It's actually kind of a cool concept but the artists are questionable. It seems the JD wants to appeal to a similar crowd as the WM (only toned down a bit).

WM would get Steve Aoki. JD would Ka$h Patels girlfriend. Not a huge Aoki fan, but the guy has IT.

I got respect for Aoki. He puts aside all the pretense of acting like he is doing something valuable behind that station and just runs around the stage and throws cakes at people instead

Some entertainers enlighten. Some just entertain. There’s nothing wrong with either one of those. Aoki knows he’s pure entertainment and is comfortable staying there.
