The Four Agreements & DJing

Don Miguel Ruiz's "The Four Agreements" offers timeless wisdom that can profoundly impact various professions, including the dynamic world of DJing. I rememebr when I first got the book and gave it to friends and, male & female, put it into practice. A friend's mother created posters for each agreement and put them up in the house, wishing she'd read them years ago. By integrating these agreements into their craft, DJs can enhance their artistry and...

The Making of Insomnia – Faithless’ ‘Accidental’ Anthem

Few tracks define an era like Insomnia by Faithless. A dark, hypnotic masterpiece with no hook, no chorus, and a structure that defied convention, it became one of the most iconic electronic tracks of all time. But Insomnia was never meant to be a hit. In fact, it almost didn’t happen at all. (Just listen to this for the piano) https://www.youtube.com/embed/P8JEm4d6Wu4 I recently watched a documentary on the making of Insomnia, and it revealed just how unconventional...

The Secret to Life is Being Comfortable with the Unknown

Music production and DJing have a way of revealing life’s deeper truths. One of the biggest? The secret to life is being comfortable with the unknown. Whether it's stepping up to the decks without knowing exactly how a crowd will react, or sculpting a track from raw inspiration without a clear outcome in mind, the magic happens in uncertainty. Yet in business, we seek certainty. Investors want predictable returns. Labels want guaranteed hits. Promoters want...

DJ – the Same as Being an Solo Entrepreneur

Many people see DJing as a pure technical skill—beatmatching, track selection, reading the crowd. And yes, those things matter. But just like in entrepreneurship, your technical skill is only about 20% of the job. The rest? It’s business, networking, and brand-building. Let’s break it down. 1. Every Entrepreneur Starts with a Core Skill Every entrepreneur comes into business with a core skill—maybe they’re a great coder, designer, or marketer. For DJs, that core skill is DJing....

Life Coaching Models & DJing

DJing is track selection, a lot of stuff in the middle and results in a performance. But that 'stuff in the middle' can cause a lot of head trash, espeically if you are not getting the connections you want in the industry. Rather than blame the industry it may be worth looking at your own thoughts and feelings. Its the only area you can have full control and work on daily. By working on both...

The War of Art & The Challenges of Electronic Music Production

Steven Pressfield’s The War of Art is all about overcoming Resistance, the invisible force that stops us from creating. If you're an electronic music producer, you've probably felt Resistance in many forms—procrastination, self-doubt, endless tweaking, or just not starting a track at all. Pressfield’s insights apply directly to music production, and understanding them can help you push through creative blocks and finish more tracks. 1. Resistance is the Enemy of Every Producer Pressfield defines Resistance as...
