The worst part about making a playlist as a dj is trying to put all the songs in an order that flow together and trying to be like ‘if I fade this out here and start this song at this point that will be great!’

I've been commissioned to write 20,000 characters on RAVE for a widely distributed mainstream magazine, basically an introduction for newcomers. Honestly, I don’t even know where to start. The truth is, I’d love to just rant about all the issues that everyone keeps diagnosing but nothing ever changes:

The shift of culture into a strictly business model

The absence of artistic managers in clubs

Competition over collaboration (or collaboration limited to tight-knit interest groups)

Increasing commercialization

The looming shadow of yet another economic crash, closing the cycle

Clubs dumping the responsibility for attendance solely on the collectives throwing the parties (a lazy and crude post-COVID tactic)

A total lack of respect for music in favor of catering to a mediocre audience (by mediocre, I mean those without any musical awareness), so long as the drinks keep flowing

Escalating hedonism and TikTok-ification

The loss of the old-school approach (aspiring DJs used to put in years of work to learn the craft; now it’s all about “average but loyal”)

An obsession with pointless popularity contests and awards

Sectarianism over quality and freshness

Honestly, I had to take a step back because all these factors have really shaken my belief in the value of engaging with the broader rave scene. I’m using this break to reconnect with the original ideals, refresh my knowledge, and seek alternatives.

I think I’ll focus on encouraging readers to maintain high standards, choose their events mindfully, avoid chasing trends, and be guided by their authentic reactions to music—the kind that, for me, used to create incredible experiences at parties, where smoke and strobe lights offered an escape from the toxic world outside.

It’s no surprise that my friends are losing interest in going out when the toxicity they’re trying to escape is staring them down in four walls marked with the empty and overused slogan of PLUR.

Baby doll, you know who I am? I rock two turntables with Uncle Jam. I'm the Egyptian Lover, baby, I'm #1; I'm a mixin', scratchin', record-lovin' son of a gun.

Know Your Hip-Hop Pioneers: DJ Hollywood

Before there were rap records, noted as the original King of Rap, DJ Hollywood was the first rap superstar, and first to rock both the mic and turntables at once. His rhythmic skits caused crowds to lose their minds within melodies. In the 70s he was the most favored entertainer of uptown New York City. His all-time classic phrases, “Throw Ya Hands In The Air” and “Somebody Say Ho” are testimonies to his savvy crowd response-ability and vibrant vocals. DJ Hollywood was the spark of the emcee.
