I’m gonna be real with ya’ll. Open format just ain’t it anymore. These kids don’t know how to function @ the club anymore.
I’m a firm believer that curating a vibe is becoming a lost art among the masses. Shouts to the underground curators for continuing the legacy.
Unless you’ve been asked already before, stop asking to DJ parties you’ve never been to. Come as a patron first. And even after that, don’t ask immediately.
I’m a firm believer in dipping out when the vibe is off. If the people around you are constantly miserable, it makes no sense for me to stick around and be miserable with ya’ll too.
At a certain point, you realize the only thing you need to do is make the “big jump” as a DJ into music full time. It’s simply a matter of setting yourself up for success beforehand. Do the work, pay off any debts, and do the damn thing.
