Day 1. @nozstock #nozstock

Being an artist at our @datatransmission stage at @Nozstock #nozstock

Just created my first playlist for @datatransmission on @choonhq_ for those not in the know - Choon is a new music streaming site working on the @blockchainofficial technology. . Artists earn for each stream in ‘notes’ which is the currency they’ve created. . Really exciting platform, the blockchain platform seems mighty powerful and for me a little unknown, I’m powering down on the research at the moment to get more knowledge for sure. . Big up @garethemery and the team for this innovative use of blockchain. . Head to @datatransmission highlights to check out our playlist - new music from @laurenlanequestionmark @jaytripwire @guyjdiary @elliotadamson @nihilyoung

The @imscollege in #malta🇲🇹 has announced their dates for 2018 - on 14th & 15th September. IMS College – Malta brings together the next generation of bright industry minds for an intensive, 360-degree, two-day learning experience led by some of the world’s most renowned DJ talent and industry thought leaders including talks from Dubfire, elrow and Ultra Records. It’s a great space for learning and I’m excited to be helping them out this year.

I saw this image again recently and been thinking about it a load. I thought let’s discuss it... Firstly in 1990 every man, women, dog, cat didn’t want to be a fucking dj... There was less noise about a release or DJs Those that were DJs were the the guys and girls with the kit, Carl cox started his career as the guy with the sound system. You were booked in your local area and you weren’t really fighting against DJs from the rest of country let alone the world. In 1990 kids didn’t see DJs everywhere online and want to be DJs - we was to busy being outside playing cos that’s what happened the Internet didn’t exist and video games were in there infancy. In fact you’d probably spend 30mins loading one whilst you played outside. So you weren’t fighting against the rest of the world, you were still advertising by flyers and the oldest social network - word of fucking mouth. They were still managing their bookings so that’s wrong - so no difference now. Flash forward to the now point - yes you have to do all that shit, dickhead, yes you have to run your socials, build a website, manage bookings as well as dj. That’s what’s involved now if you want to make this as your career - back then they didn’t know about careers they just innovated so you can have careers now. Those guys made is possible for you to have a life of playing gigs all over the world Talking about the world, yes you are now fighting for gigs against DJs from every country in the world wanting to put the graft in, in all these areas - they fucking want it. And finally the big one for me, who gives a fuck what everyone else has to do. Focus on your own shit - do worry that every other dj is moaning about doing the social media thing... good for them get your head down / make decent records / build a following / work out a decent content plan for yourself / hustle every promoter on messenger weekly with your latest thing - release. Get your mate to make videos of you playing so they can be your free entry person to the party. So stop whinging about what you have to do now, cos you can bet in another 30 years it’s gonna be even harder to reach the top as there will be even more
