Hi Chicago Friends :)
Opening for Gennaro and Djibouti this Saturday at SERUM.
Gennaro needs 0 introduction, if you don’t know Djibouti you should get familiar.
Excited to dance with y’all!

a lot of y’all are using 82-0. com to try and go 82-0, I am using it as a generator to memorize obscure players from different eras so @moorhaus_ can’t guard me… we are not the same.

@moorhaus_ You can have all the unreleased tunes in the world… it will not make you a good selector.
Great selectors are supremely confident in their taste because their selections are a reflection of who they are.
DJ to be yourself not to be a reflection of someone else!
paying for unreleased music groups or digging pools or usb’s or anything of the like is batshit insane
get in the mines, dig for music, train your ear, stop being fed and told what music is good and find your own taste - algorithmic selection will ruin every form of art
@blowchakk it’s real simple
house/techno = developed out of underground culture by marginalized people out of resistance to industrialization & commercialization of music
EDM = the commercialization of hyping electronic music for profit, the antithesis of what birthed house/techno
@terry_terrist@TerryTwoBags Missing - Todd Terry Club Mix is also a great example of a huge tune at 123.5 BPM, big vocals super emotional, big breakdown and buildup again an awesome tune but way too big for a warmup
@terry_terrist@TerryTwoBags Lola’s Theme (Tripolism Remix) - incredible tune but huge vocals, leads and strings - way too big for a warmup even though it’s at 124 bpm
@TokenOfTheMonth again impossible to convey my entire stance in 140 characters I could talk about this for hours
100% agree on the forcible merging, that doesn’t mean they cannot be unmerged or at least maintain the communities that have not been merged into the consumerism umbrella term
@TokenOfTheMonth In my opinion every genre’s cultures and histories and standards should be celebrated individually and not be lumped into one big umbrella like people often do with house, techno and bass music into EDM and which was the case in the argument I was referencing.
@TokenOfTheMonth Obviously I can’t express that nuances of my entire opinion in 140 characters that’s why im explaining in further depth now
The majority of genres in dance music has been or has attempted to be colonized especially house and techno
@TokenOfTheMonth it really has nothing to do with being a purist and everything to do with letting each culture develop, maintain and communicate their individual cultures
@TokenOfTheMonth I’m kinda confused what you are arguing, the point of my stance is that every scene has its own standards, cultures and histories those should all be individually celebrated rather than trying to lump all of these genres into one commercialized umbrella
