-I'm Mark.

-And I'm Lauren.

-And this is The Dengineers.

0:00:020:00:04

The show that puts you in charge of building your very own dream den.

0:00:040:00:08

Dens for adventure...

0:00:090:00:11

Hello, trapdoor!

0:00:110:00:12

Hanging out with your friends and family...

0:00:120:00:15

This den is the best thing ever.

0:00:150:00:17

..and dens built to fulfil your dreams.

0:00:170:00:19

It's more than he could ever want.

0:00:190:00:21

-Oh, Mum!

-Aww!

0:00:210:00:22

Whatever your ideas, the Dengineers team are here

0:00:230:00:25

to transform your inspiration into amazing spaces.

0:00:250:00:28

Built especially for you.

0:00:280:00:31

-ALL:

-This den is done!

0:00:310:00:34

Hello! ALL CHEER

0:00:370:00:39

Yes, you, Lola.

0:00:390:00:41

Let's do it!

0:00:470:00:48

That is epic!

0:00:530:00:55

Really happy.

0:00:550:00:56

It's amazing!

0:00:560:00:57

On today's show we're going to be surprising a budding superstar DJ

0:01:030:01:07

by giving him his very own awesome den.

0:01:070:01:09

And we're going to be doing the surprise right here at his house.

0:01:090:01:13

Wikka-wikka, yeah! Make some noise!

0:01:130:01:15

That's exactly why you will never be a superstar DJ.

0:01:150:01:18

-Come on.

-What?!

0:01:180:01:19

Today's Dengineer is 11-year-old Joshua from Cardiff.

0:01:240:01:29

I need help from the Dengineers

0:01:290:01:31

because I'm really passionate about my music

0:01:310:01:34

and I really want to be a DJ one day.

0:01:340:01:36

This budding DJ loves to play his music...

0:01:370:01:40

and play it loud.

0:01:400:01:41

Joshua's family parties are really funky.

0:01:420:01:46

He plays for his audience,

0:01:460:01:47

and they're really cool and hip,

0:01:470:01:49

and we love him.

0:01:490:01:50

DJ Joshua is a hit with all the family,

0:01:500:01:53

but his biggest fan is his brother Owen.

0:01:530:01:56

Owen has Down's syndrome, which means he has a learning difficulty.

0:01:560:02:00

Joshua spends a lot of time with Owen.

0:02:000:02:03

Owen is like his shadow.

0:02:030:02:05

Whenever Joshua goes to his bedroom to play on his computer,

0:02:050:02:08

Owen follows.

0:02:080:02:09

Whenever Joshua starts DJing, Owen follows.

0:02:090:02:12

These brothers are mega close.

0:02:140:02:16

And even though they're in different classes school...

0:02:160:02:18

-ALL:

-Hello, sut wyt ti?

0:02:180:02:21

Owen, here, still manages to hang out with his big bro.

0:02:210:02:24

The class absolutely love Owen's visits.

0:02:240:02:28

Whenever he happens to be passing our room,

0:02:280:02:30

he'll pop in and have a little word with us.

0:02:300:02:33

Big dot.

0:02:330:02:35

One big dot.

0:02:350:02:37

I think they're really close

0:02:370:02:38

because they're always high-fiving each other...

0:02:380:02:41

and they're always hugging.

0:02:410:02:42

It's really nice.

0:02:420:02:43

I think Joshua deserves this den because we have to do things

0:02:430:02:47

slightly differently as a family,

0:02:470:02:49

and it would be great for him to have time alone in the den

0:02:490:02:52

to be able to practise for something

0:02:520:02:54

that he's dreamt of doing for a long time.

0:02:540:02:56

Please, Dengineers, I really need your help.

0:02:560:02:59

Don't you worry, Joshua,

0:03:010:03:02

our help is exactly what you're going to get.

0:03:020:03:05

You just don't know it yet!

0:03:050:03:07

Joshua's school day is nearly over,

0:03:070:03:10

which means we've got not a lot of time to get loads done,

0:03:100:03:13

to get this house ready for the big surprise.

0:03:130:03:15

We need to get our skates on,

0:03:170:03:18

rigging the house with our super secret cameras.

0:03:180:03:21

For this hit, we've brought our very own Dengineers Mobile disco

0:03:290:03:33

to add some DJ style to the surprise.

0:03:330:03:35

I've got the perfect tune, absolute floor filler.

0:03:370:03:41

-Go on.

-You ready for this?

-Yeah, yeah, go on.

0:03:410:03:43

# Never gonna give you up... #

0:03:430:03:45

Oh, dad tune!

