If you’re a DJ who is able to play in-front of audiences who understand you & your music every week, playing the songs that you love in your heart….
Stop moaning about hotels, flights, tech, warm ups, billing, riders & all the other BS
Just be grateful

I count 6 black DJ’s in a list of the supposed top 100 in the world. We clearly have a very long way to go in this scene. The work that we do today in promoting young black artists will mean these lists may look a little more fair in the future.

Generally speaking, DJ’s ain’t playing funky. 2 hours of bait edits ain’t doing shit for us. Be confident, risk getting it wrong, MAKE PEOLPE DANCE!!

Big room culture makes DJ’s think they have to bang it out, last night reminded everyone that you can just play two hours of great, perfectly curated music.

Wake up to a viral vid of a DJ playing ‘In The Jungle’.
First up, I hate anyone getting abuse on here, be kind.
Second, the scene accelerating producers with one big record to the top of the bill is partly to blame, experienced DJ’s would know better.

I played in New York last year & this photo always takes me to a happy place. I love that people are not facing me, just dancing in their crews. I love how free & expressive everyone is. I also love that I can’t see any mobile phones.

March last year streaming became a very real part of every DJ’s life, even if you didn’t do it, you thought about it. 12 months on I LOVE what has happened, DJ’s really digging, selecting & playing from the heart. Pls can we carry this onto clubs 🙏🏽

If you are fortunate enough to have any kind of platform, use it wisely, spread as much positive energy as u can. Therefore, unlike many of my peers, I wont be turning into an online politician or social commentator. Ill be doing as I always have, raising vibrations via the music

House Of Yes is such a special club.

I’ve been toying with the idea of recording a new eclectic radio show. If you didn’t know, that was kinda my thing for around 7 years. There’s so much amazing new music out there, across all genres, that I need to get off my chest 🤔

I played at a festival the other week, a guy in the crowd caught my eye, he showed me a little box with a ring inside, gestured to me to cut the music so he could propose to his mrs 👀 Should I feel bad that I blanked him? Not during my set bruv!

I’m starting to think that maybe this ‘Disco’ resurgence was never really about Disco. Just the desperate need for good music/songs in clubs again. Now all the obvious edits of classic disco has been done, it allows DJs to be more comfortable with other dance genres within a set

I’m playing at Macrame in Italy tonight, I’ve come for dinner a few hours before my set and the DJ is playing the most beautiful almost Balearic set, setting the whole mood perfectly. It feels like this art is being lost and it’s such a shame.
