Stop letting your prep collapse.

After analysing 100+ real DJ libraries the same silent set killers kept showing up. Bloated playlists, broken habits, and forgotten bangers that collapse the second you hit the decks.

In just a few hours at 5pm BST, I’m dropping something new that finally fixes the cause, not just the symptoms.

🚀 If you want the details (and the launch bonus), make sure you’re on the newsletter before it goes out:

I deleted 7 years of music because I couldn’t face my own library.

So I've been building a new tool to stop any other DJ reaching that cliff edge.

This isn’t just another metadata fixer. It’s based on everything I teach on this channel and will help you actually *understand* your library while building a system that replaces guesswork and levels up your sets.

I’m opening just 10 early access slots tomorrow (Thu 10th) at 5pm GMT.

Make sure you are on the newsletter to grab your spot:

What's right?

Have you ever noticed your sets feeling samey, but you don't really know why?

The problem could be your own bias. And it's REALLY hard to spot.

In the next newsletter I'll be giving some practical tips on how you can find and fix it in your library.

I'll also be sharing some more info about the game changing tool I'm building that can give your library an actual MRI scan. 

It'll enable you to spot and fix bias (and loads more) instantly, without the hard work. It'll be opening for very limited early access soon.

Make sure you are subscribed by Monday 5pm GMT to learn more:

I learnt to DJ on Vinyl - and it’s better. But not for the reasons you think.

I finally have a turntable back in my life after almost 25 years (The Reloop RP7000-MK2).

But learning or DJing with vinyl doesn’t give me any bragging rights, or make me any better than DJs that learn or play digitally. That argument is as old and tired as the DJs in the comment sections arguing about it.

What I think they should be mentioning is that with vinyl, you can physically hold a banger. It’s not just an abstract waveform on a screen. And that’s pretty fuckin cool.

There’s a warmth to the sound that digital can’t replicate. And of course, some tracks that you can’t even find on Spotify and co.

This turns crate digging from a robotic exercise where you are just finding something for your next set into a new sub-hobby of DJing.

So I’m happy to welcome back wax - alongside my digital DJ life.

What’s your favourite track you can only find on 12”?
