As a person who has been to several old skool and non-old skool events, do you think it's possible for a DJ to play a weekly old skool set for a Ugandan crowd for a year (52 weeks) and keep it fresh?
We need to have a meeting for DJs, event organizers and those who attend and agree on recording and posting. Some of you say mbu we waste your nice outfits when we don't post you, others say mbu we unsettle your dating lives and awaken your creditors.
@Count_Melvin If possible, one day do a set where you get on, get off, then get on again, there's something about that part 2, especially if you're collabing with he right person.
Going for a DJ gig knowing I'm going to do more than two hours is turning out to be more fun. I don't have to be under pressure to make the first 5 minutes epic and social media worthy. Soon I'll have the formula refined.
Last week, someone nearly didn't check in for #TimeTravelThursdays because it was drizzling. This time, I'm buying umbrellas, raincoats, gumboots and sending them out, August rain is no excuse.
Alcohol addiction in DJing is one of the least talked about struggles in our industry.
We’re surrounded by alcohol every single day. Every gig & every event. it’s even often handed to DJs as a gesture of appreciation. Over time, many of us start believing it gives us confidence, removes paranoia, and even makes us perform better behind the decks.
The hardest part about quitting isn’t making the decision to stop. It’s having to walk back into that same environment night after night where the temptation never leaves.
Unless you’ve lived it, it’s difficult to understand just how hard that battle can be.
While it's not the only way, I believe that to successfully quit, a DJ might have to take a break from the career and accept to start afresh with only those in their social circle that stuck around and understood that it's now a job, not a lifestyle.

I saw my long lost friend gyo
Of course everything is always about me. But that person in the back is the friend. @kordmode
And today I plan on seeing another lost long friend @Count_Melvin
Isn't my week great?
Getting older is really something. Tell me why I get slightly irritated when I see women doing the thumb and index finger thing. I be saying to myself, "Please don't say clack it" at least say "Clock it" like the Ugandan you are.
