over the weekend! 🤯 Should we drop the lyric video as well?! 😉
Keep falling in love with Indonesia 🇮🇩
After Ubud, we’re off to Jakarta this weekend and then Singapore.
Getting my stomach ready for some epic food! 🙃
No words.
The one person who inspired me to start producing in the first place.
The movement you created is timeless and your legacy will live forever.
Rest In Peace, Tim. 🖤
If I was Sam Feldt and Monsta X's marketing and merch team, I would release "Late Night Heels" that come with a photocard and have the autograph inside of the shoe
Just saying 👀

Female DJs have been breaking barriers for years.
But now, in 2023, they're straight-up dominating.
This is a beautiful thing.
Who's your favorite female DJ right now?
UK! 🇬🇧 They say that the best things in life are worth the wait, but I'm not sure if they were talking about DJs. Either way, I'm finally back in London at Ministry of Sound on April 14th.
When it comes down to it, being a DJ is like any other job.
You have to work hard, maintain relationships, and push yourself to keep up with current trends.
To conclude: I'm thankful to be able to do what I love, but there's a darker side most people don't see.

! We loved your song so much that we reacted to it for a good hour on our YT channel. Who does that?! Us apparently because you put out a great master. Hello from 🇺🇸 btw.
1) It's lonely.
Not just on tour, but also when you get home.
This is where your friends/family are supposed to be.
But they don't fit in the lifestyle.
Everyone is out of sync: birthdays, weekends, and work schedules.
2) It's expensive.
It may look like loads of money coming in but it also costs a considerable amount to maintain and grow that name.
→ Flights
→ Hotels
→ Tour staff
→ Gear
→ Marketing
→ Management
→ Studio fees
5) It's a grind.
You're only as relevant as your last performance.
So you have to keep pushing.
Producers are in the studio nonstop, and they feel most comfortable there.
DJs are in the club nonstop, and they feel the most comfortable there.
Imagine being both.
7) It's not what it seems.
What you see:
→ Traveling
→ Performances
What you don't see;
→ Studio
→ Networking
→ Marketing
→ Prep work
→ Management
→ Meetings
Don't let the 1% of the time lead you to believe that you have a life filled only with excitement.
3) It's exhausting.
Most people don't stay up for five days straight.
Traveling from time zone to time zone, often with red-eye flights, causes major fatigue.
Then you arrive, perform, and greet fans.
You have to bring energy every night, just like the night before.
4) It's unhealthy.
Late nights, long flights, alcohol, and a lack of home-cooked meals catch up quickly.
Physical and mental health deteriorate if there is no conscious effort to maintain them.
Dear young producer/DJ,
The industry is not easy. It's often unfair.
But if you're passionate, dedicated,
and willing to put in the work,
you'll make it.
Signed,
Someone who's been there
6) It's competitive.
Newcomers are always trying to take your place.
And the second you become a has-been, it's all downhill from there.
But as long as social media and music exist, there will always be fresh talent.
Heartfeldt Pool Party Miami = BACK during music week! 🏊♀️
After many sold-out editions, we are bringing it to
@slsbrickell
on the 23rd of March.
Grab your tix before it’s too late:
Airplay? Streams? Album sales?
Nah.
My biggest success in music? It's the tears, smiles, and stories from fans worldwide saying my songs were a beacon in their darkest hours.
Your joy, your healing - that's why I do what I do.
Not charts or figures. You.
