0:00:04 > 0:00:08The show that puts you in charge of building your very own dream den.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Dens for adventure...
0:00:11 > 0:00:12Hello, trapdoor!
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Hanging out with your friends and family...
0:00:15 > 0:00:17This den is the best thing ever.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19..and dens built to fulfil your dreams.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21It's more than he could ever want.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22- Oh, Mum!- Aww!
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Whatever your ideas, the Dengineers team are here
0:00:25 > 0:00:28to transform your inspiration into amazing spaces.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Built especially for you.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34- ALL:- This den is done!
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Hello! ALL CHEER
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Yes, you, Lola.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Let's do it!
0:00:53 > 0:00:55That is epic!
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Really happy.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57It's amazing!
0:01:03 > 0:01:07On today's show we're going to be surprising a budding superstar DJ
0:01:07 > 0:01:09by giving him his very own awesome den.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13And we're going to be doing the surprise right here at his house.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Wikka-wikka, yeah! Make some noise!
0:01:15 > 0:01:18That's exactly why you will never be a superstar DJ.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19- Come on.- What?!
0:01:24 > 0:01:29Today's Dengineer is 11-year-old Joshua from Cardiff.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31I need help from the Dengineers
0:01:31 > 0:01:34because I'm really passionate about my music
0:01:34 > 0:01:36and I really want to be a DJ one day.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40This budding DJ loves to play his music...
0:01:40 > 0:01:41and play it loud.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Joshua's family parties are really funky.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47He plays for his audience,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49and they're really cool and hip,
0:01:49 > 0:01:50and we love him.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53DJ Joshua is a hit with all the family,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56but his biggest fan is his brother Owen.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Owen has Down's syndrome, which means he has a learning difficulty.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Joshua spends a lot of time with Owen.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Owen is like his shadow.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Whenever Joshua goes to his bedroom to play on his computer,
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Owen follows.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Whenever Joshua starts DJing, Owen follows.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16These brothers are mega close.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18And even though they're in different classes school...
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- ALL:- Hello, sut wyt ti?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Owen, here, still manages to hang out with his big bro.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28The class absolutely love Owen's visits.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Whenever he happens to be passing our room,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33he'll pop in and have a little word with us.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Big dot.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37One big dot.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38I think they're really close
0:02:38 > 0:02:41because they're always high-fiving each other...
0:02:41 > 0:02:42and they're always hugging.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43It's really nice.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47I think Joshua deserves this den because we have to do things
0:02:47 > 0:02:49slightly differently as a family,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52and it would be great for him to have time alone in the den
0:02:52 > 0:02:54to be able to practise for something
0:02:54 > 0:02:56that he's dreamt of doing for a long time.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Please, Dengineers, I really need your help.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Don't you worry, Joshua,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05our help is exactly what you're going to get.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07You just don't know it yet!
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Joshua's school day is nearly over,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13which means we've got not a lot of time to get loads done,
0:03:13 > 0:03:15to get this house ready for the big surprise.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18We need to get our skates on,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21rigging the house with our super secret cameras.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33For this hit, we've brought our very own Dengineers Mobile disco
0:03:33 > 0:03:35to add some DJ style to the surprise.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41I've got the perfect tune, absolute floor filler.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Go on.- You ready for this? - Yeah, yeah, go on.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45# Never gonna give you up... #
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Oh, dad tune!
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Exactly!
0:03:49 > 0:03:51And that is some dad dancing!
0:03:54 > 0:03:58It's time for Mum to go and pick Joshua and Owen up from school,
0:03:58 > 0:03:59which is just around the corner...
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Which means we've only got a matter of minutes
0:04:03 > 0:04:05to get all the family in position for the big surprise.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- That's it, curled round. - Big family, I love it!- Come in!
