Guide to the art of djing - Intermediate
October 13, 2020
I have been mixing music as a DJ for going on some 18+ years now (you can check me out here), and felt I should really share some of my knowledge with those who might be starting out or want some direction on how to improve on the fundamentals.

Over the years I have been fortunate enough to spend some time in some absolutely amazing teams. I love the people, working together was fun and fulfilling even when the work itself was shit or incredibly stressful. And I can genuinely say I looked forward to going to work in the morning.
Of course, it hasn't all been cinnamon buns and rainbows, I have also watched teams fall apart - imploding into states of willful self destruction, paranoid delusions, communication break down or open hostility.

June 21, 2017
I believe that this cycle is one of humanity's greatest abilities and think it should be studied, understood and encouraged in all. Nothing I cover here should really be a surprise, but I find it’s always good to consult and remember this when the going gets tough.

I've just completed my first code signed Windows App, Style for Windows and found the process to be a bit of a nightmare for the uninitiated.
