five year anniversary of my first ever DJ gig what tha hell !
I was playing Corsica Studios this weekend and it fell on almost the exact same date as that first Polka Dot Disco Club gig in Dundee Union back in 2020 , which is a really gorgeous coincidence
i've been gigging, doing events and tutoring full time for a bit over a year now and tbh, the freelance music industry life is absolutely no joke. but thankfully I have a lot of very supportive people around me keeping me (just about) sane lol , love to you all
HOWEVER
humanity is looking a bit doomed at the minute so I do want to take a minute to extract myself from the self-congratulatory behaviour that this app rewards. Lol.
we need community more than ever and we need to chill out with individualism.
look after each other, put your ego to one side and actually consider the other side of the story. You and your worst enemy have more in common than you think. these attitudes are what breed meaningful collaboration, discussion and change.
we cannot fight hate with hate !
people pay lip service to this idea of community but when it comes to actually showing up or sacrificing something for the greater good , we falter . we are one giant organism , being selfish is unsustainable.
young people right now are so focused on being in their own 'growth and healing era' that they forget we should ALL be growing and healing, as one . Not just you by yourself!
thank u for all the gigs these past five years, many many more to come I hope. ππ