0:04:08 > 0:04:10MUSIC: This Is What You Came For by Calvin Harris
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Joshua and his bro have arrived home.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Time to get this party started.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22ALL CHEER
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- Yes!- Wahey, how you doing?! - Hello, Joshua, how are you?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- Good, thanks.- Good!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33My name is Lauren.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37And I'm Mark, and we're from CBBC's The Dengineers.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- We've heard that you love to DJ, is that right?- Yeah.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44We've also heard that you need somewhere to practise your skills.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49- Yeah.- So what if we told you that you're going to come away with us
0:04:49 > 0:04:53to build your very own dream den?
0:04:53 > 0:04:54How does that sound?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- That's cool.- Really cool, isn't it?!
0:04:57 > 0:05:01I'm very excited about getting my den built
0:05:01 > 0:05:06because it means I can have some space to practise on my own,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08and it's very, very, very exciting.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I've got no idea what's going to happen, I'm very nervous.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13And I say, "Bring it on!"
0:05:13 > 0:05:16I'm looking forward to seeing what he designs, what he creates,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19and having fun with it all.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21We have got so much work to do to get this den finished,
0:05:21 > 0:05:23and exactly how you want it to be -
0:05:23 > 0:05:26but I think it's only right we play one more tune
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- and have a little boogie before we go, shall we?- Yeah.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Amazing!- Come on, family, let's do it!- Come on, Gran, let's dance!
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Here we go!
0:05:33 > 0:05:36MUSIC: This Is What You Came For by Calvin Harris
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Our first port of call is the Dengineers mobile HQ,
0:05:44 > 0:05:47which has some mega-cool technology to get this den rolling.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Right, Josh - or should I call you DJ...?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- JJ Josh.- JJ Josh! - DJ JJ Josh, I like it.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Love it.- Tongue twister. Now, listen,
0:05:55 > 0:05:59this is for you to have the power to show us exactly what you want
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- in your den.- These are your ideas,
0:06:01 > 0:06:04so I want you to get in there on that mahoosive screen
0:06:04 > 0:06:06and pick out the stuff you like.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- Are you ready?- Yeah.- So would you like your own, kind of, space,
0:06:10 > 0:06:11like your own podium?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13A bit like this.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Yes!- You want to be above the crowd. - Yeah.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18What do you think about lighting?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21I'd rather be something like this.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Perfect.- Oh, nice. Like, lasers.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- Yeah.- If you have lasers in your den, I'm coming around every night.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- You're not invited.- Oh, come on!
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Now, the first party is obviously going to involve...
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- Family and friends. - ..family and friends.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37What picture would you say you'd like to be on here?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Well, this is a picture of my family.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Oh! Look at you all!
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Are you really close to your little brother?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Yeah.- And why are you two so close?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Well, because he's got Down's syndrome,
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- if he wants something then I do it for him.- Oh, that's good.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- So he'll be loving it in there, won't he?- Yeah.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57I like that picture.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58- Nice.- Because you like sound.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01I mean, if you have that many speakers in there,
0:07:01 > 0:07:02the whole street are going to hear you!
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Joshua has decided on a DJ podium with loads of booming speakers
0:07:08 > 0:07:10and laser lights to create an awesome atmosphere
0:07:10 > 0:07:12to party with his pals.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15So, where are we thinking of having the den?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Er, I'm thinking in the garage.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Ah, in the garage! That's cool
0:07:19 > 0:07:21because we've had stuff in the garden,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23we've done them in a bedroom...
0:07:23 > 0:07:24A basement.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26..a basement, but we've never had a garage.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- This is going to be good. - You happy with this?
0:07:28 > 0:07:29- Yep.- Are you ready?- Yep.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Let's get this den done, come on.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Joshua wants his DJ den in the garage,
0:07:34 > 0:07:38but right now it's packed to the brim with Dad's stuff.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Time for a Dengineers clearout.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Aah!
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Your dad's got so much stuff!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54To get this place ready for a den,
0:07:54 > 0:07:57we're going to need to call in some reinforcements.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I think we should get Mum and Dad in to help.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Mum! Dad! We need your help.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Come on!
