I'm not seeing this trending in EDM Twitter. Has no one realized yet that it was someone from our community that was hard targeted today specifically? That the girl whose body was horrifically paraded around today and posted everywhere today was visiting from Germany at a music fest.
I've had some difficulty finding what fest was actively happening there, but it's definitely clear that she and others were part of the dance music community
We may have lost others in our today too. Those of you who were attending and performing there this weekend. I hope that you are safe tonight.
I hope our community has the heart to reach out and show love + support to this girl's family in the midst of this tragedy.
The idea of burning man was so much better when there was no photos / social media / internet.
It was also a lot more peaceful on my Instagram feed for 10 days.
The Silent Pandemics
1. We don't eat real food.
2. We don't exercise.
3. We sit at desks and then come home to sit on couches.
4. We numb our emotions with food, drugs & alcohol, which makes the emotions come back even worse.
5. We decided that the sun is dangerous for our health.
6. We don't allow ourselves to be bored anymore.
7. We created a pill for every ill.
8. We've decided that being entertained is more important than living.
9. We have a constant connection to our devices but no connection to ourselves & our communities.
10. We eat too many calories but not enough nutrition.
11. Testosterone levels are declining and some people think that’s a good thing.
12. Some scientists promote sugary cereals to be more nutritious than eggs and beef.
13. We believe our feelings are facts.
14. We want to cancel others we disagree with and people who hang around others we disagree with.
15. Pharma companies are second to tech companies in marketing spend to consumers.
16. We trade our sleep for more social media time, which messes up our sleep even more.
17. We are mentally unhealthy because we're physically unhealthy.
18. There's a health food section in the grocery store when it should be where the whole foods are.
19. We get exposed to the extremes on social media and think they are the reality we live in.
20. People watch mainstream news to keep us informed when they’re incentivized to keep us angry & scared.
21. We put focus too much on money & status and not enough on health, family & community.
I don't have all the answers but I believe that we can live better lives by doing the opposite of this list.
Take action. Be proactive.
Touring as a DJ in your 30s…
Friend who lives in another city: please come here please come here please come here
*finally get booked in their city*
Friend: oh sorry I can’t make it, I’m just really exhausted after the farmers market and my neighbor’s dog’s birthday
The difference between success and failure in the music industry all boils down to your ability to endure the brutal ride it takes to get to the end goal.
This path is a rollercoaster of ups and downs, but as long as you’re making subtle progress, you’re on the right direction
I'm so burnt out of the music industry right now and I think that's pretty universal for many artists.
It's really hard to self-value anything you're creating when your opinion doesn't matter as much as an algorithm does.
