A word on DJs

These days everyone and their grandmother is a DJ. It’s very empowering. DJs don’t just play music. We liberate it. We perform it. We live it and we breath it.

Western culture has alienated the masses from music. In most “primitive” cultures music is participatory and inclusive. The tribe would gather and everyone would sing, dance and celebrate. Modern western culture has elevated the musician onto a false pedestal. The common conception among those ensnared in Western thought-patterns is that you are either a one-in-a-million gifted prodigy, or a passive listener devoid of creativity and imagination. The electronic music revolution is slowly eroding these boundaries. With modern music skills and techniques tend to be transferred freely through passion, affinity and camaraderie, rather than through years of expensive (and exclusive) formal tuition. Much of the snobbery of classical, formal music is entirely absent from today’s musical culture.