0:03:450:03:47

Exactly!

0:03:470:03:49

And that is some dad dancing!

0:03:490:03:51

It's time for Mum to go and pick Joshua and Owen up from school,

0:03:540:03:58

which is just around the corner...

0:03:580:03:59

Which means we've only got a matter of minutes

0:04:000:04:03

to get all the family in position for the big surprise.

0:04:030:04:05

-That's it, curled round.

-Big family, I love it!

-Come in!

0:04:050:04:08

MUSIC: This Is What You Came For by Calvin Harris

0:04:080:04:10

Joshua and his bro have arrived home.

0:04:100:04:12

Time to get this party started.

0:04:140:04:16

ALL CHEER

0:04:200:04:22

-Yes!

-Wahey, how you doing?!

-Hello, Joshua, how are you?

0:04:250:04:29

-Good, thanks.

-Good!

0:04:290:04:31

My name is Lauren.

0:04:310:04:33

And I'm Mark, and we're from CBBC's The Dengineers.

0:04:330:04:37

-We've heard that you love to DJ, is that right?

-Yeah.

0:04:370:04:41

We've also heard that you need somewhere to practise your skills.

0:04:410:04:44

-Yeah.

-So what if we told you that you're going to come away with us

0:04:440:04:49

to build your very own dream den?

0:04:490:04:53

How does that sound?

0:04:530:04:54

-That's cool.

-Really cool, isn't it?!

0:04:540:04:57

I'm very excited about getting my den built

0:04:570:05:01

because it means I can have some space to practise on my own,

0:05:010:05:06

and it's very, very, very exciting.

0:05:060:05:08

I've got no idea what's going to happen, I'm very nervous.

0:05:080:05:11

And I say, "Bring it on!"

0:05:110:05:13

I'm looking forward to seeing what he designs, what he creates,

0:05:130:05:16

and having fun with it all.

0:05:160:05:19

We have got so much work to do to get this den finished,

0:05:190:05:21

and exactly how you want it to be -

0:05:210:05:23

but I think it's only right we play one more tune

0:05:230:05:26

-and have a little boogie before we go, shall we?

-Yeah.

0:05:260:05:29

-Amazing!

-Come on, family, let's do it!

-Come on, Gran, let's dance!

0:05:290:05:32

Here we go!

0:05:320:05:33

MUSIC: This Is What You Came For by Calvin Harris

0:05:330:05:36

Our first port of call is the Dengineers mobile HQ,

0:05:410:05:44

which has some mega-cool technology to get this den rolling.

0:05:440:05:47

Right, Josh - or should I call you DJ...?

0:05:490:05:50

-JJ Josh.

-JJ Josh!

-DJ JJ Josh, I like it.

0:05:500:05:53

-Love it.

-Tongue twister. Now, listen,

0:05:530:05:55

this is for you to have the power to show us exactly what you want

0:05:550:05:59

-in your den.

-These are your ideas,

0:05:590:06:01

so I want you to get in there on that mahoosive screen

0:06:010:06:04

and pick out the stuff you like.

0:06:040:06:06

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-So would you like your own, kind of, space,

0:06:060:06:10

like your own podium?

0:06:100:06:11

A bit like this.

0:06:110:06:13

-Yes!

-You want to be above the crowd.

-Yeah.

0:06:130:06:16

What do you think about lighting?

0:06:160:06:18

I'd rather be something like this.

0:06:180:06:21

-Perfect.

-Oh, nice. Like, lasers.

0:06:210:06:23

-Yeah.

-If you have lasers in your den, I'm coming around every night.

0:06:230:06:27

-You're not invited.

-Oh, come on!

0:06:270:06:29

Now, the first party is obviously going to involve...

0:06:290:06:32

-Family and friends.

-..family and friends.

0:06:320:06:34

What picture would you say you'd like to be on here?

0:06:340:06:37

Well, this is a picture of my family.

0:06:370:06:40

Oh! Look at you all!

0:06:400:06:42

Are you really close to your little brother?

0:06:420:06:44

-Yeah.

-And why are you two so close?

0:06:440:06:46

Well, because he's got Down's syndrome,

0:06:460:06:49

-if he wants something then I do it for him.

-Oh, that's good.

0:06:490:06:53

-So he'll be loving it in there, won't he?

-Yeah.

0:06:530:06:55

I like that picture.

0:06:550:06:57

-Nice.

-Because you like sound.

0:06:570:06:58

I mean, if you have that many speakers in there,

0:06:580:07:01

the whole street are going to hear you!

