Being a DJ is one of the coolest things you can do in 2022. I’d like to live in a world where everyone DJs during lunch break, after work, before bed. The anime series “D4DJ: First Mix” is an idyllic example of such a place. When you meet someone new and you’re talking about music and you say “this one hits when I spin it at the club” or “I have a really cool remix of that on my USB”, your hotness increases so much. My first DJ set was in high school at Utopia Studios in St. Louis, Missouri and I played so much festival dubstep to a crowd of unknowing prep school kids. Since then it’s been much more of the same.

I prefer to work while listening to music, but I get distracted if there are too many lyrics. As a result, I listen to a lot of electronic music, and SoundCloud (and sometimes Mixcloud) is the best platform to hear a DJ set. I made a few mixes during the pandemic, which you can listen to here. I’m not great at physically mixing records — CDJs are easy enough, but beatmatching on wax is a truly difficult craft I respect! — so I often sample a movie quote or YouTube deep cut to transition between tunes. If you want to hear real DJs, below is a collection of sets, mixes, and a couple radio shows I’ve been hitting as of late. Vibe-wise, they lean towards 303s, Drexciya-era electro, early UK dubstep/bass, and film score gems — in other words, downright slappers left and right.

i think its important to have one or two really embarrassing interests because it really nukes your ability to be a hater towards other people. bc then you think. well i cant judge, im obsessed with x thing and thats way worse. i love being a hater but sometimes you have to be a lover

i think colored pencils are underutilized in the world of cool and interesting art bc most people who draw with colored pencils just use them to render their photorealistic drawings of jack sparrow and iron man...but they are so wonderful when doing multimedia stuff! also ive been forcing myself to sketch with colored pencils because you cant really erase them so i have to be more purposeful with my lines. i have a tin of staedtler watercolor colored pencils that i use for 90% of what i draw in my sketchbook
