I grafted 10+ years in music, unpaid, worked in call centres hating life just to be where I am today. If there’s one thing I despise it’s these complaining DJs. Stfu, u get paid to travel the world & play tunes. Count y’a blessings, ppl out here busting serious balls to pay bills

The whole headsy dance music culture cringes me out so much. I love headsy music don’t get me wrong but music is about having fun!! If someone likes a cheesy edit, who the fuck are you to look down on em like ur the oracle 🤓 Some ppl just try too hard to be cool 🤦🏽‍♂️

Oneman remains the O.G (Original GOAT) of genre bending DJs imo🐐 - literally the first proper multi genre UK Bass DJ… don’t @ me saying Joy O or BUFO! Coz Oneman was doing it first 🚫🧢

These ‘cool’ & ‘headsy’ festivals booking spenny business techno DJs for them to come and play UKG, 2step and breaks is hilarious to me… Could just book some of the names responsible for bringing back these sounds in the first place 🤔 #todaysthought

Breaka said something to me that I’m going to remember for the rest of my days. He said we should not take all this DJ shit so seriously because at the end of the day we’re playing other peoples music to just a bunch of people swaying in front of a sound system. So true 😂😂

I just wanted to add the one thing about all these headsy circles. They preach inclusivity but they’re so brash, cold and rude that it’s the most exclusive circles in dance music. u were all neeks and that’s fine but don’t try and claim something now like you own it. CRINGE 😬
