This chapter introduces the phenomenon of the Filipino American mobile disc jockey crews in the Bay Area. It begins with a discussion of the importance of DJs to community formations before moving on to an examination of DJing as a collective activity itself. It also discusses the relevance—or lack thereof—of Filipino American identity to members within the scene, a topic that will be revisited later in the book. It ends with a discussion of the study’s methodology, as well as an explanation of the book’s title.

Filipino American, disc jockeys, mobile music, popular music, youth culture