0:07:010:07:02

Joshua has decided on a DJ podium with loads of booming speakers

0:07:040:07:08

and laser lights to create an awesome atmosphere

0:07:080:07:10

to party with his pals.

0:07:100:07:12

So, where are we thinking of having the den?

0:07:120:07:15

Er, I'm thinking in the garage.

0:07:150:07:17

Ah, in the garage! That's cool

0:07:170:07:19

because we've had stuff in the garden,

0:07:190:07:21

we've done them in a bedroom...

0:07:210:07:23

A basement.

0:07:230:07:24

..a basement, but we've never had a garage.

0:07:240:07:26

-This is going to be good.

-You happy with this?

0:07:260:07:28

-Yep.

-Are you ready?

-Yep.

0:07:280:07:29

Let's get this den done, come on.

0:07:290:07:30

Joshua wants his DJ den in the garage,

0:07:320:07:34

but right now it's packed to the brim with Dad's stuff.

0:07:340:07:38

Time for a Dengineers clearout.

0:07:390:07:41

Aah!

0:07:460:07:47

Your dad's got so much stuff!

0:07:490:07:51

To get this place ready for a den,

0:07:520:07:54

we're going to need to call in some reinforcements.

0:07:540:07:57

I think we should get Mum and Dad in to help.

0:07:570:07:59

Mum! Dad! We need your help.

0:07:590:08:02

Come on!

0:08:020:08:03

How much junk have you got in this garage, Geoff?!

0:08:060:08:08

To be honest, he's taken my garage, taken all my space,

0:08:120:08:16

and he's going to turn it into something that...I've got no idea...

0:08:160:08:19

It's a little bit scary.

0:08:190:08:20

-Yes!

-One, two, three, four.

0:08:200:08:22

One, two, three, four.

0:08:220:08:24

The worst thing he could do would be putting some big hole in the roof!

0:08:240:08:28

That scares me a little bit. Hey, we'll wait and see.

0:08:280:08:32

After some stellar work from the Dengineers,

0:08:360:08:39

the garage is cleared and ready to be turned into DJ JJ Josh's den.

0:08:390:08:43

For Mum and Dad, this is the last time we'll see this space

0:08:450:08:48

until the big reveal in just four days' time.

0:08:480:08:51

Give it a wave, go on.

0:08:520:08:53

-Give it a showbiz wave.

-Bye, garage!

0:08:530:08:55

Ta-ra. And you guys...can sling your hook.

0:08:550:08:58

-Get gone. You're not allowed to be...

-Dengineers only.

0:08:580:09:00

Off you go, if you can pick your way through that.

0:09:000:09:03

-That's a lot of junk that, isn't it?

-See you in a bit.

0:09:030:09:05

Thanks for your garage.

0:09:050:09:07

The garage is ready.

0:09:070:09:09

Now all Joshua needs is a designer to make his dreams a reality.

0:09:090:09:13

Step forward Olga.

0:09:140:09:16

She's a specialist in creating mega-cool dens

0:09:160:09:19

and can make the smallest of spaces look totally awesome.

0:09:190:09:22

This girl's got all the skills to make this one a chart topper.

0:09:220:09:25

So, Olga, we have an empty garage

0:09:270:09:29

for you to start working your Dengineers magic in.

0:09:290:09:32

What have you got planned?

0:09:320:09:33

Right, so I've seen the images that you've chosen,

0:09:330:09:36

they gave me loads of amazing ideas.

0:09:360:09:37

But first I need to ask you a question.

0:09:370:09:39

Would you like a podium kind of thing?

0:09:390:09:41

-Yeah.

-So like you can see the crowd clapping and dancing?

0:09:410:09:43

So, we need it raised, basically.

0:09:430:09:45

I love that idea, but...

0:09:450:09:48

this space is not very high.

0:09:480:09:50

What can we do, Olga?

0:09:500:09:51

Let's do a hole in the ceiling.

0:09:510:09:53

-What?!

-Yeah, why not?

0:09:530:09:56

-You can't just cut a hole in the ceiling!

-Yes, you can.

0:09:560:09:58

What do you reckon about having the podium up there?

0:09:580:10:00

With a hole in the ceiling, how's that sound?

0:10:000:10:02

It would be awesome because I can see everybody dancing.

0:10:020:10:06

It's a Dengineers first - a hole in the ceiling.

0:10:060:10:08

-Love it.

-Yeah! That's it.

0:10:080:10:10

So, that's the podium sorted.

0:10:100:10:11

What else have you got planned?

