We open the show, then get into the controversy around Boiler Room's ownership and why it's got people talking. Somewhere along the way, a set of production guidelines leaked, not from Boiler Room itself, meant to help people produce their own Boiler Room style event. We break down what's actually in there. Front of house and DJ booth setups, lighting the DJ and the artist, lighting the crowd, and ambient and architectural lighting. Some of it's smart, some of it we'd argue with.

We close with what you can actually take from this and use in your own business, including the case for charging what you're worth instead of undercutting yourself to book the gig.
