No club has all 5:
-CDJ2000s
-A modern 4 channel mixer with all channels working
-An owner that’s not a complete pile of shit
-security and bar staff who aren’t racist
-A regular crowd that isn’t burners

I keep seeing a lot of tweets about how djs are suppoosed to be popular social party people to be good. You’re still in high school I guess because a lot of the best DJs are introverted shy NERDS and playing music is their way of speaking to people in ways words sometimes can’t

This is the original, uncropped photo from the cover of vol 1. Pretty badly framed pic with a trash flash but cropped it worked for a cool cover
Since we all love trivia and for those new to the footwork world: Fun Fact:

I think I've told this story before, but Rashad once asked me what I'd do if I had money. I couldn't come up with a good answer, but he his all planned out. "There's this place overseas called Nando's, that shit is so fucking fire. If I had money I'd open one in Chicago"...

making fun of people over the equipment they use to make music/dj is just insecurity over the fact that if they had access to the same gear they might be just as good or better at using it as you

I can’t wait for the video of Ben Stiller, Madonna, Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Will Ferrell etc looking into the camera and saying “I am antifa” “I....am antifa” “I too, am antifa”

Queuing is gatekeeping, you’re literally not letting anybody hear the next track except you until you deem it appropriate to play

It's been a decade and not a day goes by that I don't think about my friend. It kills me every time this date comes up and I scrape my HD for photos, wishing I could make new ones. I will cherish the short time we spent together running around Chicago forever.
RIP Rashad ❤️❤️❤️

People arguing about jungle being founded by white people are a special breed of idiots, but I saw someone saying jazz was invented by white europeans on facebook the other day. What kind of drugs destroy your brain like that?

Ppl criticizing livestreams/djs trying to stay sane act like they’re actually lifting a finger to help people rn. Keep refreshing CNN and shut the fuck up

"It's basically like if Merzbow made a reggaeton record, but with saturated grime sounds and the halftime/doubletime changes in footwork. Oh also, I'm really into baile funk nowadays, and UK drill music. Basically it's deconstructed club, I just call it "club". Want a bump?"

Had a dream I stick a USB in some CDJs for the first time in almost a year, anxiously waiting for it to load so I can pick that perfect first track to set it off. Whole thing is just loaded with audiobooks 😂

Me and Rashad were blindly tryin to find this rave way, way out in the north burbs years ago. After hitting like 5 gas stations for help, this clerk let us print out mapquest directions in the back on their computer. It was too real. We still never found that shit though 😂😂😂

Haven’t been very public with this, but 2 years ago today I had my last beer ever. Hasn’t been the easiest thing to do but I am happy I did it. Enjoy your youth, turn up (safely), but if shit runs your life you might wanna check youself. 🙏 to those struggling with substances

The concept of being late on music is irrelevant because time doesn't exist, but I love discovering shit years after everyone shuts the fuck up about it and I can enjoy it in peace

DJ Rashad of course
You have the power to grant fifty more productive years to an artist of any discipline (writer, musician, painter, etc.) who died too young. Who do you pick?

Hey guys, my new EP is in 7/16ths time, in reverse, and every track starts on the 5. Not sure if any of you know what that means, but it's really complicated and makes the music way better. Also, It was a mental health exercise and if you criticize it I will cry until ppl buy it

People act so betrayed when their friends don’t come to their gigs. Personally, it makes me happy when people I love have found something better to do with their time than stand around in some smelly club. Maybe they’re even getting adequate sleep that night, how can you hate?

Let’s be real, it’s not like a lot of these promoters give a fuck if someone ODs at their party, or gets roofied/sexually assaulted. It’s no suprise they don’t give a fuck about anyone getting covid and spreading it to 1000 people

If you just give someone a track ID you are hindering their growth as a DJ and tastemaker. This is why I personally create a scavenger hunt for anybody who asks for one

Fake mess up a blend when some annoying person won’t leave you alone while you’re DJing. Like cut the music a sec and look at them in disgust, they’ll be embarrassed and will leave you alone all night guaranteed

Miss you so much man, these last five years have been rough but your memory and all the good times we had is what keeps me going. Few people have had as much influence on me as you, and I’m not gonna let anybody forget that. RIP Rashad, love you forever 🙏🙏🙏