0:10:110:10:12

Obviously we need to get Joshua up to the podium,

0:10:120:10:15

so we're going to have colourful stairs,

0:10:150:10:17

-customised, in your favourite colours.

-Yeah.

0:10:170:10:19

And then there's going to be a VIP space underneath.

0:10:190:10:22

VIP space?!

0:10:220:10:23

-Yes.

-Is that what you imagined?

0:10:230:10:25

Yeah - well, better!

0:10:250:10:27

Better than you imagined, I thought so.

0:10:270:10:28

Olga's design for the garage space

0:10:290:10:31

has been given the Joshua seal of approval.

0:10:310:10:34

She plans to cut out a section of the roof

0:10:360:10:38

to give Joshua a raised DJ podium.

0:10:380:10:41

On the ground floor of the den, Olga's designed a dance floor

0:10:410:10:44

covered by cool lights

0:10:440:10:46

and an awesome VIP area were Joshua can kick back between his DJ sets.

0:10:460:10:51

It's time for the Dengineers team to get cracking.

0:10:550:10:58

And when we come to build a den, we come with a serious amount of kit!

0:10:590:11:03

-Oh! Oh...

-Are you all right?

0:11:030:11:05

-You OK?

-I thought I was going to drop it then.

-We're good.

0:11:050:11:07

Can we have another pair of hands around here?

0:11:070:11:10

Can you just move that towards the little gap there?

0:11:100:11:13

Push it over. That's it.

0:11:130:11:15

And then the next one come in.

0:11:150:11:17

The team have well and truly moved in,

0:11:170:11:19

but, unfortunately, so has the horrible weather.

0:11:190:11:22

But it's going to take more than just a torrential downpour

0:11:240:11:27

to stop the Dengineers.

0:11:270:11:29

Now, what was it that Mum said would be the worst thing

0:11:310:11:34

that could happen to the garage?

0:11:340:11:36

The worst thing he could do

0:11:370:11:38

would be putting some big hole in the roof.

0:11:380:11:41

'Well, don't worry, Mum, because the first job of the day is...'

0:11:420:11:46

It's coming! Yay!

0:11:460:11:48

'..well, to put a massive hole in the roof.'

0:11:480:11:50

Whoo! Well in! Well in, lads.

0:11:500:11:53

'So maybe do worry a bit, Mum.'

0:11:530:11:55

The team spend most of the day

0:11:580:11:59

bringing down the ceiling of the garage

0:11:590:12:01

so Josh's DJ podium can be constructed.

0:12:010:12:05

-Great, isn't it?

-Am I DJing up there, or down here?

0:12:050:12:08

No, you're going to be up there.

0:12:080:12:10

The crowd's going to be here,

0:12:100:12:12

-with their hands up, and you giving us the music.

-Cool.

0:12:120:12:15

-How does that sound?

-Awesome.

0:12:150:12:16

It's been a monumental effort by the Dengineers,

0:12:170:12:20

but as day one comes to an end,

0:12:200:12:22

the team aren't quite as far ahead as they'd like.

0:12:220:12:26

There's still plenty to do,

0:12:260:12:28

but that's absolutely fine. We still have three days

0:12:280:12:30

and we're going to be ready for the reveal - 100%.

0:12:300:12:33

It's day two in Cardiff and the rain clouds have moved on,

0:12:340:12:38

meaning the Dengineers can get back on track with the build.

0:12:380:12:40

Whilst electrician Richard works on making sure that Joshua

0:12:440:12:48

has all the power he needs to DJ away...

0:12:480:12:50

..the rest of the team start cladding the walls

0:12:520:12:54

with the wooden panels.

0:12:540:12:55

When it's finished, there'll be enough wooden cladding in this den

0:12:560:12:59

to cover half a football pitch.

0:12:590:13:01

Lauren. Where's Lauren?

0:13:050:13:07

Lauren is... How do I say working?

0:13:070:13:09

-Work.

-Working.

0:13:090:13:11

HORN HONKS

0:13:130:13:14

The team's next task is to fit the staircase

0:13:140:13:17

that will join the two floors.

0:13:170:13:19

This is really important moment now.

0:13:190:13:21

-Magnificent!

-They're huge.

0:13:210:13:23

This structure has nothing supporting it from underneath,

0:13:230:13:26

which makes the staircase look like it's floating.

0:13:260:13:28

I catch up with Dengineer Gareth

0:13:300:13:32

to find out the engineering behind this design.

0:13:320:13:35

How does that not snap when you walk up it?

0:13:350:13:37

Well, these stairs, Mark, have got three points of contact.

