seeing four tet rise to superstardom at 45 is so inspiring. the music industry tends to be obsessed w youth & it’s easy to feel like if ur not at a certain point by a certain age that ur failing or running out of time. The truth is the older u get, the better u become at ur craft

@proetrie I’m in a monogamous committed relationship and I see absolutely nothing wrong with this? She’s just being efficient. Seems she didn’t like any of the guys so now she doesn’t have to waste their time more or hers. What’s the issue?? This hurts no one.

Every opener DJ should play ambient elevator music, get on the mic to apologize for being there, then bow down and kiss the feet of the headliner. If they go over 120bpm we put them in a pit of other openers where they fight to the death, winner gets 2 drink tickets.

If you avoid all politics as an electronic artist you’re a poser bc electronic music is inherently anti-establishment and to remain silent is to be complicit in oppression. If you’re afraid of losing fans for a stance on roe, I’m disgusted you’d want to keep fans who hate women.

@oogamusic I also keep a decibel meter on my phone. If it’s 100db even with ear plugs it can cause damage. Over 100db it’s time to move somewhere quieter. I have 2 pairs of plugs one for 18db reduction and one for 30db. Most ppl I know have tinnitus, I don’t 😎

great now you’ll get 0.0002 cents per stream instead of ppl buying the track to play out. and it’ll probably lag and buffer and be poorer sound quality. cool. guarantee this is just a scheme to give a larger percentage of revenue to beatport instead of artists.

it actually technically weighs less when you add stuff. it uses binary code to encode data and a binary 0 is made by charging the float gate and a binary 1 is made by removing that charge. so once you add data it has a lot more 1’s and therefore fewer charges/electrons.
