Jamie Renton is given the opportunity to DJ at a local bar called Darbucka. With no prior DJ experience, he nervously agrees. At his first lesson, the resident DJ Karim shows Jamie the basics of fading between songs and mixing beats. For his debut, Jamie struggles at first but eventually finds his rhythm. The party crowd enjoys Jamie's global music selection as well as more familiar hits. Karim advises Jamie to play what he loves rather than just pleasing the crowd. Jamie interviews several expert DJs for tips, including Dave Hucker, a pioneer of world music DJing, and Eric Soul, who blends global beats for clubs.
