. So happy I did. It’s so fun and I’ve learned so much.

Would love to see a longer-form video where these two work together, create some music, and possibly perform together!! Must watch material. Luke seems so genuine

Proud of You! Its Siiiick seeing you so excited!! Your Engery is giving me Energy and now i want to be a DJ!

Is it just me or Luke kinda looks like Cody and Noel as one human

Honestly I admire Cody so much for just sending it and trying to do his best

This is actually the most fkn helpful video for someone doing a DJ competition right now I'm stoked

cody seems genuinely happy in this video. he’s come a long way and ive loved watching him come so far🫶🏼

It’s been great to watch your career unfold growing up. This new path is a fun one, enjoy it to the fullest while you’re building this new course :)

The current stream of music production, and how rapid it occurs, plays a role in the feeling that you need your own productions; and even the experience of feeling like you’ve listened to all the music there is to hear. The last decade of music has resulted in a worlds worth of music but it has secluded out of the music of the past. I think that’s what was being said about the deepest foundations of being a DJ: you have worlds worth of music at your hands, you need to find the originality within it for each group you find.

cody you’re good!!! i listen to your songs at the gym and it hypes me up

These videos are so interesting to me. Especially an artist/DJ/creator of any kind letting us pick at their brain. Thank you for this video it was very appreciated especially as an up and coming DJ.

Congratulations on expecting a baby boy in January!! I’m so happy for you two! Babies are honestly the key to happiness! I promise!! ❤

What an amazingly wholesome video. Great way to give feedback, great way to receive feedback. Cody has been on a great roll for a long time now, consistent.

Wow, this is crazy and cool. I just saw the original video last night right before I was about to work on a DJ set. Pretty inspiring! And now watching this actual DJ feedback is amazing. Never having heard of any of the people involved before, I'm gonna subscribe to this channel now.

cody i look up to you so much. you’re so genuine and amazing!!!!! LOVE YOU ALWAYS

I don't think it's cheating to be able to make a gig happen with one phone call. I walked into my first residency on no performance experience and smashed out a 5hr video DJ set to 200 people on a Sunday in a rum bar. People just figured I could do it, based on experience and reputation. Background in making your own tracks, videos and being able to do anything you set your mind to, means people have faith in you.

I'm squealing at the excitement for you. To be recognized by an OG 🙌🏼 also Shaq - love him - but we saw him for the second time at forest this year and boi didn't know how to put DOWN the mic. Def killed a lot of people's vibe, but the memes are endless now. LADIES ONLY MOSHPITTT

this is so so wholesome. i love seeing cody feel so validated and excited about something ◡̈

Cody I’ve been personally loving your recent focus on music and DJing. I resonate a lot with what you said 3:32 as I recently dropped out of uni to pursue a music career. I’ve been producing for 7 years now and DJing for 3. Something really important I’m starting to understand (from peers and industry musicians) is that it really all boils down to the music. That being for production or mixing, try and make the best quality of work you can, for yourself. Never believe it’s a competition, you’re doing it for the love of it being the best it can be. And we are lucky enough to share that enjoyment with other people. Fortunately for our generation it’s never been so easy to network with people, and artists for the most part are mindful and aware of other talent. I guess this speaks volumes to me personally as it’s a huge part of my life atm that I’m figuring out. Rick Rubin talks a lot about some important aspects of a music career that artists can often overlook. I’d definitely recommend giving any of his podcast interviews a watch. I’ve never felt so empowered and free to pursue a music career as a 22 year old. and I really hope that message resonates with other young aspiring artists :)

Cody thanks for including us in your dj journey, it’s cool to see

we love you Cody!!! this is amazing! congrats to you and Kelsey as well!

i love how earnest, genuine, and informative LL is throughout this. In addition to being cool about it, he also gave real deal tips!

It’s been quite a journey watching Cody Ko go from doing his first DJ gig to actually getting better with practice and taking it seriously. His authenticity throughout is really nice!

As a budding DJ whos grinding and can’t book gigs I loved your video and love you joining in the fun. I was laughing and smiling the whole time !!

Cody is the only "celeb" that will forever remain human, humble and relatable.

Seeing Cody’s genuine reaction to being complimented is so awesome

Glad you made this video.....as club dj myself the original video had a bunch of things that annoyed me, but you & LL addressed them here. Keep up the good work 👍
