I donât think people understand how much DJing took from me before it gave me anything back.
And I mean that in the best way.
I remember syncing two records on vinyl for the first time and feeling like Iâd just unlocked something wild. Nobody was clapping. My mum didnât care. But it was life changing for me.
I remember being in BCM Mallorca when I was 15, the first big club I ever went to, and all my friends went to bed. I stayed on my own, right by the speaker, just watching the DJ. Completely obsessed. Not networking. Not trying to be seen. Just soaking up this new feeling Iâd discovered.
DJing gave me an identity before it gave me success. It gave me a reason to be at the party. A way to exist in places where I didnât always know who I was supposed to be.
So when I wear a âReal DJingâ t-shirt, itâs not me saying Iâm better than anyone.
Itâs a standard of whatâs important.
Itâs a reminder that this culture was built by people who lived it, learned the music, understood the crowd, and took risks in real time to make rooms feel something fresh and exciting.
A few years ago, everyone wanted to say big-stage DJs were fake and pre-recorded.
And tbh, certain people in the culture didnât help.
For me, this felt personal.
You might not know what Iâm doing on the decks. You donât need to. If it works, youâll feel it. Youâll feel the timing. Youâll feel the result of years spent loving something before it ever looked impressive.
I went ten years without owning gear like this. And even when I finally did get it, it was financed.
So if youâre in your bedroom right now, playing to no one, learning records nobody else around you understands, keep going.
Youâre building the foundation for rooms you havenât even walked into yet.
One day youâll be playing at Space Miami, and some track you discovered alone in your bedroom will suddenly make sense in front of thousands of people.
Thatâs real DJing to me.
