Raving in general is a cooked concept now. Everything is a brand. Every kind of unique experience in dance music can be (and has been!) commodified and put on for profit.
Going after Boiler Room when you get booked for Insomniac events is pretty ironic though lol https://t.co/RytNL5H7PS

Without understanding the history of the music you make, coming in and capitalising without studying properly is moving like colonisers.

My son said he wanted to "be a DJ" today which was scary but not as bad as if he said he wanted to be a "creator" or "maker"

being hungover on weekends is inefficient, you should wake up early on weekends and live your life. you should only drink heavily on weeknights so you can recover from your hangovers while on the clock at work

I'll be honest I would rather go to a Rebecca black boiler room than John summit

Music artists are really out here doing mental gymnastics to justify accepting bookings at venues under highly public boycotts . Hope it’s worth it💯
