  Speaker 1: Hey, we're having a lot of fun on Arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: You know the music, you know the artists, but can
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: you name them before we tell you what they are?
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: It's called Music's Lost History, Song Edition and Artist Edition,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and it's found only on Arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net. Enjoy your exploration.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Missed opportunity. I love sharing conversations because hosting them requires
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: prep and I love prep. My podcasting platforms feature thousands
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: of guests and what you don't have access to are
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: my missed opportunities. That's when the show prep was 100% completed,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: but the conversation didn't happen. Missed Opportunity is a lost
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: piece of history. It's like a message in a bottle
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: that's been tossed out to sea. It's time to locate
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the destination. This week, we're putting focus on my missed
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: opportunity with rapper Junior Choi. Okay, this week it's Junior Choi.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: J-N-R space C-H-O-I. Junior Choi. A British model DJ whose
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: focus has been to get his music mixes bumping on
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the dance floor around the world. Now, it was in
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: March of 2026 that DJ Choi dropped the single Pick Up.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: It was considered to be a bold new chapter with
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: an F-mix dance record. I mean, I love the PR
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: sales line behind this. Built for movement, but grounded in emotion.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I like that kind of stuff. It gets people to talk.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: That's the kind of stuff you can put on your
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: merch shelf. Sell it and then find yourself in other
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: cities before you even get there. Now, before the beats
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: came to life in the studio, Junior Choi was turning
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: heads on the international runway. The initial first step inside
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the world of dancing arrived in 2018 with the sultry
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: release of the tune Moves. The fame heightened three years
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: later with a valuable remix of Bruno Mars' song Talking
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to the Moon. It reached platinum certification and went to
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: number one on the Spotify list. Now, how best to
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: describe the music of DJ Junior Choi? Afro House, a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: melodic rap immersed into a cinematic performance. Now, the invitation
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: to share a conversation with Junior Choi was sent to
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: me on March 6, 2026. The moment was quickly approved
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and the exact time would be sooner than later because
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: he was currently on tour in Paris. Now, because of
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: that distance and lack of quality internet power, the decision
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: was to try to move it to the smartphone, which
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: then changed the date, April 15th, 2026. The day arrived
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and it became a missed opportunity. Junior Choi. Coming up next,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the questions and the statements on missed opportunity. Hey, welcome
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: back to missed opportunity. These are the questions and the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: statements for DJ Junior Choi. It was a missed opportunity
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: earlier in 2026. Now the questions. You removed yourself from
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the algorithm world to study music in a real place.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: What have you found for the rest of us to
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: learn from? Let's talk about that song, Pick Up. I
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: love the light and fresh open on this song. Then
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you slide right into those beats. It's almost like you
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: knew exactly that we were ready to go when it
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: comes to dancing on that floor. Is there a push
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: to get you into house DJs and their presentation? I mean,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: everybody is craving for new music right now. Are you
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: going to try to get your beats onto their dance floor?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Creating with Sam Tari. How did you guys even break
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: down those beats? Because you guys do some very creative stuff.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I almost feel like I'm reading someone's journal when I'm
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: listening to your beats. It's a confession. Now, I've used
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: these words before. Tell me to come and I'll be
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: right there. Now, what did you feel while you were
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: putting that together? The video, is it a sunrise or
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: a sunset? You got my attention on this one. Even
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: with a second chance, the main character in this song
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: is still struggling. How do you want listeners to really
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: interpret that? The focus of the story, you capture what
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I want to hear When we've entered the late night,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: and that's not always a great place for some people,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: but we have your beats to check into. When the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: industry tries to define you, how do you crack that
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: mold while still being you? Love what people are saying
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: about the song. It's a bold evolution with music that
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: is house-driven. See, this is the kind of stuff that
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: is missing on our modern-day dancefloors. And you're taking a
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: chance on your gift of performance. After you have prepped
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: everything for a tour, when it comes to being invited
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to a festival, how does that stage change? And does
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: it affect you? And there you have it. Another missed opportunity.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: A lost piece of history. You now know the questions
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and the statements. So let's locate the reactions. I mean,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the door is always going to be open. If you
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: are DJ Junior Choi, reach out to me at arrowc
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: at gmail.com. That's A-R-R-O-E-C at gmail.com. And as always, be brilliant.
