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.

Grocery stores are asking for tips now 🥸

At a Detroit Metro airport, it sounds like a Salsoul Christmas medley is being played over the intercom system. This, on top of Delta Airlines playing Muzak before takeoff, is a very interesting musical timeline we’re living in

DJ Life 101: When the airline begins sending a flood of text messages about gate changes, the flight is likely delayed or canceled.

Life's too short for too many VSTs. Life isn't long enough for too much hardware.

Note to self: never buy VSTs after drinking copious amounts of wine.

It makes me sad to realize that real-world life and online life will never sync. One has to win, and I pray it's the real world.

Finding a good Cafe Longo outside of Italy is a pain in the ass. Despite the widespread popularity of coffee culture, I’m surprised that finding authentic espresso remains frustrating.

I enjoy engaging in healthy discussions about practices and processes with like-minded individuals, whether we agree or not. I find it inspiring because everyone brings a different approach, which excites me to try new things myself.

I plan to start creating flow charts again, as I believe it’s a skill that has been ignored in modern electronic music composition.

I'm surprised by how many DJs are daredevils in their lives but scared to take musical risks in their DJ sets.

This might be the best response in a gear argument that I’ve seen. I love that he says he’s not gonna believe “a stranger in the comments.”

We have reached a point in clubbing history where complex beats are frowned upon on the dance floor. It seems that the simpler the beat, the better. I can only compare it to never removing the training wheels after learning to ride a bicycle.

I love this kung fu movie quote: “A true master fears no challenge, only stagnation.”

Touring can be very glamorous to people who aspire to be DJs, and I have a lot of fun, but I take simple precautions to avoid slipping and falling in the shower or drowning in the bathtub. This is where having a wife comes in handy. She’s always gonna come looking for me 😄

Let’s go back to old school, to a time when not every word spoken was recorded, and not every move made by humans was mapped by GPS.

Reflecting on the past may be one of the most fundamentally human ways of communicating.

Another little discussed fact of touring is that the quality of the toilet paper often varies between hotels and airports. In many cases, the quality is terrible.

How does a DJ tell you he hates jazz without saying he “hates jazz”? By dissing live improvisation

When Brother Amp Fiddler was alive and whenever we met to talk about new gear, we always discussed 'The Next.' 'The Next' refers to the latest equipment that will elevate our skills to the next level. I miss those conversations.

People freely sharing their information on social media makes it harder for me as a traveler to refuse to answer questions at airport security because agents are used to freely sharing their own personal info online, so they don’t understand why anyone would refuse.

I used to dislike newspapers because they focused on bad news. Somehow, I've come to accept the bad news on my social media feed, as there’s a load of amusing posts that make me laugh, which is a welcome break from the usual trash content on my timeline.

Growing up in Detroit, I fully understand car culture, but I will never understand how people take better care of their cars than their own teeth!

The greatest thing about discovering new music is that it doesn't matter how old it is when I find it; on first listen, it sounds new to me.

I’ve reached the point in life where I prefer wearing suspenders to hold up my trousers instead of a belt. 😀

Shock jocks like Howard Stern screwed America and left us with podcasters attempting to be like him

Last night in Brooklyn, @carlcraignet.bsky.social played “Desire” and dropped an important track featuring Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Today, we’re celebrating the theatrical release of “Desire: the Carl Craig Story” at @thespacecinema and @ucicinemasit in Italy! #documentary

Monday always comes like clockwork. There's no escaping it. Today, Monday, is here, and I wish I could take a pill that would knock me out until Tuesday night.
