First off, John is the man.
A DJ is essentially a chef.
That’s the music.
The tracks that someone else painstakingly created.
The meal you create with them?
Just as a chef adds their signature touch to a specific ingredient or dish.
A producer, though?
They’re like the farmer.
And not some hack globalist supporter, Bill Gates funded corporate farmer.
We’re talking mom and pop, grass fed, anti-Monsanto, organic as fuck, manure fertilized farmer.
Farming ain’t easy.
Everything they touch are straight-up USDA- Prime certified bangers.
Then you’ve got your super-producer DJs.
The unicorns of the electronic music world.
Who are absolute freaks of nature in both respects.
Skrillex, for example, is basically the equivalent of the Thomas Keller of electronic music.
The Michelin-star mastermind behind The French Laundry.
Guy can grow heirloom tomatoes and then whip up a meal that leaves everyone drooling.
But Skrillex is the best technical DJ, That I’ve ever seen.
Somebody who actually DJs when he’s up there on stage.
Well, lets call a spade a spade here.
Im more like the line cook at your local Chilis.
Its fun, its entertaining, but it sure as hell aint rocket science.
But I was consistent.
I always showed up to work.
I busted my ass, and always over-delivered.
Like I said when Dan asked me, he’s a genius.
A legit brilliant mind when it comes to composing electronic music.
And if you dont believe me, listen to one of his sets.
(Sidebar - Not to mention, I owe Summit big time.
One we ended up winning a big award for at the EDM Awards in Las Vegas.)
So thank you for everything John.
- We ran it back, winning the award again this past year for our lineup once again.
This time being nominated for the one and only Timmy Trumpet.
- be on the lookout for Big Cat at ARC this summer.
You heard it here first.
Great advice given to him by The Yak.
As for “Take Me Out To The Ballgame”?
Let’s just say Calvin Harris' job is safe.
- I miss Will Burge.
Hell of a guy, and an even better writer.
He scoffed and talked shit when I started writing here when the pandemic closed all my bars and clubs.
Now Daves doing what Dave does, withThe Daily Rundown thing I decided totake a stab at.
What kind of boss dissuades their workforce from taking initiative, and doing actual work?
I feel like I just got Bagwell’d
