i love hunting and gathering to feed my wife (going to jewel to buy gay little pastries)

so much of the scene seems like they’re models/influencers first and djs second, can we get that the right way round again?

bc i know there’s some promoters out there using some nasty filthy dirty defense contractor ass money to throw mid club nights

frail808 (the dj) @frail808.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

i think that promoters using generational, corporate, or VC money to throw club nights should have to put that shit on their flyers like a logos on NASCAR vehicles

literally cannot wait to see which locals play the chicago boiler room so i can clown on them endlessly

i don’t think we need any more remixes of renegade master ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

frail808 (the dj) @frail808.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

ridiculous how promoters will co-opt the language of the underground and the diy to seem edgy while not taking on the risks to throw a party without benefiting capital. if your party is at an established legal venue it is NOT “location TBA” or “underground” & promoting it as such is so fucking corny

if ur oomf and at the gig come say hi

frail808 (the dj) @frail808.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

anyhoo i am djing a lot this week and if you’re in chicago you should probably come see it

frail808 (the dj) @frail808.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

sometimes i get mad at the dumb shit i see on the tl. then i remember it’s my page and i can block & move on! amazing!

frail808 (the dj) @frail808.bsky.social · 25/02/2025

listening thru the hemlock back catalogue today and it’s rly striking how forward this music feels. HEK001 by untold was released in 2008(!) and still sounds fresher than a lot of tunes coming out now!!! the “post dubstep” era of UK dance music was truly ridiculously fertile

frail808 (the dj) @frail808.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

caveats here are that i am not using a lot of intelligent playlists in rekordbox (yet) - from what i have heard these are MUCH more dependent on transfer rate to be able to populate quickly, once i’m doing this i’ll likely switch to SD cards with a faster transfer rate

010

frail808 (the dj) @frail808.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

the important thing that pioneer’s documentation does not call out as clearly is transfer rate for USB storage devices - again ymmv but i’m consistently able to play 3-4 decks of simultaneous tracks from a single 420mb/s drive and have never run into tracks not loading or taking a long time to load

frail808 (the dj) @frail808.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

pretty much all gear you run into will like: fat32 formatting for any drive aiff files at 16/24bit (32bit support is iffy for some players you run into, ymmv there) 44.1k sample rate (anything above this can freak out some lower tier current gen or older pioneer players)

100

frail808 (the dj) @frail808.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

the amount of false information about file formatting and operational standards for dj gear that gets spewed around the internet is unreal!!!! it’s all in the manufacturers documentation! like imagine doing any other job that requires use of specialized equipment and not reading the manual first?

we got: mango jalapeño baked brie thai spice sticky wings strawberry basil lemonade chips and salsa NJ style crumb cake all homemade, my house smells crazy

spent the whole day making a super bowl FEAST and i’m so pleased

it’s like so easy to tell who’s djing/promoting with intergenerational wealth footing the bill lol

everything i listen to feels like a love song lately 💫

yeah i’m a reactionary, but in like a cool way - trump rolls back trans rights and i’m gonna get even more transsexual and even dykier with it

frail808 (the dj) @frail808.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

that might even be too many djs, the american mind fears the 4h set

020

frail808 (the dj) @frail808.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

can we stop having like 8 vendors and performances and tattoos and burgers and shit at parties and just put 3-4 great djs in front of a great sound system in a dark hazy room??? like it’s not rocket science yall

frail808 (the dj) @frail808.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

my least favorite dj trend is videos of playing 4 decks of (usually faux hardrgroove) tracks that sound exactly the same and doing random fader jacking

feeling a sense of joie de vivre that’s eluded me for years

020

frail808 (the dj) @frail808.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

to be ultra clear - no shade for doing this, definitely makes me feel freer to just use drum presets so i can focus on what i like doing in the studio instead (weirdo modular soundscapes)

000

frail808 (the dj) @frail808.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

sometimes i get self-conscious about using presets/sample packs in my productions, but hearing a very popular track that’s literally just mostly the stock sequence off the behringer 303 put that in perspective real quick

should NOT have spent nye at a bar with 3 dollar peppermint shots
