Since mastering audio is a dark art, mixing audio must be voodoo

When I'm on tour, I love walking to the local supermarket to pick up fresh fruit and sandwiche fixings. Today, I took a 20-minute walk downhill to get there, but coming back uphill took about an hour.

My first time in Scotland was to play a gig at Pure. RIP Twitch

Social media these days is like when an annoying relative who always has bad news comes to visit and won’t leave

Music production 101: Artist = Hoarder Producer = Life Coach Mixer = Crime Scene Cleaner

I’ve been watching clips about showering from podcasters who claim they don’t wash their legs or feet, and it just seems to me that they put more effort into washing their cars than their bodies

I’m a laugher not a smiler 😹

Sometimes satire is far too believable

Techno music hinges on selecting studio gear based on brand reputation and potential rather than specifications. My gear choices are driven more by imagination than technical details.

I might be wrong, but in Purple Rain, Morris is the rival and The Kid is the villain.

The appeal of the TR-909 is that the snare sounds like a marching band, and the swing timing is like a choo-choo train

While self-producing music and juggling roles like engineer and programmer, I've realized the importance of guidance. Just as leaders like an Army general or president have superiors for direction, we all need a higher power to help us navigate our ideas and biases.

I have respect for stray dogs in Bali. They seem to know how not to get run over by cars and motorbikes

What’s happening in America reflects the insatiable desire for cancel culture and public shaming. It seems we're less focused on social justice and more on destroying others publicly. Social media gave us a sense of power, but now we see what true power really is.

The best thing about liquor is that tequila doesn't give a shit about jetlag

I may be wrong, but as a child, playing tag with the other neighborhood kids, it was clear that touching a tree or a building meant you were safe from being tagged. However, as an adult in today's Amerikkka, I’ve realized that no place feels truly secure anymore.

As a male DJ, I feel pressured to pose and smile in fan photos, so I feel bad for female DJs in the same situation. Whatever happened to “no means no”?

I’m sure I’m wrong, and I don’t have a problem being wrong. Still, from my observation, some people pick loving pets over even their children because pets can be controlled entirely and never grow into independent beings. Some parents are insulted when their children think for themselves

On the dance floor, what’s in control? The bassline or the kick drum?

On my flight, I’m sitting next to a 5 y/o UM who is messy AF. Crumbs everywhere! I hope this kid knows how to ask the flight attendants about using the toilet. He just sneezed. This is gonna be a looooong flight 🫤

Physical attraction is an essential start to romantic and sexual relationships, but ultimately, our sense of smell plays a crucial role. Even though humans try to deny our animal instincts, we rely on scent to influence important decisions, much like our pets do.

Today, Split airport has the quickest and most efficient check-in and security process that I have experienced. It was painless and effective.

Anyone who claims to know their body perfectly must be superhuman because I've known my body for a long time, and it still surprises me. 😹

Music sounds better to me when I listen in a dark room

I’m confused. When did domestic cars in the US become just as expensive to repair as imported cars?

Growing up, I was captivated by Andy Kaufman's genius! His uniqueness sparked a fire in me that still burns bright today. When I hit the decks for my DJ sets, I channel the spirits of Miles Davis, Andy Kaufman, and George Spiggott.

-A DJ set is about the music -A DJ show is about the spectacle

No matter how compelling the music from a DJ set is, if the crowd comes to see the DJ acting like a fool and he doesn’t, the dance floor will thin out.

The King James bible says Love thy Neighbor An American bible would say the opposite

The algorithm = Big Brother Influencers are slaves to the algorithm Cancel culture = Thought Police

The problem with American values is that everyone is viewed as competition or an enemy. The idea of coming together to create the best America is not part of our value system.

I woke up at 4:30 from a nightmare that Trump was grading my schoolwork. Now this mofo is Freddy Krueger!!!

I just woke up from a dream where I realized the difference between a "show" and a "set." In films, a "show" is like Superman, while a "set" is more substantial, like The Godfather. In the DJ world, a "show" is energetic and flashy, while a "set" focuses on delivering solid music.

I'm listening to Jimi Hendrix, and when he pressed down on the tremolo bar of his Strat, he had a way of making time seem to slow down by a fraction of a second.

When I’m in Ibiza, I try to stay out of the direct sun. The sun has become increasingly dangerous, and to me, spending too much time in it is like handling lit dynamite.

Mixing music on headphones sucks. I like listening to my music loud so I can walk anywhere in the room and catch the vibe.

Frankfurt airport is good at making situations that should be convenient completely inconvenient.

I'm always on the road, so I have to adapt to doing studio work while on the road. However, I've found that every mix I've done on headphones sucks, so I'm looking for a new approach. Suggestions welcome?

Driving on long trips gives me free time to think, and I realize when I vote, I choose the candidate who wants everyone to eat, not just the people in their party.

I love riding the train vs flying because I can board a train with 10 pieces of luggage without blinking an eye. I do that on a flight, and the result is a frenzy of extra charges

With all the dope sales on VSTs, I remind myself that they all do the same thing as the ones I own, and I don’t need them. If I spend my money wisely, I’ll upgrade the tools I already use.

I find that when I mix music on stage and in the studio, anything is possible. I’m not subtle; I work in extremes.

I wish all airport terminals had dedicated slow and fast lanes. It sucks to be in a rush for a flight while a group of windowshoppers stops in mid-stride, causing a traffic jam.

An ugly truth: if James Brown were alive today, he would likely be pro-Trump. Why do I think this? Because in the 70s, he was pro-Nixon. Regardless, JB's music remains funky!

Unpopular opinion: I won't go into debt to impress anyone with my restaurant tips.

It's hard to get excited about new music when 100 tracks I've heard this week sound suspiciously the same.

I won’t admit to many pet peeves, but I don’t like finally getting into a studio groove and then having to go on tour for 30 days.

At one time, knowing how to read was considered a badge of honor. Now, it seems that there are famous individuals who influence others by proudly declaring that they don’t read books. This makes me wonder if they actually know how to read at all.