0:13:370:13:40

They are physically fixed at the top, the bottom,

0:13:400:13:43

and on that side wall -

0:13:430:13:45

but what gives these days its strength

0:13:450:13:47

is this relatively thin-looking piece of wood here.

0:13:470:13:50

The key pieces of wood in this structure

0:13:520:13:54

are the ones on either side of the stairs, called stringers.

0:13:540:13:58

It may not look like it,

0:13:580:13:59

but these carry the weight of anyone who walks up the stairs,

0:13:590:14:02

meaning there's no need for any support from underneath...

0:14:020:14:05

and they do this job

0:14:050:14:06

because of the way they're positioned in the structure.

0:14:060:14:09

Have a go at snapping that one on the flat.

0:14:090:14:12

Now, think about this, same-sized piece of wood, put it on its edge,

0:14:140:14:17

now try and snap that.

0:14:170:14:18

You're a big fellow, you're not going to do it.

0:14:180:14:21

It's that depth of the wood that gives the stairs the strength.

0:14:210:14:24

-Right.

-So these pieces either side are carrying all the weight.

0:14:240:14:28

Positioning the wood in this way creates a structure so strong

0:14:290:14:33

that it can carry the weight of 20 people stood on the stairs at once.

0:14:330:14:36

Wow! Well, Gareth, you're definitely the right man

0:14:360:14:38

for the job cos this is incredible.

0:14:380:14:40

Yeah, we're pleased with how it's going. Thank you, Mark.

0:14:400:14:42

It's been a tough day for the team,

0:14:440:14:46

but all their hard work has paid off

0:14:460:14:49

and the staircase is a massive success.

0:14:490:14:51

Time for a Olga to carefully guide Joshua up to check out the new view.

0:14:530:14:57

-That's amazing.

-Wow.

0:14:570:14:59

-That's brilliant!

-This is awesome.

0:14:590:15:00

The view was amazing. I could just imagine my podium being there

0:15:000:15:05

and seeing everybody dancing.

0:15:050:15:06

It's going to be awesome.

0:15:060:15:08

The den is really starting to take shape,

0:15:090:15:12

so I think it's time for me and Joshua to leave Cardiff behind

0:15:120:15:15

for a few hours to get some inspiration for this awesome DJ den.

0:15:150:15:19

Joshua, fist-bump me.

0:15:200:15:21

Nice to see you. I've brought you here

0:15:210:15:23

to the BBC's New Broadcasting House in London -

0:15:230:15:26

do you have any idea why?

0:15:260:15:28

-No.

-What if I told you that we're going to take a little tour

0:15:280:15:32

around the Radio 1 studios?

0:15:320:15:35

-Really?

-Yeah. Would you like that?

0:15:350:15:38

-Yeah!

-Shall we go for it?

-Yeah.

-Come on, let's go.

0:15:380:15:40

Radio 1 is home to some of the biggest DJs on the planet

0:15:430:15:47

and we've only gone and got VIP access to the whole place...

0:15:470:15:50

..starting with a welcome from the legend that is Greg James.

0:15:520:15:55

-Are you Josh?

-Yeah.

0:15:550:15:57

You're an aspiring DJ?

0:15:570:15:58

-Yeah.

-You're in the right place. Nice to meet you, Josh. I'm Greg.

0:15:580:16:02

So, congratulations, welcome to the team.

0:16:020:16:04

Right now, Matt Edmondson's show is going out live to millions

0:16:080:16:11

of listeners and we're about to gate-crash the party.

0:16:110:16:15

Hello!

0:16:150:16:16

Hello, Matt Edmondson!

0:16:160:16:18

-Hi, Josh, how are you doing?

-Good, thanks.

0:16:180:16:20

So, are you about to go live any second?

0:16:200:16:22

We're going to go live in about 45 seconds.

0:16:220:16:25

45 seconds. How exciting is that?

0:16:250:16:27

Do you want to run around and have a quick look?

0:16:270:16:29

Go on. Go and get your face in there.

0:16:290:16:31

When this gets to the green section,

0:16:310:16:34

do you want to press that button, "go", there? Yeah?

0:16:340:16:37

And that will actually go out on the radio.

0:16:370:16:39

So, come and put your finger over it now.

0:16:390:16:41

-So, press it now.

-What, the red one?

0:16:410:16:43

'BBC Radio 1.'

0:16:430:16:45

So that was Catfish and the Bottlemen,

0:16:450:16:48

and this is Iggy, now, and Team.

0:16:480:16:50

-Thank you very much, Josh. Good work.

-You did it!

0:16:500:16:52

-How good was that?

-Go Josh!

