The human obsession with collecting and identifying IDs taps into the same animalistic spirit that drove the popularity of Pokemon, Charles Darwin to explore the Galapagos islands, etc. IDing is life, IDing is ♾️
I had to miss Solomun, but from what i saw on twitter/ig, it feels like events like this have huge potential to seismic shift the going-out scene in NYC.
Id guess the % of inexperienced/normies who went to this with friends and want to do this again vs. shitty clubs/bars is high
Final Coachella stats 🌵:
- 76k steps
- 2lbs of dust and poppers inhaled
- didn’t meet Grimes 😕
- 35 tracks ID’d to members of the crowd who didn’t ask me
- 6 fan clacks (ironically?)
- souls converted to ⛪️ of KDV: lost count
- didn’t shit pants ✅
- ♾️ beautiful memories
Talking to a girl backstage at the club in Brazil. “So how often do you come here?” “This is my first time, and idk anything about DJs or electronic music”
There goes my entire game.
Hawk Tuah recently went viral for her rant about properly distinguishing between k*tamine isomers.
“It’s astonishing that people are not optimizing for S-isomers when raving. My homie got a R-isomer heavy bag last week and K-holed during the opener, we had to uber her home.”

The stage presence, party control, IDs (incl Metro which went on to set the world on fire) blew my mind.
And now we are here.
There’s some chode who follows me just to hate comment every time i post a video / reel and i just checked his bio and there’s a link to a blog article they wrote called “Why melodic techno is bad dance music” 🤣🤣🤣

And even further, sure there are some people who say “oh that was fun” and go back to their lives. But a bunch of people must ask “how can i do more of this?” Welcome my brothers & sisters in christ, we do this every weekend 😈
Outside of melodic techno / house my only remaining non-electronic obsession is
@theweeknd
. Hearing the same intro trill from I Was Never There in Gesaffelstein’s set last weekend sent me to the moon
Insane. Upping the bounty $ on this one.
Top 3 songs from that B2B:
1. Skip - steve angello (moonphazes & rychdsygnr remix)
2. “Tied Up” - ID
3. Phantom pt II - Justice (avantgarde remix)
Last thought on this topic: funny to think 3 yrs ago i was nervous to hit Mirage for the 1st time. The scene can be super intimidating. Up to us to be guides and show friends the light (w/o being overbearing). Drugs+shows is a balancing act and requires practice to make safe/fun

Got home from brooklyn last night at 6am, had a nice facetime with my friend while she was waking up to go to Space at 7am. Long distance friendships are easy 🤝
