DJ Metrognome and J. Moore celebrate 20 years of Take That Tuesday

March 18, 2026

For two decades, Take That Tuesday has been a cornerstone of Indianapolis hip-hop DJ culture—providing a space for both emerging and veteran turntablists to share music outside the constraints of commercial club environments.

On March 31, Take That Tuesday will celebrate its 20th anniversary at Coaches, featuring a guest set from Canadian DJ and producer Skratch Bastid, a three-time Scribble Jam DJ Battle champion.

WFYI’s Kyle Long recently spoke with Take That Tuesday hosts DJ MetroGnome and J. Moore.

Nick Saligoe, widely known as DJ MetroGnome, is a veteran Indianapolis DJ, promoter, and educator. He is also the co-founder of Deckademics, a DJ and music production school based in Indianapolis.

J. Moore is the voice of Take That Tuesday. In addition to his work behind the mic, he is a key contributor to the New Old Heads Podcast, an Indianapolis-based series that brings together DJs, MCs, and producers to discuss hip-hop culture.
