Flange

/flanj/ verb, noun 1. A flanging sound effect commonly found on DJ mixers—often used mid-set for dramatic, comedic, or chaotic effect. Sounds like a jet engine whooshing past your face at 128 BPM. 2. A sacred ritual performed by live-streamer DJs, where pressing the “flange” button is immediately followed by shouting “FLAAANGE!” in a moment of pure dancefloor theatre. Bonus points if it’s timed perfectly with a rewind or an airhorn. DJ Culture Note: Originally derived from the term flanging—an audio technique where two identical signals are mixed with one slightly delayed, creating that swirling, jet-like sound. But in Twitch DJ culture, “flange” has taken on a life of its own. Less about audio precision, more about vibes and chaos. Sometimes used ironically. Always used loudly.
