Rouchos

Cold calls, cold beers, techno music. Sometimes, I am Leo Polenta. Pretending to be a normal person in between cigarette and coffee breaks. Endangered Canuck.

BREAKING: Nicosia street shit output up 340% in 2025.
No KPIs. No accountability. No pickup.
Just pure, unregulated, quarter-over-quarter growth.
The dogs have out-executed us all.

@4axioms I'm in the techno crowd so faster is my domain. That said, we are now in the red light chipmunk era of techno and I rather distaste that audience.

Xone:92/96 user starter pack:
4-band EQ because they don't know how to transition
3 external pedal chains just to get a basic delay
Linear faders longer than a CVS receipt
Convinced they are "live engineering" a set when they're just playing two techno tracks at 140BPM.

she says "I'm the DJ now."
the low end says otherwise.

[Rouchos @rouchosfyi]

she approached the mixer
with the quiet confidence
of a woman
who has opinions about headroom.
