Don't be fooled. A lot of these so called 'diggers' and 'eclectic selectors' is just rich kids who recently discovered they could aquire kudos buying up expensive records and 'holy grail' music. That ain't where the magics at!!!

The likes of Hör and Boiler Room have never had anything to do with underground dance music culture. They are merely chancers… auctioneers, looking for profit. They do not plant or nurture any seeds. Stop propping up these fraudsters, do your homework. Nurture the roots.

Your favourite music platforms were set up by entitled rich kids, who were rejected from genuine grassroots communities for their questionable intentions. They then used their wealth to create advertising “platforms” that exploited artists, using them to create free content. ✌🏻

Dammn I miss Plastic People… where do u go now… to dance with the musical unknown. To float off into darkness and submit to the magic. Form, function and perception were an afterthought. Complete musical freedom, free from corporate and superficial interests. Sucka free.

So when things open back up again and clubbing becomes safe, can we please not just hand everything over to these industry cornballs. Their vibe less, opportunistic arses have been sat in the shadows, salivating. Lets hold up the creators, those that put in and give back.

Hey superstar headline DJ, now that things are opening up again and ‘work’ is starting to come in. How about you and your agent try to NOT suck every penny out of the events budget, and instead consider giving the opening acts a bit more £££.

Part of what i’ve loved about my years n years of clubbing n night life has been my connection to community and the escapism it provided from the Corporate world. We need to protect non-corporate spaces. The world is changing. Half these parties now r just marketing events.

Some of the most incredible musicians don’t make commercially viable art or create functional, industry friendly music. They dont have managment or promo teams so the music press aint gonna be covering them. So u better get out there and get exploring and supporting!

DJ things i’ve never done, that i’d love to do, that are long overdue….
- Play Panorama Bar
- Do a radio show for BBC
- Play in America, especially NYC (never been)
- Do a proper interview with a decent publication so i can set the record straight, and put my story out there

Also… if your not already familiar with the real kings and Queens of house music vocals…. Go look up Kenny Bobien, Barbara Tucker, India, Byron Stingily, Ultra Naté, Robert Owens, Roger Harris, Taana Gardner, Robin S, Cece Peniston… the list goes on

So many video's going round of DJ's going crazy on the buttons.. but in reality they are doing absolutely f¥k all. Its all an act, no musical or creative merit... and people are lapping it up? Is this what this culture has come too? Miming?

Dj’s can we stop with the headline show talk, when did that become a thing? Its silly. Like, if we all on the line up, we all got an important part to play. It’s not about creating some weird new hierarchy. I’m glad your coming up and getting your shine on. But dead that.

I really hope this means we get 5/6 house and garage remixes of every Soul/RnB artists single again. Thats one reason why i love Vinyl an CD as a format. Streaming killed that whole wave… shout out CJ Mackintosh, Roger Sanchez, Marvel & Eli, Wookie et al

Right lets get this sorted once and for all..... use AIFF’s not WAV’s. They are exactly the same except you can write/save more text info on an AIFF file. So when u use Rekord Box, CDJ’s, iTunes etc all artist/song info will display properly. Thanks n please

The music industry is going broke trying to sell real music from great artists. Technology has stripped away its power and meaning… and so the technology now dictates its ‘art’ to us… and we are left with a screaming contest for clowns. All for some quick cash.

RIP Stanley Cowell. Jazz pianist and co-founder of Strata East. If your familiar with Spike Lee’s ‘She’s Gotta Have It’ you’ll be familiar with Stanley Cowell. He worked closely with Spike’s father Bill Lee. Theres a rich n beautiful history to explore right there.

A lot of people see art/music purely as a buisness venture that they are somehow entitled to exploit without ever having contributed a thing. No passion, time, craft, skill or dedication. Just a love of themselves and their ego. And u know what, it seems to work for em 🤷🏻♂️

It hurts my soul to hear DJ’s I have looked up too my whole life say they now play records they ‘hate’ in order to get a crowd reaction. That’s so weird to me? I can’t even play records i think are just about ok, i gota absolutely love that shit with all my heart to play it out

If your passionate about something let the world know, share it! But don't get it confused ....being 'obbsessed' with something u discovered 15 minutes ago is not a passion. Dedicate your life to it, put it all on the line... thats passion.

1/3 > I see there’s a conversation going round about DJ’s not being paid to do livestreams. Just to put some context to it, (like many others) since i was a teen i spent a good 4/5 years holding down jobs, just so i could pay my subs to be on pirate radio.... yes WE had to pay!

3/3 > the problem is providing your content for wack platforms who only follow fashion and money. They aren’t in it for the right reasons. Why build up their buisness. Especially ones who’s foundations were built exploitating artists. We’re a long way up shits creek right now.

There are ZERO reasons why streaming platforms should be paying artists/labels anything lower than 50% of their income.
