Carl Craig - Ride or Die

Today, Split airport has the quickest and most efficient check-in and security process that I have experienced. It was painless and effective.

Anyone who claims to know their body perfectly must be superhuman because I've known my body for a long time, and it still surprises me. 😹

Music sounds better to me when I listen in a dark room

I’m confused. When did domestic cars in the US become just as expensive to repair as imported cars?

Growing up, I was captivated by Andy Kaufman's genius! His uniqueness sparked a fire in me that still burns bright today. When I hit the decks for my DJ sets, I channel the spirits of Miles Davis, Andy Kaufman, and George Spiggott.

-A DJ set is about the music
-A DJ show is about the spectacle

This is good to know. Thanks!

Yep, I do have tinnitus. It's louder when I’m congested.

No matter how compelling the music from a DJ set is, if the crowd comes to see the DJ acting like a fool and he doesn’t, the dance floor will thin out.

The King James bible says Love thy Neighbor
An American bible would say the opposite

The algorithm = Big Brother
Influencers are slaves to the algorithm
Cancel culture = Thought Police

The problem with American values is that everyone is viewed as competition or an enemy. The idea of coming together to create the best America is not part of our value system.

I woke up at 4:30 from a nightmare that Trump was grading my schoolwork. Now this mofo is Freddy Krueger!!!

I just woke up from a dream where I realized the difference between a "show" and a "set." In films, a "show" is like Superman, while a "set" is more substantial, like The Godfather. In the DJ world, a "show" is energetic and flashy, while a "set" focuses on delivering solid music.

I'm listening to Jimi Hendrix, and when he pressed down on the tremolo bar of his Strat, he had a way of making time seem to slow down by a fraction of a second.

When I’m in Ibiza, I try to stay out of the direct sun. The sun has become increasingly dangerous, and to me, spending too much time in it is like handling lit dynamite.

This is the textbook condescension that black Americans who speak eloquently have dealt with at the very least within my lifetime

Mixing music on headphones sucks. I like listening to my music loud so I can walk anywhere in the room and catch the vibe.

Frankfurt airport is good at making situations that should be convenient completely inconvenient.

I'm always on the road, so I have to adapt to doing studio work while on the road. However, I've found that every mix I've done on headphones sucks, so I'm looking for a new approach. Suggestions welcome?

Driving on long trips gives me free time to think, and I realize when I vote, I choose the candidate who wants everyone to eat, not just the people in their party.

I love riding the train vs flying because I can board a train with 10 pieces of luggage without blinking an eye. I do that on a flight, and the result is a frenzy of extra charges

With all the dope sales on VSTs, I remind myself that they all do the same thing as the ones I own, and I don’t need them. If I spend my money wisely, I’ll upgrade the tools I already use.

I find that when I mix music on stage and in the studio, anything is possible. I’m not subtle; I work in extremes.

Come to Detroit!

I wish all airport terminals had dedicated slow and fast lanes. It sucks to be in a rush for a flight while a group of windowshoppers stops in mid-stride, causing a traffic jam.

An ugly truth: if James Brown were alive today, he would likely be pro-Trump. Why do I think this? Because in the 70s, he was pro-Nixon. Regardless, JB's music remains funky!

Unpopular opinion: I won't go into debt to impress anyone with my restaurant tips.

It's hard to get excited about new music when 100 tracks I've heard this week sound suspiciously the same.

I won’t admit to many pet peeves, but I don’t like finally getting into a studio groove and then having to go on tour for 30 days.
