3. you're pissed at the music industry and algorithms and want anti-industry music

4. all of the above

5. none of the above

you should listen to my new EP if:

1. you're a fan of progressive house, melodic techno, or trance and are bored with what's popular

2. you like supporting indie musicians who do everything themselves (songwriting, production, mixing, mastering, artwork, etc)

When you think of me, I want you to imagine a giant, anti-capitalist, techno elk rampaging through town

Please and thanks

Inb4 my replies are filled with this type of comment in 3-5 years

"you can't get mad at someone for using an AI ghost producer. they are just being smart by adapting to the market. who cares if someone makes their own music these days"

"Spotify can't pay $0.01 per stream because then they'd go out of business"

Yep, that's the point. They should go out of business.

Clearly they didn't have a good enough business plan. Not sure why we should be caping for Spotify's ability to exist

Yea it's all horseshit. We wouldn't have to be small business owners if we would just have some class solidarity

Yup. People think that because I talk about this stuff, I must be getting like 2 plays a year or something. Naw dog I'm this mad because my music reaches 100,000+ people per year and I have to work 2 other jobs. This isn't normal

I think what irritates me the most is when you bring stuff up that can be better for everyone, other artists scream "you're feeling entitled" and its infuriating. The few wins we do get now don't even feel like wins because the conditions are so poor. It sucks.

Yea the fact that someone yesterday told me that I was acting like I'm owed something because I talk about improving the industry..... Dog the money my music generated is going to someone else, of course I'm owed more lmao wtf is this world

We shall bitch henceforth

I know. And not just for music, basically everything......

I'm really tired of people telling me "yea we know the music industry is broken but you should shut up and work in the broken industry anyway"

How about NO. I'ma keep yappin

Ayyy same. I feel maybe I should start putting my thoughts into longer format pieces so it's not so charged by social media 🤔 we'll see haha

Really going to make an effort to start getting off Threads over the next month or so now I need to figure out what I'm going to post on here.

Stay with the anti music industry stuff or switch to a lighter tone? 🤔

My dream teacup 🥹

Actually? That's interesting 🤔 also very good for your knee ligaments

If your immediate reaction to critiques of the music industry is defensiveness instead of solidarity with exploited artists, you might be part of the problem

walking backwards up a hill also helps

There is no deeper love than the love shared between a melodic techno fan and a synth with LFO

It will never not be hilarious to me when this new generation of DJs hires 3 photographers and a social media person for a booking that pays $150 and then you go try to find their music and they legit only have mashups on SoundCloud and not a single original work

I wish I was making this up 🤣

You and me both!

I need to use this app more instead of you know where 🥲

Where are my fellow dinguses? I am looking for thee on this platform

City festivals >>>>>> Camping festivals

Being able to come back after 12 hours of dancing and lay in an actual bed, eat a full meal, and take a shower is just better imo

Made my day actually

winter 2025 trance, techno, and hargroove DJ mix | Elkheart this mix is a little bit different from what you've heard from me before but it's what i've been listening to over the past year or so and i felt like these ...

This mix is a combination of a lot of different styles of music that I've been into lately and what I would play at a festival (if I ever get booked for one lmao). My music has been going in a more trance direction so hopefully y'all vibe with this too

It's baffling to me that even 1 person is as dumb as any Republican, but to have millions of people that dumb is truly a feat that might never be rivaled again in history

Never thought I'd be living through feudalism round 2.....

Except this time it's worse cause we have less vacation than feudal serfs and have to pay for our existence

Agreed. Also most piracy of corporate IP doesn't bother me either
