Hot take : When saying no can break your career In electronic music, the line between work and nightlife has never been clear. Deals happen backstage. Project discussions take place at 4 AM. You meet bookers on a dancefloor glowing with strobe. The night functions as a workspace as much as a social space. And […]
The dance floor is not a content factory The dance floor is not a content factory. It is, or should remain, one of the last places where the gaze stops judging, where you can simply be, without having to narrate yourself. Yet a new breed of actors has invaded the night: the so-called “nightlife content […]
While others stream for likes, Carl Cox plays for 7 hours When we say we’re watching a real DJ with long streams, this is exactly the kind of set we mean. Let’s skip the fact that it’s UNVRS (yes, we do love Ibiza, but… the hyper-clubs and their prices aren’t really our thing). We’re here […]

Perfectly styled influencers behind the decks, headphones around their necks, smiling at the crowd, with just enough confidence to look like they belong. The captions are filled with fire emojis and congratulatory comments: “She killed it”, “So proud”, […]
The Case for Gatekeeping: Saving the Dance Floor from Itself Electronic music is now worth nearly $13 billion. If money isn’t a dirty word, it does raise questions about how techno has changed in nature. It has become a spectacle to be consumed rather than a moment to be lived. Clubs look like shop windows, […]
Inclusivity is also about money Inclusivity has become one of the defining words of electronic music. It appears in lineups, manifestos, and press releases. We celebrate diverse programming, safer clubs, more mixed spaces. But there’s another form of exclusion that rarely makes it into the conversation, a quieter, more systemic one: money. Inclusivity doesn’t mean […]