0:16:520:16:54

You made something actually happen on Radio 1!

0:16:540:16:56

You can put on your business card, Radio 1 DJ, now,

0:16:560:16:59

cos that isn't a lie!

0:16:590:17:01

This VIP access is brilliant.

0:17:030:17:05

But if Josh wants to become a superstar DJ one day,

0:17:050:17:08

he's going to need to learn some tricks from the pros,

0:17:080:17:11

so we've enlisted the help of Radio 1 legend and Joshua's favourite DJ,

0:17:110:17:15

Annie Mac, to give him a mixing masterclass.

0:17:150:17:19

-Hi, Joshua!

-Hiya.

-I'm Annie.

0:17:190:17:23

-Hiya.

-Nice to meet you.

0:17:230:17:25

Come on in. How's it going?

0:17:250:17:26

Good.

0:17:260:17:27

Annie Mac is one of Radio 1's top DJs

0:17:280:17:31

and her show gets over one million listeners every week,

0:17:310:17:35

so who better to teach him some pro moves?

0:17:350:17:37

Here you have your speed,

0:17:390:17:40

-so this is called BPM.

-Yeah.

0:17:400:17:42

The beats per minute. So that's 124.8

0:17:420:17:44

and we want to make this the same speed.

0:17:440:17:47

-OK.

-What's that saying now?

-125.4.

0:17:470:17:49

So we want to make it 124.8.

0:17:490:17:51

So push that upwards slowly and you'll get to 124.8.

0:17:510:17:56

There you go. So now you've got the same speeds.

0:17:560:17:59

Now you have to press the start of this, when there's a beat on here.

0:17:590:18:02

-BEAT PLAYS THROUGH HEADPHONES

-So you have to count.

0:18:020:18:04

Two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four.

0:18:040:18:09

SHE MIXES NEXT BEAT IN

0:18:090:18:11

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

0:18:110:18:13

That's it.

0:18:130:18:15

And then this one counts out the time for you.

0:18:150:18:17

It's really easy.

0:18:170:18:18

One, two, three, four...

0:18:180:18:21

-Amazing!

-Yeah!

0:18:210:18:22

'This has been the best day of my life.'

0:18:220:18:25

I've just met Annie Mac and got to DJ with her.

0:18:250:18:28

Ideally, you'll mix at the end of the record,

0:18:280:18:30

so you'll wait until the last, kind of, 10 or 20 seconds.

0:18:300:18:33

I never thought this was going to happen.

0:18:330:18:35

And then bring this fader down...

0:18:350:18:37

Yes!

0:18:400:18:41

DJ!

0:18:420:18:44

-DJ in the place!

-Amazing.

0:18:440:18:47

Whoo!

0:18:470:18:48

Yes, Joshua.

0:18:480:18:50

-Did you enjoy that, Josh?

-Yeah.

0:18:500:18:52

So, Annie, what do you think of Josh's skills?

0:18:520:18:54

I think he's got it. I think you've got what it takes to be a DJ.

0:18:540:18:57

The most and important thing is about having the passion,

0:18:570:18:59

and having the commitment, and just wanting to do it all the time,

0:18:590:19:02

and, like anything, the more you do it, the better you're going to get.

0:19:020:19:05

-Annie, thank you so much...

-My absolute pleasure.

0:19:050:19:07

..for letting us come and see you and teaching us all the tricks.

0:19:070:19:09

-I can't wait to see the finished den, to be honest.

-Yeah.

-I want one!

0:19:090:19:12

It's day three of the build

0:19:160:19:17

and the Dengineers team have got loads to do

0:19:170:19:20

to get this den finished in time for the big reveal tomorrow.

0:19:200:19:23

A fast start is crucial today,

0:19:260:19:29

and that means all hands to the pump.

0:19:290:19:31

Joshua won't see the den until the big reveal tomorrow,

0:19:310:19:35

but that doesn't mean his work is done...

0:19:350:19:37

Because Olga needs both his and brother Owen's help

0:19:370:19:40

with the upcycle.

0:19:400:19:41

-One for you.

-Thank you.

0:19:460:19:47

One for you.

0:19:470:19:48

For this upcycle, Olga is taking an antique-style frame

0:19:480:19:52

and plans to turn it into a cool gig poster

0:19:520:19:54

to go on the wall of Joshua's Den.

0:19:540:19:57

First up, Joshua and Owen paint the frame blue

0:19:570:19:59

to fit in with the colour scheme of the den.

0:19:590:20:01

That's it! Brilliant!

0:20:020:20:03

Lovely coverage.