0:08:06 > 0:08:08How much junk have you got in this garage, Geoff?!
0:08:12 > 0:08:16To be honest, he's taken my garage, taken all my space,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19and he's going to turn it into something that...I've got no idea...
0:08:19 > 0:08:20It's a little bit scary.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- Yes!- One, two, three, four.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24One, two, three, four.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28The worst thing he could do would be putting some big hole in the roof!
0:08:28 > 0:08:32That scares me a little bit. Hey, we'll wait and see.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39After some stellar work from the Dengineers,
0:08:39 > 0:08:43the garage is cleared and ready to be turned into DJ JJ Josh's den.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48For Mum and Dad, this is the last time we'll see this space
0:08:48 > 0:08:51until the big reveal in just four days' time.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Give it a wave, go on.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- Give it a showbiz wave. - Bye, garage!
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Ta-ra. And you guys...can sling your hook.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Get gone. You're not allowed to be...- Dengineers only.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Off you go, if you can pick your way through that.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- That's a lot of junk that, isn't it? - See you in a bit.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Thanks for your garage.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09The garage is ready.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Now all Joshua needs is a designer to make his dreams a reality.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Step forward Olga.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19She's a specialist in creating mega-cool dens
0:09:19 > 0:09:22and can make the smallest of spaces look totally awesome.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25This girl's got all the skills to make this one a chart topper.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29So, Olga, we have an empty garage
0:09:29 > 0:09:32for you to start working your Dengineers magic in.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33What have you got planned?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Right, so I've seen the images that you've chosen,
0:09:36 > 0:09:37they gave me loads of amazing ideas.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39But first I need to ask you a question.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Would you like a podium kind of thing?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- Yeah.- So like you can see the crowd clapping and dancing?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45So, we need it raised, basically.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48I love that idea, but...
0:09:48 > 0:09:50this space is not very high.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51What can we do, Olga?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Let's do a hole in the ceiling.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- What?!- Yeah, why not?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- You can't just cut a hole in the ceiling!- Yes, you can.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00What do you reckon about having the podium up there?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02With a hole in the ceiling, how's that sound?
0:10:02 > 0:10:06It would be awesome because I can see everybody dancing.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08It's a Dengineers first - a hole in the ceiling.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- Love it.- Yeah! That's it.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11So, that's the podium sorted.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12What else have you got planned?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Obviously we need to get Joshua up to the podium,
0:10:15 > 0:10:17so we're going to have colourful stairs,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- customised, in your favourite colours.- Yeah.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22And then there's going to be a VIP space underneath.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23VIP space?!
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- Yes.- Is that what you imagined?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Yeah - well, better!
0:10:27 > 0:10:28Better than you imagined, I thought so.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Olga's design for the garage space
0:10:31 > 0:10:34has been given the Joshua seal of approval.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38She plans to cut out a section of the roof
0:10:38 > 0:10:41to give Joshua a raised DJ podium.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44On the ground floor of the den, Olga's designed a dance floor
0:10:44 > 0:10:46covered by cool lights
0:10:46 > 0:10:51and an awesome VIP area were Joshua can kick back between his DJ sets.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58It's time for the Dengineers team to get cracking.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03And when we come to build a den, we come with a serious amount of kit!
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- Oh! Oh...- Are you all right?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- You OK?- I thought I was going to drop it then.- We're good.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Can we have another pair of hands around here?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Can you just move that towards the little gap there?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Push it over. That's it.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17And then the next one come in.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19The team have well and truly moved in,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22but, unfortunately, so has the horrible weather.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27But it's going to take more than just a torrential downpour
0:11:27 > 0:11:29to stop the Dengineers.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Now, what was it that Mum said would be the worst thing
0:11:34 > 0:11:36that could happen to the garage?
0:11:37 > 0:11:38The worst thing he could do
0:11:38 > 0:11:41would be putting some big hole in the roof.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46'Well, don't worry, Mum, because the first job of the day is...'
