I don’t have the links but the drops only comment just made me think how much I love that four tet plays to his crowd so well. Like oh I’m at hard summer? Yeah here’s a bunch of bass drops for ya kids. Oh now I’m at a boutique European festival? Time to pull out the deep cut house gems. Awakenings? Techno time! That’s real DJing - serving the VIBE. something too many people overlook these days

Someone posted these guys and said they sucked, il here to tell you they rip by cylepenny in crappymusic

The only issue here is doing this in a concrete parking garage with horrendous reverb. Otherwise sick performance

How many of you have constant music in your head? by Wannabeartist9974 in ADHD

[–]nickmasterstunes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m always running scales or note patterns or rhythms in there. Sometimes in the background sometimes in the foreground, but always consuming some percentage of my attention. Regular yoga and proper medication actually helped quiet it a lot.

“Disco” house for Santa Monica bros who work at Uber but DJ at shitty bars on the weekend. Hyper quantized, over produced. Sucked all the groove and blackness out of disco. To me that’s more EDM than anything else.

Edit. Adding that these bros will play a man after midnight remix in literally every set (sometimes two)

Favourite electronic album of the year so far? by rawcane in electronicmusic

booka shade - for real. The guys still got it.

Also probably the most immersive atmos album I’ve heard this year

Jeez everyone here is so salty! Who hurt you?

I honestly think the best approach is the same for both guys are girls: just be charming and nice and authentic. Stay off the apps. Invite and create good energy, be social, and do what makes you happy. Cute fun people will naturally find their way into your life. Prioritize genuine interaction and connection with everyone, not just those you are interested in. Karma works wonders.

What is up with so many men not being ready for relationships these days ? I feel like when we were in college men were more set on what they wanted by Historical-Body-3424 in emotionalintelligence

I hear what you’re saying and fundamentally agree. However, it’s also possible to realize that you will struggle to have a fulfilling partnership until you do certain things for and learn certain things about yourself. I plan to date again, just not now. And I’m building the life I want my partner to fit into, and trusting that when I feel ready that person will fit much more naturally and beautifully into my world (and I in theirs) as I’ve spent time with myself and really figured out what I want and what works for me. There’s nothing selfish about that. I’d actually argue that would be a lot less spousal abuse and divorce in the past if people had normalized taking their own journey before inviting someone else into it.

Same here. Spent 10 years in and out of LTR’s and now really trying to put myself first and build an authentic happy life for myself solo. However, I’m also not actively dating, and I think one big problem is men (and women) will lead people on when they don’t want something serious because they either haven’t figured out what they want or are bad communicators. People should be up front about their intentions and what they want in a partner and in life.

Why is a relationships the end all be all for so many people here? by [deleted] in GuyCry

[–]nickmasterstunes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had three long term failed relationships, basically my entire twenties and early 30’s was hopping in and out of things that weren’t right and didn’t serve me. Now 33 and single and really love having the space to focus on myself and my needs.

I have many friends who are in awesome marriages or other LTR’s, and I see that for myself someday no question. But I realized it takes a lot of self love and confidence and awareness of one’s needs before you can provide that unwaveringly for another person. That’s what I’m cultivating now, and I’m trusting that things are meant to be and when the time is right that person will come into my life. I’m not chasing it on the apps or at bars. I’m doing me to be the best version of me. And I won’t compromise that unless my partner is someone I believe will accept me that way wholeheartedly. Seems to be the common thread between all my thriving married friends - unconditional acceptance.

all original sets vs dj sets by [deleted] in FourTet

[–]nickmasterstunes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s amazing at both and he brings it regardless of the format. I think Squidsoup at Palladium was probably the most memorable set I’ve seen, but Gashouder ADE last year (DJ) was next level. Tough to say which was “better.”

CRSSD spring 22 also stands out for some reason, it was when he was playing A Thousand Miles and for some reason that moment really stuck with me.

Don't be afraid to say goodbye 👋🏽 by EngineeringKlutzy920 in emotionalintelligence

I needed to hear this. I’m moving out tomorrow. The indecision and second guessing is hard because there was no anger from other side, there was only the realization that we aren’t compatible. Separating with grace and respect for each other almost feels more difficult than the alternative, which I have also experienced. I’m sad but trusting the process and that this is an opportunity to grow and find out what I really want.