0:20:050:20:06

Then, whilst the frame dries,

0:20:060:20:07

Olga, Joshua and Owen wrap a piece of wood in a special material

0:20:070:20:11

which will allow Joshua to write on his gigs,

0:20:110:20:14

and then wipe it clean afterwards.

0:20:140:20:16

-Shall we see if it works?

-Yeah.

0:20:160:20:18

That's lovely.

0:20:180:20:21

-Rub it out, then.

-Yeah!

0:20:210:20:23

The next time Joshua will see his gig board,

0:20:230:20:25

it will be complete with personalised logos

0:20:250:20:28

and will be on the wall of his den.

0:20:280:20:29

The team have been working flat out all day,

0:20:340:20:36

so it's time for them to down tools and take over Joshua's living room

0:20:360:20:40

for a lunchtime treat of fish and chips.

0:20:400:20:43

And whilst the Dengineers take on board some much-needed energy,

0:20:430:20:46

I catch up with Joshua's mum and dad

0:20:460:20:48

to find out why this den is so important for DJ JJ Josh.

0:20:480:20:52

What will this mean to Joshua?

0:20:520:20:54

How important is this for him?

0:20:540:20:56

This is going to be massively important for Joshua.

0:20:560:20:59

Him and Owen are really good friends,

0:20:590:21:02

Owen follows him around all the time,

0:21:020:21:04

but there comes a point when Joshua wants some time on his own

0:21:040:21:06

and he doesn't get any of that,

0:21:060:21:08

so having this DJ den is going to give him the time alone he needs.

0:21:080:21:10

And, for us, we kind of forget how patient he is with Owen.

0:21:100:21:14

He's 11 years old -

0:21:140:21:16

he does a lot more for his brother than most do.

0:21:160:21:19

What does Owen struggle with that Joshua needs to be there for him?

0:21:190:21:22

He struggles with communication

0:21:220:21:24

because his speech is still so much delayed.

0:21:240:21:27

He does a lot of Makaton signing

0:21:270:21:29

and Joshua converses with him in that way a lot,

0:21:290:21:32

so they've got that bond.

0:21:320:21:34

Is this going to mean a lot to Owen, as well?

0:21:340:21:36

-Do you reckon he's going to love it?

-Oh, definitely!

0:21:360:21:38

I'm sure that he'll spend many hours in there when Joshua allows him.

0:21:380:21:43

-Yeah!

-Pretending that he's the man and...

0:21:430:21:46

-He's the Calvin Harris!

-Yeah!

0:21:460:21:47

Yeah, exactly.

0:21:470:21:48

The pressure to get the den done is rising.

0:21:530:21:56

So you just have to go left...

0:21:560:21:58

-Go left.

-..and then up.

0:21:580:22:01

I'm feeling really excited about the big reveal.

0:22:030:22:06

I can't wait to see the finished den and have my first party.

0:22:060:22:09

For the team to have any hope of getting the den finished in time

0:22:110:22:14

for Joshua's big reveal party,

0:22:140:22:16

they're going to have to work late into the night.

0:22:160:22:19

Today's been a very hard day for everybody,

0:22:200:22:23

but we're not giving up.

0:22:230:22:24

I'm slightly worried, but, that the end of the day,

0:22:240:22:27

I kind of have a feeling

0:22:270:22:28

that everything's going to end up very well.

0:22:280:22:30

It's day four and, despite working late into the night,

0:22:340:22:37

Olga and the team are facing a race against time

0:22:370:22:40

to get the den finished.

0:22:400:22:42

Come on, what needs doing?

0:22:420:22:43

I feel like it's going to be all hands on deck right now.

0:22:430:22:45

So we need to organise the VIP area.

0:22:450:22:47

OK.

0:22:470:22:48

Me and Lols help Olga

0:22:500:22:52

attach Joshua's speaker graphics to the wall...

0:22:520:22:54

That's it. Perfect.

0:22:540:22:55

..before moving on to set up his VIP area.

0:22:570:22:59

I'll pull, you pull that. Hah! Go!

0:22:590:23:03

Go... Yes!

0:23:030:23:04

But with the big reveal a matter of hours away,

0:23:040:23:07

the pressure is really on to get this den done.

0:23:070:23:09

Joshua's friends and family have arrived at the house

0:23:130:23:16

and, despite work still being done on the den,

0:23:160:23:18

the team have no choice but to set for the big reveal.

0:23:180:23:21

I'm feeling really nervous and excited at the same time.

0:23:210:23:25

It's nice having all my family and friends here

0:23:250:23:27

to share the excitement with me.