0:11:46 > 0:11:48It's coming! Yay!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50'..well, to put a massive hole in the roof.'
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Whoo! Well in! Well in, lads.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55'So maybe do worry a bit, Mum.'
0:11:58 > 0:11:59The team spend most of the day
0:11:59 > 0:12:01bringing down the ceiling of the garage
0:12:01 > 0:12:05so Josh's DJ podium can be constructed.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- Great, isn't it?- Am I DJing up there, or down here?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10No, you're going to be up there.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12The crowd's going to be here,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- with their hands up, and you giving us the music.- Cool.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16- How does that sound?- Awesome.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20It's been a monumental effort by the Dengineers,
0:12:20 > 0:12:22but as day one comes to an end,
0:12:22 > 0:12:26the team aren't quite as far ahead as they'd like.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28There's still plenty to do,
0:12:28 > 0:12:30but that's absolutely fine. We still have three days
0:12:30 > 0:12:33and we're going to be ready for the reveal - 100%.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38It's day two in Cardiff and the rain clouds have moved on,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40meaning the Dengineers can get back on track with the build.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Whilst electrician Richard works on making sure that Joshua
0:12:48 > 0:12:50has all the power he needs to DJ away...
0:12:52 > 0:12:54..the rest of the team start cladding the walls
0:12:54 > 0:12:55with the wooden panels.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59When it's finished, there'll be enough wooden cladding in this den
0:12:59 > 0:13:01to cover half a football pitch.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Lauren. Where's Lauren?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Lauren is... How do I say working?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Work.- Working.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14HORN HONKS
0:13:14 > 0:13:17The team's next task is to fit the staircase
0:13:17 > 0:13:19that will join the two floors.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21This is really important moment now.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- Magnificent!- They're huge.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26This structure has nothing supporting it from underneath,
0:13:26 > 0:13:28which makes the staircase look like it's floating.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I catch up with Dengineer Gareth
0:13:32 > 0:13:35to find out the engineering behind this design.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37How does that not snap when you walk up it?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Well, these stairs, Mark, have got three points of contact.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43They are physically fixed at the top, the bottom,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45and on that side wall -
0:13:45 > 0:13:47but what gives these days its strength
0:13:47 > 0:13:50is this relatively thin-looking piece of wood here.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54The key pieces of wood in this structure
0:13:54 > 0:13:58are the ones on either side of the stairs, called stringers.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59It may not look like it,
0:13:59 > 0:14:02but these carry the weight of anyone who walks up the stairs,
0:14:02 > 0:14:05meaning there's no need for any support from underneath...
0:14:05 > 0:14:06and they do this job
0:14:06 > 0:14:09because of the way they're positioned in the structure.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Have a go at snapping that one on the flat.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Now, think about this, same-sized piece of wood, put it on its edge,
0:14:17 > 0:14:18now try and snap that.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21You're a big fellow, you're not going to do it.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24It's that depth of the wood that gives the stairs the strength.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- Right.- So these pieces either side are carrying all the weight.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Positioning the wood in this way creates a structure so strong
0:14:33 > 0:14:36that it can carry the weight of 20 people stood on the stairs at once.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Wow! Well, Gareth, you're definitely the right man
0:14:38 > 0:14:40for the job cos this is incredible.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Yeah, we're pleased with how it's going. Thank you, Mark.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46It's been a tough day for the team,
0:14:46 > 0:14:49but all their hard work has paid off
0:14:49 > 0:14:51and the staircase is a massive success.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Time for a Olga to carefully guide Joshua up to check out the new view.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- That's amazing.- Wow.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00- That's brilliant!- This is awesome.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05The view was amazing. I could just imagine my podium being there
0:15:05 > 0:15:06and seeing everybody dancing.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08It's going to be awesome.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12The den is really starting to take shape,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15so I think it's time for me and Joshua to leave Cardiff behind
0:15:15 > 0:15:19for a few hours to get some inspiration for this awesome DJ den.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Joshua, fist-bump me.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Nice to see you. I've brought you here
0:15:23 > 0:15:26to the BBC's New Broadcasting House in London -
0:15:26 > 0:15:28do you have any idea why?
