Fun fact: I’m an aries add me on co-star
If you could place a dj booth anywhere in the world… where would it be & what would you play? (For instance I would place a dj booth at the bottom of the ocean underneath Antarctica and play trance for all sea life)
Hard to top that answer, maybe a big open air field rave but like for dogs. Hypothetically with a very high tech sound system that could move the air around essentially petting them all at once but without damaging their sensitive ears obviously.
Advice to beginning dj’s?
Don’t mix two tracks just because they happen to be the ~same tempo if they don’t feel good together (I should take my own advice)
Let’s play a pipipi game… I give you a word and you give me a track!

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?
Very generally just continued mutual support / skill and resource sharing that sort of thing (s/o Selwa & everyone in “pick up the flow” for instance), elevating everyone in the scene and moving towards a shared vision of a more cooperative post-capitalist future let’s get it yall