0:23:270:23:29

The Dengineers make one final push for the finish line...

0:23:310:23:34

..and, after a monumental effort,

0:23:360:23:38

Joshua's den is complete.

0:23:380:23:40

This garage used to be a place that was only good for Dad's tools.

0:23:510:23:56

But Olga and her team of dedicated Dengineers have transformed it

0:23:560:24:00

into an awesome space fit for the most professional of superstar DJs.

0:24:000:24:04

But what will DJ JJ Josh and his friends and family

0:24:050:24:09

think of the new Den?

0:24:090:24:10

Time to find out.

0:24:100:24:12

So, guys, are you ready to see DJ JJ Josh's den?

0:24:140:24:19

-ALL:

-Yes!

0:24:190:24:21

Here we go!

0:24:210:24:22

-ALL:

-Five, four, three, two, one!

0:24:220:24:27

ALL CHEER

0:24:270:24:30

Awesome!

0:24:320:24:33

Oh, wow!

0:24:330:24:35

That is amazing.

0:24:350:24:37

Oh, my word!

0:24:380:24:39

-What do you reckon, Josh?

-This is amazing.

0:24:390:24:41

This garage has been transformed into an amazing two-floor DJ den

0:24:440:24:48

where Joshua can work on his skills

0:24:480:24:50

and hang out with his friends and family.

0:24:500:24:53

Downstairs, Joshua's got a dance floor

0:24:530:24:55

where his mates can party away during his gigs.

0:24:550:24:58

He's also got a cool VIP area complete with his gig poster upcycle

0:24:580:25:03

and a memento from his brilliant den day out at Radio 1.

0:25:030:25:07

I think Olga has done an amazing job, hasn't she?

0:25:070:25:10

Dengineers and Josh, with all of the designing, and all the building,

0:25:100:25:13

I think everyone needs a round of applause.

0:25:130:25:15

ALL CLAP AND CHEER

0:25:150:25:17

Owen, good?

0:25:180:25:20

-Awesome!

-ALL:

-Awesome!

0:25:200:25:23

High five!

0:25:230:25:24

And upstairs it gets even better.

0:25:260:25:28

-Whoa!

-Wow!

0:25:280:25:31

Joshua's got a DJ podium complete with personalised logos

0:25:310:25:35

and awesome laser effect lighting to make his music take centre stage.

0:25:350:25:41

This is so cool.

0:25:410:25:43

How amazing is this?

0:25:430:25:44

And your decks are linked up to the speakers

0:25:440:25:46

that are over there already.

0:25:460:25:47

You've got spotlights here shining down on your decks,

0:25:470:25:50

what every DJ needs.

0:25:500:25:51

Do you know what? I love it.

0:25:510:25:53

-I think it's absolutely wicked.

-It's incredible.

0:25:530:25:55

Mark is genuinely jealous right now.

I'm so jealous. Can we go back-to-back on the decks later?

-Yeah.

-Definitely.

# I live my day as if it was the last

0:26:240:26:27

# Live my day as if there was no past

0:26:270:26:30

# Doin' it all night, all summer

0:26:300:26:32

# Doin' it the way I wanna... # Yes!

0:26:320:26:35

I love this den so much.

0:26:370:26:40

I'm going to be in here after school every night practising my DJing.

0:26:400:26:44

# It was a crush

0:26:460:26:48

# But I couldn't couldn't get enough... #

-MUM:

-When I walked into the den, I was completely blown away.

0:26:500:26:54

The attention to detail, the lighting, everything is amazing.

0:26:540:26:58

The den reveal was amazing.

0:27:070:27:08

It's just incredible.

0:27:080:27:10

We are really looking forward to having a few parties here!

0:27:100:27:13

Definitely.

0:27:130:27:14

Big shout for DJ JJ Josh!

-DAD:

-I'm extremely happy for Joshua at the moment.

0:27:190:27:22

I can see in his face how excited he is about this den.

0:27:220:27:25

I can see that going on for many weekends now,

0:27:250:27:27

having friends around for parties and practising his DJ skills.

0:27:270:27:30

I'm definitely going to share this den with my brother, Owen,

0:27:380:27:41

because I think it's not very fair that I get one and Owen doesn't.

0:27:410:27:47

So we're going to share it and be a DJing duo act.

0:27:470:27:51

-ALL CHANT:

-Joshi! Joshi! Joshi!

0:27:510:27:55

We have one very happy Dengineer here in Cardiff

0:27:550:27:58

and I guess there's just one more thing to do...

0:27:580:28:01

-ALL:

-This den is done!