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- No.- What if I told you that we're going to take a little tour
0:15:32 > 0:15:35around the Radio 1 studios?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Really?- Yeah. Would you like that?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- Yeah!- Shall we go for it?- Yeah. - Come on, let's go.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Radio 1 is home to some of the biggest DJs on the planet
0:15:47 > 0:15:50and we've only gone and got VIP access to the whole place...
0:15:52 > 0:15:55..starting with a welcome from the legend that is Greg James.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- Are you Josh?- Yeah.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58You're an aspiring DJ?
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- Yeah.- You're in the right place. Nice to meet you, Josh. I'm Greg.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04So, congratulations, welcome to the team.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Right now, Matt Edmondson's show is going out live to millions
0:16:11 > 0:16:15of listeners and we're about to gate-crash the party.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16Hello!
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Hello, Matt Edmondson!
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- Hi, Josh, how are you doing? - Good, thanks.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22So, are you about to go live any second?
0:16:22 > 0:16:25We're going to go live in about 45 seconds.
0:16:25 > 0:16:2745 seconds. How exciting is that?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Do you want to run around and have a quick look?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Go on. Go and get your face in there.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34When this gets to the green section,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37do you want to press that button, "go", there? Yeah?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39And that will actually go out on the radio.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41So, come and put your finger over it now.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- So, press it now.- What, the red one?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45'BBC Radio 1.'
0:16:45 > 0:16:48So that was Catfish and the Bottlemen,
0:16:48 > 0:16:50and this is Iggy, now, and Team.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- Thank you very much, Josh. Good work.- You did it!
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- How good was that?- Go Josh!
0:16:54 > 0:16:56You made something actually happen on Radio 1!
0:16:56 > 0:16:59You can put on your business card, Radio 1 DJ, now,
0:16:59 > 0:17:01cos that isn't a lie!
0:17:03 > 0:17:05This VIP access is brilliant.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08But if Josh wants to become a superstar DJ one day,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11he's going to need to learn some tricks from the pros,
0:17:11 > 0:17:15so we've enlisted the help of Radio 1 legend and Joshua's favourite DJ,
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Annie Mac, to give him a mixing masterclass.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- Hi, Joshua!- Hiya.- I'm Annie.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- Hiya.- Nice to meet you.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26Come on in. How's it going?
0:17:26 > 0:17:27Good.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Annie Mac is one of Radio 1's top DJs
0:17:31 > 0:17:35and her show gets over one million listeners every week,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37so who better to teach him some pro moves?
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Here you have your speed,
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- so this is called BPM.- Yeah.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44The beats per minute. So that's 124.8
0:17:44 > 0:17:47and we want to make this the same speed.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- OK.- What's that saying now?- 125.4.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51So we want to make it 124.8.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56So push that upwards slowly and you'll get to 124.8.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59There you go. So now you've got the same speeds.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Now you have to press the start of this, when there's a beat on here.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04- BEAT PLAYS THROUGH HEADPHONES - So you have to count.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09Two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11SHE MIXES NEXT BEAT IN
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- Yeah!- Yeah!
0:18:13 > 0:18:15That's it.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17And then this one counts out the time for you.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18It's really easy.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21One, two, three, four...
0:18:21 > 0:18:22- Amazing!- Yeah!
0:18:22 > 0:18:25'This has been the best day of my life.'
0:18:25 > 0:18:28I've just met Annie Mac and got to DJ with her.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Ideally, you'll mix at the end of the record,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33so you'll wait until the last, kind of, 10 or 20 seconds.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I never thought this was going to happen.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37And then bring this fader down...
0:18:40 > 0:18:41Yes!
0:18:42 > 0:18:44DJ!
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- DJ in the place!- Amazing.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48Whoo!
