@elonmusk Man, IF this was a reference to my track, THANK YOU! If not, I’ll just get my coat. 🤪 Either way, let me know if there’s anything I can do for you! 🌪.

Ottamatta selkeää kantaa rasismia vastaan hallinnon korkeimmilla tasoilla oikeutetaan vihaa ja edistetään sitä. En halua rakkaan Suomeni olevan edustettuna tällä tavalla. Se on raivostuttavaa, surullista ja noloa. @petteriorpo @kokoomus.

Darude 'Sandstorm' turns 25 today 🎉 . "It went viral, before viral was a thing", @darudevil reflects when asked about the legacy of 'Sandstorm'; from its early chart success and Top of the Pops glory, to its seemingly never-ending social media attention and cult following of

@awonderland Yeah but if you’d care about your fans you’d just give birth while DJing, just time your contractions to a convenient time, you know, put on a little longer track if you need to. I mean, c’mon, how selfish can you be, denying your deserving fans’ experience???.

@johnsummit I DO get it, but let that shit go, 1) 95% of the people don’t hear it 2) the 4% who hear don’t care 3) the 1% of the freaking whiners don’t deserve you time. Also, to be pro is not to be perfect, but when you f up, you don’t react & crumble, but you go on like nothing happened ;).

@Mat_Zo Mine: Made a track that sort of serendipitously became a hit, not even knowing it could/would be signed to a label and released one day; been called cheese & commercial sellout since 😂 🤷🏻♂️.

@IAMKarraMusic The community I got to know in mid 90’s was a tolerant PLUR one. Techno, house, jungle & d��n’b, whatever at the same party, even in the same room, and everybody was happy. Now: “My <sub-sub-sub genre> is better than yours, die!”. Also: Success creates hate in dumb people.

Hearing @paendamusic‘s ‘Limits’ just once or twice I felt compelled to remix it. Such personal lyrics – her vocals are delicate in some parts, so strong in others. I'm so honoured to have been allowed to do my own thing with it. Let me know what you think!

@garethemery It’s unfuckingreal, yet 1000% believable. SO many times I’ve heard a version of this myself or from a close colleague, be it from A&Rs, managers or PR people. I know money on the business people’s side is a reality, it is on the artists’ side, too, but COME THE F*** ON! 🤯🤦🏻♂️.

@PetaistoHelena @kajakallas Ennen kuin reagoin, niin varmistelen, että tarkoituksella tuot tässä Marinin selfien esiin ja koet sen jotenkin negatiivisena ja että sinulla on suoraa tietoa, että selfie on ainut meriitti tuolta reissulta, vaiko onko kyse vain kielen epäonnisesta käytöstä ja ymmärrän väärin? 🤦🏻♂️.

@GetterOfficial Dude, we don’t know each other, but we both know the trials and tribulations of this art/hobby-come-work life sort of thing. They didn’t win, you’re the brave one in the first place, to not settle to catering for an already gained crowd, but wanting more. Rest. Come back. ❤️💪🏻🎹.

@raye @MrTomGray Does your contract not have an “option refusal clause” which would let you get out of the deal? Like you deliver an album, within 10 days (or whatever agreed) label has to either commit to release it within certain time (like 3 months, 6 etc), or let you out. 1/.

This came up in a chat with the Goat Lord @deadmau5 & a bunch of other great peeps on Clubhouse and I need to get it off my chest: 😉😂🌪️. What's the difference between a 'Darude' fan and 'Darude - Sandstorm' fan?. 'Darude - Sandstorm' fan doesn't know what's in the suitcase.

@PaiviRasanen Hahaha! 🤣 Onneksi kristinuskon nimissä ja oikeuttamana ei ole tehty ikinä yhtään pahuutta, esimerkiksi ristiretkiä (=aseellista pakkokäännyttämistä, ei suinkaan vapaaehtoista sanan omaksumista, Suomessakin) tai vaikkapa sateenkaariväestön lähettämistä helvetin tuliin. 🤦🏻♂️.
