One of my favorite DJ/producers ever, who tragically died in 2010. His sound is still so fresh today and this is probably his best recorded set. The disco house coming out of Japan from that era (Frogman Records, Reel Musiq) is criminally overlooked and I think it’s so much more fun and sonically interesting than the French Touch + Italo Disco vibe everybody’s been getting back into lately. If I could go back in time to see one show it would probably be this one. When he gets out of the booth to go play live electric guitar (around 11min in) over the loop I get chills. Very few people are giving this these days!

last night, I went to see my favorite DJ, Green Velvet, in DC. he was pretty huge in Chicago when house music was starting to become more known in the 90s, and he has a very distinct style.
seeing him reminded me that i wanted to share this video with you all. the history of house music is rich & is based on bringing people together which i find so beautiful. please give this a watch if you're interested in learning about the history of house music <3

i like to ponder in the shower just like everyone else. tonight's shower ponder had to do with the fact that i'm in the job search process right now and it is so disheartening to have to tailor my resume to every post and just basically do the most for every single job post just to most likely receive a rejection within a few days of applying.
i started thinking about the fact that when people accomplish something difficult in life such as finding a job, owning a house, or finishing education there tends to be 2 types of thinking that come out on the other side. the 1st way of thinking is the "well i did it alone and although it was difficult, i was able to do it alone so i think everyone else should be able to do it alone if they try hard enough" the 2nd way is "i did it alone and it was hard and i recognize that there is a need for support here therefore, i would like to change the system so that other people do not have to go thru the same hardship in the same way i did." not saying that everyone thinks like this, but i feel like these are the 2 common ways of thinking that i've heard.
& basically that was ponder as i sat there waiting to wash out my leave in conditioner.

there's plenty of things i love about this platform. one of my favorites is the fact that it quite literally can keep me entertained for hours because someone posts one of their niches and i then fall in a rabbit hole on that topic. also i love listening to the artists y'all recommend because then i can expand my music taste quite a lot. you guys are cool <3