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Yes, Joshua.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- Did you enjoy that, Josh?- Yeah.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54So, Annie, what do you think of Josh's skills?
0:18:54 > 0:18:57I think he's got it. I think you've got what it takes to be a DJ.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59The most and important thing is about having the passion,
0:18:59 > 0:19:02and having the commitment, and just wanting to do it all the time,
0:19:02 > 0:19:05and, like anything, the more you do it, the better you're going to get.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- Annie, thank you so much... - My absolute pleasure.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09..for letting us come and see you and teaching us all the tricks.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- I can't wait to see the finished den, to be honest.- Yeah.- I want one!
0:19:16 > 0:19:17It's day three of the build
0:19:17 > 0:19:20and the Dengineers team have got loads to do
0:19:20 > 0:19:23to get this den finished in time for the big reveal tomorrow.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29A fast start is crucial today,
0:19:29 > 0:19:31and that means all hands to the pump.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Joshua won't see the den until the big reveal tomorrow,
0:19:35 > 0:19:37but that doesn't mean his work is done...
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Because Olga needs both his and brother Owen's help
0:19:40 > 0:19:41with the upcycle.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47- One for you.- Thank you.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48One for you.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52For this upcycle, Olga is taking an antique-style frame
0:19:52 > 0:19:54and plans to turn it into a cool gig poster
0:19:54 > 0:19:57to go on the wall of Joshua's Den.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59First up, Joshua and Owen paint the frame blue
0:19:59 > 0:20:01to fit in with the colour scheme of the den.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03That's it! Brilliant!
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Lovely coverage.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07Then, whilst the frame dries,
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Olga, Joshua and Owen wrap a piece of wood in a special material
0:20:11 > 0:20:14which will allow Joshua to write on his gigs,
0:20:14 > 0:20:16and then wipe it clean afterwards.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- Shall we see if it works?- Yeah.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21That's lovely.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- Rub it out, then.- Yeah!
0:20:23 > 0:20:25The next time Joshua will see his gig board,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28it will be complete with personalised logos
0:20:28 > 0:20:29and will be on the wall of his den.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36The team have been working flat out all day,
0:20:36 > 0:20:40so it's time for them to down tools and take over Joshua's living room
0:20:40 > 0:20:43for a lunchtime treat of fish and chips.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46And whilst the Dengineers take on board some much-needed energy,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48I catch up with Joshua's mum and dad
0:20:48 > 0:20:52to find out why this den is so important for DJ JJ Josh.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54What will this mean to Joshua?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56How important is this for him?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59This is going to be massively important for Joshua.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Him and Owen are really good friends,
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Owen follows him around all the time,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06but there comes a point when Joshua wants some time on his own
0:21:06 > 0:21:08and he doesn't get any of that,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10so having this DJ den is going to give him the time alone he needs.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14And, for us, we kind of forget how patient he is with Owen.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16He's 11 years old -
0:21:16 > 0:21:19he does a lot more for his brother than most do.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22What does Owen struggle with that Joshua needs to be there for him?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24He struggles with communication
0:21:24 > 0:21:27because his speech is still so much delayed.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29He does a lot of Makaton signing
0:21:29 > 0:21:32and Joshua converses with him in that way a lot,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34so they've got that bond.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Is this going to mean a lot to Owen, as well?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Do you reckon he's going to love it? - Oh, definitely!
0:21:38 > 0:21:43I'm sure that he'll spend many hours in there when Joshua allows him.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- Yeah!- Pretending that he's the man and...
0:21:46 > 0:21:47- He's the Calvin Harris!- Yeah!
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Yeah, exactly.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56The pressure to get the den done is rising.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58So you just have to go left...
