@DJROBSWIFT Spoken so true Rob. So essentially she CAN'T mix. Shame DJs like this have been getting booked for years. Hopefully this will bring back real DJs who can HEAR when a mix is off and can compensate with skill.

Grimes tried her best to scam a Coachella audience into believing she can DJ but when “all of the tracks” on the playlist she outsourced read “double the tempo” the DJ gods exposed her for being the DJ fraud she is! So, her only alternative was to fix her 👓 and grab the 🎤 and admit she was “trying to do the math,” on the fly with the song tempos but they were “unmixable”. A true musician knows DJing is an art, not a science. The solution to her Rekordbox snafu was simple, mix the damn songs using her God given sense of hearing. I’m telling you this has never happened to me, even in inclement weather such as rain, b/c when I DJ I don’t use my gear as a proxy through which I funnel the tasks involved. On the contrary, my skills help me navigate my sets.

The state of DJing will continue to worsen b/c Gen Z DJs value aesthetic over authenticity. Gen Z prioritize what their social media feed looks like over how their DJ sets sound like. Forget 10,000 hours of practice. The only numbers Gen Z obsess over are followers, likes and dollar signs. Shit wasn’t like this when I was coming up. I’d spend 6-8 hours straight training, during the summer when my friends were out enjoying the sun, because the ONLY thing that mattered to me was honoring the natural gifts God gave me to alter sound. These new DJs ain’t built like that.

I want to apologize for the technical issues with the show tonight. I wanted to come back rly strong and usually I always handle every aspect of my show myself - to save time this was one of the first times I've outsourced essential things like rekordbox bpm's and letting someone else organize the tracks on the sd card etc. i had a bad feeling beforehand not having run everything thru the cdjs myself and tho I flagged it I wasn't insistent. the big lesson for me was a mix of 1 if u want it done right, do it yrself 2 be a cunt even if ppl feel bad 3 probably pretend it's fine and engage w the crowd rather than spend a whole show slumped over the desk trying to fix software when ur meant to be entertaining. I will personally organize all the files next week. I will not let such a thing happen again. I've spent months on this show, making music and visuals, and admittedly am not in the best mood atm But, yeh - next week will be flawless, everything will run thru my hands Some good lessons learned. Bless y'all. The cdjs were showing me bpms like 370 so I couldn't even mix manually by ear and the front monitors were off so it was literally sonic chaos on my end trying to guess how stuff was sounding for u guys Plz forgive me! Love, always 🤍

Hey Lucky's. I totally understand the current no return policy due to COVID but it isn't made clear either in store or stated on the receipt. Going forward sure but I still would like to return some items here i. Hayward. Little help?

A coordinated stimulus package with renters & small business relief, stoppage of flights, a real two-week stay at home order for non essentials, and at least a G a month ongoing. This shoulda happened back in March or April. At this point, your putting a bandaid over a blade gash

@WasteManagement Just got this and already replied. Yes it hasn't moved since.

@dj8ballsf Hi DJ, I apologize for any frustrations caused by this. We want to help. This morning we asked if your container was still curbside, but we haven't gotten a reply. We would like to confirm this before sending a driver back out. ^sb

My compost bin was not picked up yesterday. It was out all day. My trash and recycle was picked up. Called. Was told 24-48hr pickup IF approved. So my bin full of food sits outside the whole time possibly attracting pests!?
English
@WasteManagement I've lived in other cities. If they forget to pick up they apologize and send someone out RIGHT AWAY. Not this 24-48hr investigation red tape bs! Bin has been sitting outside since the 16th WAITING for the "investigation."

@dj8ballsf Hi DJ, so sorry to hear this. Please send your complete address via direct message, and we will review this. ^sb

@WasteManagement Sent. As of this morning bin is still out and not picked up.

Might as well give users credit everytime it's down. Maybe that will make them maintain things better.

New equipment. New technology. Starting simple.
Special thanks to @Vinroc for the tone track(s). More to come.

Love my new setup but the 33 to 45 and back speed change is not instantaneous. Making my classic "Don't Stop the Rock" routine very sloppy. Is there a fix for this?
