The idea that a DJ who's never made a tune in their life should make more money than a wildly popular producer who doesn't want to play shows is just an insult to my basic sense of how the world should work.

FAO: Students. HMU about all of my gigs you want to come along to. Ticket prices to some clubs and festivals are a bit expensive for a lot of you guys so if you want to come along and see me play, then I'll sort you out with my guestlist 👍 Love, Scuba 🖤

First time I heard Love by Luke Slater was at a club called Bagleys in London. When Luke asked me to remix the track I instantly thought of the club, the mix I came up with is kind of a tribute to that venue. Thanks for the opportunity to reimagine a classic, hope you like it x

Beyond gutted to hear about Weatherall. One of my most memorable early touring experiences was taking a flight back from Croatia with him and receiving a two hour lecture on twentieth century military history. A legend in the fullest sense of the word.

The best thing you can do as a producer is listen to totally different styles of music to what you want to make, figure out the cool shit they're doing, and then apply it to your own stuff. Stop obsessing about best how to compress an 808, in other words.

Applaud @fabriclondon for going No Phones. Honestly any venue that presents itself as repping “underground” music should have this policy. Counter culture means going against the prevailing culture. The alternative is inherently mainstream.

We should all delete our fbook and instagram accounts. Probably the single most impactful political step we can take at this point. It's such an integral part of the music infrastructure that it's hard to see anyone doing it. I'm trying to figure out how to mitigate doing so.

What the Joe Rogan deal most vividly illustrates is how unimportant music is in popular culture today. And this is largely because, as a whole, musicians are more interested in enriching themselves than leveraging their influence for social and economic change.
