Learning to select and DJ a completely different genre of music is similar to learning music and hearing it all over again. the same frustrations surface like learning anything- of not being good enough, of being so nervous that people will hate it, or not being sure if you even like it. but work must be done, creative projects must be made, and we must all produce things that indicate to people where we are at in our creative process. I stepped through a creative portal where noise and crashing sound as good to me as house synths and divas belting. i didnt trade one for the other- i just wanted to see where it could take all of us collectively to try something weird and new.
