Before the media get this and attempts to assassinate Victoria’s character but she was TARGETED last night during a protest in Memphis. Listen to the audio of the police saying “SOMEBODY GET THE GIRL IN THE GREY HOODIE” this is sickening. This is our police system. PLEASE SHARE
My unpopular take: most NYC DJs/producers are extremely mid but get saved by their proximity to opportunities, designers, clubs, promoters, and money. Fight me if you got some to say about it.
Tired of waking up and seeing male DJs and producers being called out for their gross behaviors. Feels like everyday the scene is unraveling more and more. It’s great cuz fuck them. Just sick of having to go in rekordbox and delete chunks of music cuz they can’t be decent humans

still think the coolest thing that has happened to me in my music career was Larry Heard coming to one of the residency nights I had with bodywerk and then inviting me over to his house to play records and write tracks. This man gave me copies of --
Guys I’m really about to give a full lecture on my music and influences at Rhodes College next month for their MUSC 105 DJ Cultures & Dance Environments course. Was personally selected by the Ass. Professor of Music for this. Not bad for a college dropout 🥹
NEWS FLASH: STOP TELLING ME I MAKE WIERD WHITE PEOPLE MUSIC. TECHNO AND HOUSE MUSIC WERE BOTH CREATED BY QUEER BLACK PEOPLE IN AMERICA. IT IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY. I ONLY HAVE THIS PROBLEM IN THE SOUTH. IF YALL STILL AINT UP TO SPEED IN 2020, IDK WHAT TO TELL U.

Just dropped the best EP of my career and I’m having trouble getting people to write about it.
But as SOON as I get on, everyone is gonna try and ride my dick. Music journalism is 10000% a big joke. Always and forever will be about who you know, not what you do.
House music was created by black gay men. The club was a space for them to go and be themselves with the freedom of exploring sound and dance without persecution. In case you forgot~
his albums on CDs, a flashdrive LOADED UP with edits and club ready tracks, and like two full boxes of records. some of which were his that he used to spin with. Signed copies of some Kerri Chandler records and hella merch from his alleviated label. so affirming
On a lighter note, I do wanna say how grateful I am to be able to pursue music full time. My car broke down and I was able to get in fixed in 24hrs with nothing but music money. That shit hurt ngl but it felt rewarding knowing I didn’t skip a beat and went back to making music
I’m from the Deep South. We ain’t got it like that so we always have to either push the literal boundaries of the genres we like or leave our homes to prosper.

Write about your own art til others start believing in it.
Throw and promote your own parties til these white people think they can profit off you
Believe in your music til the folks that think they better than you start seeing you as competition
Do this shit til they know
I really have to remember that the folks I play music to aren’t DJs or producers so the tracks I wanna play but are afraid that they’ve heard before are just in my head
went to a private party over the weekend that
@rmzi
was spinning at. This guy comes up to me and says he has to thank me. Apparently he met his now gf at my MESH:/FOCUS event in Memphis and they've been together ever since. changing my name to DJ LUV3RBO1 now <3

QEMIST LIVE AT THE GOOD ROOM
8 TRACKS FULL OF ACID.
live, in-concert album of extended hardware acid performed at The Good Room (Bad Room) in Brooklyn, NY in May 2023. one-take recording. cool grooves and stylish clipping (it was live).
Let me be clear: I am not represented by any agency. I reach out to 3-4 agencies via email, text, and social media every two weeks with my EPK and info. Crickets as usual.
Cannot wait for the day I explode with an undeniable banger project cuz it’s going to happen. Bookmark this
I am a producer before I’m a DJ. I can and do DJ but it’s a skill rather than my main focus. I love making music and DJing was a counterpart of being able to showcase the music I wrote.
Toured over 16 cities with no label or agency, met and played with some of the best in the underground, ran 40+ radio broadcasts single-handedly, featured in an upcoming documentary about the amen break, paid off my car and bought a new computer with money made from tour. Proud
It’s
