djing in clubs in the late 00s was so crazy... pioneer wasn't industry standard yet, rekordbox didn't exist, booths still had mostly 1200s even though ppl moved on from vinyl... it was this wild combo of serato, traktor, controllers, burned cd's and occasionally vinyl

DJs have cancelled all their gigs and basically forfeited their entire livelihoods to ensure the safety of others during this pandemic only for the chainsmokers to say fuck it and throw a huge party with tickets that started at $1250. Talk about a huge slap in the face.

it’s strange that music writers are told they shouldn’t write about their friends’ art. seems antithetical to what was happening with zines from decades past. shouldn’t we be writing about artists from local and/or super niche scenes we’re embedded in?
