Great taste in the trance-adjascent sounds. Interesting guy, I infer he doesn't need to work, my guess is cashed in equity from a startup exit, so he just does this cuz it's fun. I let it play as background soundscape at my office/studio, I don't watch the visuals or interact with chat so much.

I discovered live DJ streams on Twitch about 18 months ago, while looking for live cameras to watch, and it's a daily thing for me now. Jon Gurd is in my top three of said streamers, he does breaks and progressive house (I think, genres elude me.) His originals, which he plays a few during his sets, are really hot, and his set lists are always tasty. Fascinating to me is that he and other really high-touch DJs never hit more than a couple hundred listeners concurrently, but that is another thing.

I prefer to work while listening to music, but I get distracted if there are too many lyrics. As a result, I listen to a lot of electronic music, and SoundCloud (and sometimes Mixcloud) is the best platform to hear a DJ set. I made a few mixes during the pandemic, which you can listen to here. Iโm not great at physically mixing records โ CDJs are easy enough, but beatmatching on wax is a truly difficult craft I respect! โย so I often sample a movie quote or YouTube deep cut to transition between tunes. If you want to hear real DJs, below is a collection of sets, mixes, and a couple radio shows Iโve been hitting as of late. Vibe-wise, they lean towards 303s, Drexciya-era electro, early UK dubstep/bass, and film score gems โ in other words, downright slappers left and right.

I tend to be fairly anti-influencer but I have to admit these ~30 minute dj sets are great for running, which makes sense considering Elliot is a professional cyclist. but if house/garage/dance isnโt ur thing for running I feel like anything fast by sonic youth is also a good shout.

I'd NEVER pay for a algo-driven, ad-saturated social network...so even if it's purely symbolic in the long run, I just upgraded to demonstrate with my wallet that there is a market for this cool community.

I know I'm not cool. That's why I appreciate the PI community for letting me play at being cool. I feel like a hipster pollywog with a protective froggie parent letting me explore the pond safely. Sure, at some point I'm likely to get snatched up as a seagull's breakfast, but I'll enjoy the pond while I can. Thanks.

Probably picked it up from Reddit, I feel good when saying this, no idea why.