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Go left.- ..and then up.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06I'm feeling really excited about the big reveal.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09I can't wait to see the finished den and have my first party.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14For the team to have any hope of getting the den finished in time
0:22:14 > 0:22:16for Joshua's big reveal party,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19they're going to have to work late into the night.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Today's been a very hard day for everybody,
0:22:23 > 0:22:24but we're not giving up.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I'm slightly worried, but, that the end of the day,
0:22:27 > 0:22:28I kind of have a feeling
0:22:28 > 0:22:30that everything's going to end up very well.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37It's day four and, despite working late into the night,
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Olga and the team are facing a race against time
0:22:40 > 0:22:42to get the den finished.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Come on, what needs doing?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45I feel like it's going to be all hands on deck right now.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47So we need to organise the VIP area.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48OK.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Me and Lols help Olga
0:22:52 > 0:22:54attach Joshua's speaker graphics to the wall...
0:22:54 > 0:22:55That's it. Perfect.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59..before moving on to set up his VIP area.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03I'll pull, you pull that. Hah! Go!
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Go... Yes!
0:23:04 > 0:23:07But with the big reveal a matter of hours away,
0:23:07 > 0:23:09the pressure is really on to get this den done.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Joshua's friends and family have arrived at the house
0:23:16 > 0:23:18and, despite work still being done on the den,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21the team have no choice but to set for the big reveal.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25I'm feeling really nervous and excited at the same time.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27It's nice having all my family and friends here
0:23:27 > 0:23:29to share the excitement with me.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34The Dengineers make one final push for the finish line...
0:23:36 > 0:23:38..and, after a monumental effort,
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Joshua's den is complete.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56This garage used to be a place that was only good for Dad's tools.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00But Olga and her team of dedicated Dengineers have transformed it
0:24:00 > 0:24:04into an awesome space fit for the most professional of superstar DJs.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09But what will DJ JJ Josh and his friends and family
0:24:09 > 0:24:10think of the new Den?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Time to find out.
0:24:14 > 0:24:19So, guys, are you ready to see DJ JJ Josh's den?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- ALL:- Yes!
0:24:21 > 0:24:22Here we go!
0:24:22 > 0:24:27- ALL:- Five, four, three, two, one!
0:24:27 > 0:24:30ALL CHEER
0:24:32 > 0:24:33Awesome!
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Oh, wow!
0:24:35 > 0:24:37That is amazing.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39Oh, my word!
0:24:39 > 0:24:41- What do you reckon, Josh? - This is amazing.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48This garage has been transformed into an amazing two-floor DJ den
0:24:48 > 0:24:50where Joshua can work on his skills
0:24:50 > 0:24:53and hang out with his friends and family.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Downstairs, Joshua's got a dance floor
0:24:55 > 0:24:58where his mates can party away during his gigs.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03He's also got a cool VIP area complete with his gig poster upcycle
0:25:03 > 0:25:07and a memento from his brilliant den day out at Radio 1.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10I think Olga has done an amazing job, hasn't she?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Dengineers and Josh, with all of the designing, and all the building,
0:25:13 > 0:25:15I think everyone needs a round of applause.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17ALL CLAP AND CHEER
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Owen, good?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- Awesome! - ALL:- Awesome!
0:25:23 > 0:25:24High five!
0:25:26 > 0:25:28And upstairs it gets even better.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- Whoa!- Wow!
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Joshua's got a DJ podium complete with personalised logos
0:25:35 > 0:25:41and awesome laser effect lighting to make his music take centre stage.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43This is so cool.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44How amazing is this?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46And your decks are linked up to the speakers
0:25:46 > 0:25:47that are over there already.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50You've got spotlights here shining down on your decks,
0:25:50 > 0:25:51what every DJ needs.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Do you know what? I love it.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- I think it's absolutely wicked. - It's incredible.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56Mark is genuinely jealous right now.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59I'm so jealous. Can we go back-to-back on the decks later?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- Yeah.- Definitely?- Definitely.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02Amazing!
0:26:05 > 0:26:08This den is a number one hit with everyone.
0:26:08 > 0:26:13Time for DJ JJ Josh's debut performance.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Welcome to DJ JJ Josh's club.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20- Come on in!- Come on in, everyone!
