a trans woman who wrongs somebody & becomes homeless in the aftermath is not a victory, EVER. That's cop mentality. Nobody gets justice when the consequence is systemic abuse. What in the living hell is "restorative" about that?

so much of the scene seems like they’re models/influencers first and djs second, can we get that the right way round again?

i think that promoters using generational, corporate, or VC money to throw club nights should have to put that shit on their flyers like a logos on NASCAR vehicles

ridiculous how promoters will co-opt the language of the underground and the diy to seem edgy while not taking on the risks to throw a party without benefiting capital. if your party is at an established legal venue it is NOT “location TBA” or “underground” & promoting it as such is so fucking corny

listening thru the hemlock back catalogue today and it’s rly striking how forward this music feels. HEK001 by untold was released in 2008(!) and still sounds fresher than a lot of tunes coming out now!!! the “post dubstep” era of UK dance music was truly ridiculously fertile

my least favorite dj trend is videos of playing 4 decks of (usually faux hardrgroove) tracks that sound exactly the same and doing random fader jacking

sometimes i get self-conscious about using presets/sample packs in my productions, but hearing a very popular track that’s literally just mostly the stock sequence off the behringer 303 put that in perspective real quick
