before I could play 1 song last night at my gig, a guy ran up on me and yelled at me to play “Queen” so I started my set with Bohemian Rhapsody and everyone boo’d. I told the crowd this is what happens when we play requests and I pointed to the guy haha
Working my ass off and dedicating my life to being able to be a full time dj < covid
tbh 8 months of this has had me on a rollercoaster of emotions. It ain’t just me either. Sending some strength to my brothers & sisters who are feeling this like I am 😞
Remember when Nelly Furtado Promiscuous was THEE BIGGEST song in clubs. That was hella fun, and you never mix it in. Just cut it in at the 1. Instant dance floor greatness
Y’all headlining DJs who bitch about openning DJs burning you should suck a butthole. If youre SO good, you should be able to kill it no matter what u sucka ass fake privileged jerk. Over paid asses. Work for yours. U need the opening DJs to save u??? Really? Haha 🤔
my current DJ life is like... spend hours on hours finding the coolest new house /dance music, so i can go to my weekend gig and play sage the gemini gas pedal again. but actually not this weekend haha :) well sort of...
btw m sick of Djs complaining about other Djs. I’m just here to tell you guys my thoughts n shit. It’s all from my lens/perspective. But I’d never hate on another DJ who’s out here paying their bills and doing what they love, like me 🤘🏼
I haven’t listened to or played thotiana in about 4 weeks and my health has got better, My bank account has noticeably grown, and my skin has cleared up
Some of these parties I dj at it’s like if you were there you were there. Im having too much fun to pull my phone out and record. Fun to me isn’t showing everyone im having fun I’m not sorry
I asked a fellow dj to email me an MP3. In the time I waited for him to send, I bought the CD single on discogs. Had it sent to my apartment. I taught my girlfriend how to rip a cd and she sent it to me while I was over seas 🤣 made an edit. And didn’t play it
so last night the people at my gig were so aggressive with making song requests, I asked the manager to put a tip jar out. Made an extra $300 bucks! Lol 🤷🏻♂️
just had a bit of a music/DJ related revelation I wanted to share. As a DJ that loves to play house music, but I’m not in the House music “scene” and speaking for everyone who’s just like me, I think we’re super under appreciated…
There’s no better feeling (to me) as a DJ than showing up to a gig with zero prep and just ripping. Making sets is cool and all, but for me to really have true fun with crowds I need to feed off the crowd on some not planned shit
When club managers or owners or whoever act like Djs using turntables is outdated - guitar players still play the guitar right? Same thing imo. So let us use our instruments please 🙂
I remember at one time in my career I considered doing drugs just to get in with certain crowds who I knew were all about ⛄️ isnt that sick. I’m so glad I never did. I’ve never even tried it once
Lil Jon was in my stream tonight telling some amazing music story’s. He said when he did the INOJ time after time remix he went to a Cyndi Lauper concert, and in her dressing room she told him she loved his remix 😳 classic!
Since there was no 3 style world finals this year I’m gonna add world champ 2 YEARS IN A ROW to my bio 🤣 I mean technically I’m not lying. I’m kidding tho guys don’t come at me
B2b w/ Shintaro & FCZ every night for two weeks is so lit. we literally have people crying tears of joy from music - and then I come home to promoters hating on me for not playing the same 10 hip songs. This is why I dj at home once a month now
When I started Djing you had to buy every song/record if you wanted to play it. Can you imagine! & House music records were double the price of Hip Hop because it was mostly imported from over seas
I used to show up to ARENAS and DJ for 17,000 people with zero prep, but now of days I won’t DJ on twitch for 200 people without an entire game plan. Boy I’ve changed lol
I had someone reach out to book me - “but if people start to have too much fun and dance you need to change the music” soooo you want me to DJ, but suck.. ok got it 🙄 strange times we are in
Idk who y’all people are who go to clubs. do you even follow Djs? Right now is the greatest time to see a dj, DJ! All us are playing from our soul. Even the guys who never play from their souls! ha ha ha
I’ve opened for
@djcarnage
he told me to play whatever the hell I wanted. I did. The night was great. When I dj, I also tell the openers (if they ask) the same thing
Why do all rappers have to say they are the best rapper? I can easily name you 10 DJs who are way better than me, with no shame. Why in Rap is that like not ok to do?
it’s crazy how out here in the Bay we have a LONG list of club records from like 2004-present that are still HUGE here, people know them word for word. But it only exists here
Why is most people who like house/dance music, also like hip hop, but most people who like hip hop 1st totally hate anything that’s not hip hop (in a club) ?
Just got to Paris the immigration officer asks me if I’m from the west coast. I said yes, and he says “west coast is the best coast” this is gonna be a good trip lol
I made it through a whole set without playing like 90% of all the same ass songs you always hear at a hip hop party in the Bay. There is hope. I witnessed it! Or maybe I’m just hella good at djing idk ha ha ha 🥁
