The kinda DJ?

This is a post more about community than actually me learning how to DJ, but it's also about it.

Can you believe this weekend i have another gig? it's pretty awesome, and now im not really opening im playing "second" so i made some progress. Last time i got paid even, for my first ever gig, that seems to be a pretty not normal thing to happen, i still have those 20 bucks in a different bank account because it's a milestone.

Anyways, since i started to actually date my boyfriend i got involved little by little in his DJ Collective, people there was very nice to me, i started to getting close and at some point, i helped and after the last event we organized (we is a big word here, i barely helped) i became part of the staff.

So first of all i'm not a big into group chat or voice chats on discord and that kinda stuff, it's something that because i need to understand now im learning to get into

they are a group of mostly young but very energetic people, really motivated not really by the money but to create, to share and to play music and that's a very valuable perspective.

I always been proud of my boyfriend and the effort he puts on this kinda stuff, and the whole team also makes me proud, they are a really really active team, they are people involved more deeply in the whole scene of you know parties and raves and music than i am and while they don't have "formal credentials" into managing and formal project management and stuff like that they have done so far an amazing job

i feel like i can improve process, documentation and other stuff and it's actually great to use the knowledge i have and i use normally for boring work shit into something that actually means something to me.

someone told me the other day "you are not a learning Dj, you are a DJ" and that actually echoed in my head, and i guess i am, i'm not learning how to be a DJ but im learning how to improve, how to get into the scene, how to move around

and i like it, and i like that im privileged enough to not be someone that needs this to live, but you know, the idea of maybe getting to a point where i can exploit this to make a living and not have to touch jira ever again in my life, is also pretty cool.

Who knows, i can't really say, but i enjoy this and that is the main focus, i'm pretty picky with my music tastes, i'm pretty weird by them, and i guess that makes for good selections.

Even if this goes nowhere, i can say that i did it and i actually did it good, that's a lesson right there for life improvement right?

kiwa out, see you this saturday
