Part TWO
and this is where you either respect me or unfollow me for it.
If you leave without reading the whole thing, try to downplay what I'm saying, or defend the things I'm calling out,
thank you, I'm genuinely ok with losing anyone who doesn't hear me and I don't care how it reflects on my page or my reputation π―
I'd rather have 5 followers who are at peace knowing their homie is calling this s**t out, than 542 who just came here for a good time sunshine rainbow out my butt
SETTING, SPACE, INTENTION, PLACEMENT
~Back in the day, I would tear into posts screaming about how dnb wasn't as accepted in my city as more mainstream genres
I also used to say that I don't enjoy mainstream dubstep, tearout, bass, etc ..
Then I realized
Any genre can become pulled back and emotionless into a hype title game
I watched a dnb set once where I can tell something was deeply wrong
I felt sick
I watched how the DJ was moving
I .. hated it.....
I have watched dnb become bigger in America and that feeling of lack I get from listening to most people messing with it
At this point its any genre ~
It's not to put down anyone who enjoys mainstream EDM
I'm putting down IT ITSELF, the lacking emotion in modern music, the corporate level it is found in and the way and reason it's manufactured, the fact that it's made to please a corporate setting and I have noticed catering to something that big, the culture gets lost
I just dont like it anymore personally
Getting sober also helped me see the vast drain and soullessness it tends to have nowadays.
No matter what genre, it's the way you use it and the intent too.
Especially the music you hear at all the corporate festivals in America
Since 2016, I have not enjoyed a "dubstep wook bass" event
If it doesn't sound like 2014 Zomboy, I don't like it at all
Music then had a ton of emotion despite all the bleeps and bloops, and they went in tandem well.
Ever since wook culture came out, I have had a terrible experience with it
That "bro step" frat boy energy that comes with those spaces
The consumerism
The exploitation
The overplay
The masks used as a marketing tactic instead of legitimacy
I have even watched frat boy energy bleed into dnb and its been disheartening to watch
That all said
I REFUSE TO BE BOOKED JUST ANYWHERE
I will not take a booking at a corporate event
I will not take a booking anywhere where mainstream/ aggressive music is played
I toured last year and I did enough of the getting boxed into slots where there is some kid spinning aggressive screech bass before or after me
Completely ruining the portal I spent an hour curating
I have been to places where they expected me to spin for the crowd and bring the hype, which is never what I came here to do
It's unprofessional to me at this point
I don't want to be booked on slots where the musix the whole way isn't intentional
I don't want to be in settings where it's fast food drop after drop
I enjoy the journey
Every set I ever released for a show was a journey
I took the time to play out tracks
I have had 10 minute intros
I did loop work
Build up , break down, suspense, resolve and finale
I spent hours building a landscape and a movie, finding key placement to express movement and feelings, lyric layout, s**t going as far as cryptic placement of track NAMES to the parts of the movie to add extra messaging
the nine yards guys . . .....
Busted my ass on all my sets
Hours of testing trial and error
Days of digging
It sent a message for the soul
My work is hands down cinematic π
I don't mix to please crowds
I mix to heal them
I don't curate sets to give an escapism co***ne ADHD fix
I mix to remind you of the beginning
What it started for
And why it's here
why IM here
I want you to feel nostalgia
Not numbness
To each their own
I don't enjoy it
I can't mentally handle it anymore
I can't Spiritually handle it anymore
I genuinely get anxiety when someone is mixing fast and aggressively, slinging in and out of genres with no curating or movement to paint a picture
If your drops and tracks are coming in every 30-50 seconds
I shut down into a panic attack
My fight or flight response kicks in
It's overstimulating and overbearing
I can tell when it's just moving through tracks without a storyboard
I don't like headbang culture
I don't like dark culture
I don't think it's fun
The vibration it carries doesn't feel good to me
I have noticed alot of people in those settings are mean too
I'm just over it
These large scale events where mainstream is played are the biggest hubs of where PLURR got lost because it's catering to the largest consumer points
'Anyone is invited' without discussing, teaching and accountability with PLURR, is too far.
And yes to be real, you need to do the work on yourself to embody PLURR, not just say it And use it with toxic positivity to mask your lacking moral and behaviors
Corporate festivals are not therapy
Doing drugs is not therapy
Going to actual therapy with a professional is therapy ....
And the only people that can get away with saying "I can't afford therapy" are the ones who also don't go to corporate festivals because they can't afford it
If you can go to festivals capped out at 50k
You can afford therapy..
These events have drowned out to become escapism glammed up in plastic and farses ..
These events are the ones you see the most theft, r@pe, and toxic behavior at ..
The most drug abuse at
No one is getting taught all the way
It has devolved the entire time
There is only one big artist that I see talking about this
And if you follow her
You already know who she is
Gods bless her for speaking up
I been on this ride for a very long time now
I have watched it for 15 years
I have been to big festivals
I have been addicted to substances on a degree that I should have d!Ed
I been on cocktails and amounts that would off several horses
I have done escapism
I have done avoidance
I have lived Samsara
I have used Plurr without the work on myself and without fully understanding what it takes to actually be PLURR
So don't think I'm just pulling this out of my ass without the experience
I been there harder than alot in a smaller amount of time .....
I say my viewpoint to point out what needs work in it
And to tell you what I want and don't want
I want intentional spaces now
I want spaces that are SERIOUS about consent and, if there is going to be drugs, serious drug safety no matter what
Ideally I want spaces where there are no stimulants
Organics only
I want no Alcohol events
I want festivals and events where every set was curated from the heart, and it evokes a sense of peace and uplift
Back in my day "dark agro" music wasn't really a thing
Everyone's face and heart was visible
I want groove and soul
I want lush soundscapes and journeys
I'm done with agro music
I'm done with mainstream music
I'm done with festivals big or small , that don't have a solid purpose and stand for what is right no matter what
I'm done with festivals who lack accountability and use any word to make them sound good on media, because there IS boutique festivals who play the same games as big corporate and think no one notices because they claim those fancy words
To my homies who spin mainstream EDM, I genuinely hope it makes you happy and you never let it go to your head
I hope what I have described also sends some thought into making sure you are also standing for better morals at events regardless of what you spin and remind you to make sure you are catering to YOURSELF and your heart FIRST, not just what corporate and media status quo wants from you
(I have told several of you that I was going to make mainstream EDM to get seen more for the sake of getting further to do more for my people and
Every
Single
One
Of
You
Clapped immediately back to not do it .
At this point I fully accept the scenic route, even if it takes longer, staying OG is where I need to remain π―
And for that, we thank you )
I'm looking for INTEGRITY AND HARD WORK
I welcome places that match the work I have put into myself π§Ώπ«‘ππͺβ¨οΈ
