revisiting & reflecting: with Osmosis Jones (Q&A)
revisiting & reflecting: with OSMOSIS JONES (Q&A) that sonder set: a month ago now was Osmosis Jones’s debut on the main stage at Sonder Festival. after speaking to plenty of partygoers across the weekend - including my fellow volunteers on the Green Team - it became pretty clear this was the set everyone had been waiting for. what started as your classic “fun in the sun” main-stage energy quickly shifted into something else entirely. as the sun began to set and OJ’s set star

dj culture - eroding or evolving?
dj culture - eroding or evolving? the start: its been interesting to observe the evolution of the dj in a society that is becoming more and more individualistic and driven by ego. especially since, from at least what i understand, being a dj was never really about the individual or the ego . undoubtedly we live in the age of influencer culture dominating most spaces, social media is everywhere, and visibility has become a form of currency. more and more it feels like ever

my first event - 5/2/26 'coming to...'
my first event - 5/2/26 'coming to...' on thursday 5th feb i’ll be throwing my first ever event. eee! this is something i’ve wanted to do for a long time, rooted in my interest in how visual art and sound can exist together and create one cohesive experience. maybe even a whole new environment - one that encourages expression and realisations. moments of ‘coming to…’, if you will. not quite here, not quite there. although i can now sit somewhere in the category of being a ‘

high-key thriving & low-key spiralling
high-key thriving & low-key spiralling there’s a strange mix of gratitude, guilt, and confusion that comes with leaving home and making a new one. even when the decision is intentional, one you choose for yourself, doubt creeps in: was it the right choice? over the last couple of years, that back and forth -the push and pull between what once felt like my place and what feels like it now - has been kind of overwhelming. sometimes not thinking about it feels like the easiest w

one vodka redbull & some lyrics please
one vodka redbull & some lyrics please ‘respectfully, where are the vocals?’ too often, i’ll be out at an event or a festival and hear people saying they want the DJ to ‘play some vocals.’ me included at times - i love a lil singing break in between the kick-snare, no matter how much it’s been rinsed - yes ‘make me’ i’m referring to you. there is something undeniably satisfying about it - unifying and euphoric, as the one singing, but also i can only imagine as the DJ watchin
