Summer officially started on June 21, and temperatures are exceeding 100°F in areas that are usually just around 80°F. As these temperatures rise, global droughts worsen, while AI data centers are rapidly expanding across the U.S., consuming large amounts of freshwater. Make this make sense!

Growing up into the music business immersed in jazz musicians has taught me that even the most misunderstood and despised musicians have created some of the most beautiful music.

I'm glad to see this new trend of teachers, linguistics experts, and democratic political influencers gaining over 1,000,000 followers on IG. It seems that, during this current political climate, people are prioritizing information over entertainment.

Uncle Carl’s Pro Tip: I think of mixing studio monitors like telescopes. A higher-quality telescope shows more details of distant planets, just as better studio monitors reveal more audio detail.

Watching kung fu movies as a kid inspired me to be fearless when I play Techno music and stay true to the history of Techno.

It is delusional to think billionaire politicians care about affordability for all.

After 9/11, airlines aimed to train their flight crews in hand-to-hand combat. Now, discount airlines have turned their check-in staff into baggage bounty hunters. I wish I could drive everywhere. Modern air travel is too exhausting.

I’m on tour, and my laptop died. I hope this turns out to be a blessing in disguise.

What drives old punks to become right-wing conservatives? Was their rebellious past a lie?

Is it just me, or does the term 'idiot' seem to be used mainly for men?

Considering Kanye's recent controversies, I wonder if he included subliminal messages in his songs.

People who wear overstuffed backpacks while boarding airplanes are rude and obnoxious.

It seems we are currently in a “damned if you do, and damned if you don’t” phase in human history.

I consider any music app or VST needing online authorization unsuitable for professional use.

I'm on airplanes so much my name should be Howard Hughes.

“I don't read the script; the script reads me.” Best line ever! 😹

I truly respect people who aren't afraid to admit when they're wrong.

America is trapped in an abusive relationship

There's been a major increase in solicitation calls to my phone since DOGE hijacked all of our American sensitive data.

Traditional musicians dedicate their entire lives to mastering their instruments; perhaps someday, DJs will enjoy the same level of mastery.

I know it's hard, but think positive.

Life is a game filled with egos and endless cycles of falling in and out of love.

The way shit is these days, Americans might become the next people seeking asylum.

A little-known fact about DJing is that a hot set from the night before doesn't always work a second time.

These days, I intentionally avoid buying AI-generated music and instead seek out forgotten classics from before the rise of this AI industrial complex.

The fallout from the Epstein files highlights why DJs and performers should be cautious about who we take photos with.

Just because money is green, do people truly believe earning billions can help save the planet?

Tech Bros are so preoccupied with turning their favorite sci-fi movies into reality that they're starting to resemble real-life Bond villains in the process.

This morning, I’m listening to works by La Monte Young and Terry Riley. What do you think of these composers?

Is it just me, or did tech bros seem to prioritize their plan to go to Mars over saving Earth's environment?

Searching for the perfect kick drum sample feels like an endless quest for utopia.

That tan suit-wearing president isnt looking so evil right now

Social media can undermine the progress achieved by the civil rights movement and MLK Jr. in the US. While everyone has a voice, the voices of chaos tend to be the loudest.

When switching from a hotel to an Airbnb, I like to take a hot shower beforehand because the quality of the Airbnb shower may be sketchy

Imagine having such wealth for so many years that you start believing you're God, without recognizing you’re actions are like Lucifer.

It’s dawned on me that some of the most notorious serial killers in the USA have actually participated in presidential elections

We had a good run in the USA. Money was cheap, and interest rates were low. I guess all good things must come to an end.

Every DJ and sound engineer has to make a crucial choice at every show: wear earplugs now or use hearing aids later.

After decades of watching sci-fi movies about a dystopian future, our reality is that we are living in a dystopia now

I spoke with my bank today, and my interest rate increased from 18% to 23% due to the rising cost of living. I have no late payments,etc. This reflects the current US economy: cheap gas but higher costs everywhere else. 23% resembles what a loan shark will charge before breaking someone's knees

In this world of AI-generated music, I believe that in the future, music crafted by musicians with their hands will be the equivalent of a handcrafted, one-of-a-kind Rolls-Royce.

I feel like we’re on a sinking ship, similar to the Titanic. What should I do? Should I keep playing with the band as the ship sinks, or should I grab the first life raft and get to safety?

My career has been a series of hits and misses, and if I had the choice, I wouldn't change a damn thing.

Delta Airlines now plays music during boarding that sounds like the kind of waiting room music I imagine you'd hear in purgatory.

As a kid, I always disliked school, but given the current world situation, I think I might need to go back to school to understand the world we live in.

Happy New Year! May your 2026 include at least one perfect DJ set

When I DJ, I turn up the booth monitor volume not only to boost the vibe and hear the direct sound clearly but also to avoid hearing room reflections. Last night, the venue had concrete walls, and the hi-hat reflections were louder than the music.

I’ve hit a brickwall when selecting new music. I don't want Ai-generated tracks in my DJ sets because I believe they disrespect the dancefloor by tampering with our emotions. I prefer the energy that comes from tracks created by human hands and minds.

Is it me, or has integrity died? Our value system has been corrupted, and we see it deteriorating with each news report and social media post. What’s next?

Watching the Martin Scorsese documentary made me realize that I have modeled my career more after auteur film directors than after any DJ or musician.
