Another little discussed fact of touring is that the quality of the toilet paper often varies between hotels and airports. In many cases, the quality is terrible.

How does a DJ tell you he hates jazz without saying he “hates jazz”?
By dissing live improvisation

When I think about what I can use to launch samples, whether they are a cappella or SFX, I look for an app or gear that will take my set to the next level.

The conversations also make me realize how analytical my mind is as a DJ and producer, which keeps me motivated to find new and better ways to perform. For me, it’s never just about playing a song. It’s about creating a re-edit of every track I perform and exploring how I can improve that edit.

When Brother Amp Fiddler was alive and whenever we met to talk about new gear, we always discussed 'The Next.' 'The Next' refers to the latest equipment that will elevate our skills to the next level. I miss those conversations.

People freely sharing their information on social media makes it harder for me as a traveler to refuse to answer questions at airport security because agents are used to freely sharing their own personal info online, so they don’t understand why anyone would refuse.

I used to dislike newspapers because they focused on bad news. Somehow, I've come to accept the bad news on my social media feed, as there’s a load of amusing posts that make me laugh, which is a welcome break from the usual trash content on my timeline.

Growing up in Detroit, I fully understand car culture, but I will never understand how people take better care of their cars than their own teeth!

The greatest thing about discovering new music is that it doesn't matter how old it is when I find it; on first listen, it sounds new to me.

I’ve reached the point in life where I prefer wearing suspenders to hold up my trousers instead of a belt. 😀

Shock jocks like Howard Stern screwed America and left us with podcasters attempting to be like him

Last night in Brooklyn, @carlcraignet.bsky.social played “Desire” and dropped an important track featuring Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Today, we’re celebrating the theatrical release of “Desire: the Carl Craig Story” at @thespacecinema and @ucicinemasit in Italy!

Monday always comes like clockwork. There's no escaping it. Today, Monday, is here, and I wish I could take a pill that would knock me out until Tuesday night.

Is it me, or does it seem that this US administration's playbook is from the finale of The Boys? There’s a spokesperson for them whose name is Vought

I was in Ibiza during Tropical Storm Gabrielle, and I fucking loved it. The heavy rain and the thunderstorms, Nature is so beautiful. Unfortunately, my hotel closed because of a gas leak, but it was still an exquisite experience.

I might be wrong, and I'm okay with that, but I guess French fries are called French fries because someone saw some Belgian mofo speaking French while making a batch of French fries

Yesterday I played on an A&H Xone92 mixer for the 1st time in years, and it felt like I was driving against traffic on the wrong side of the freeway
