During the pandemic a few DJs myself included, started to livestream sets. This was done for the benefit of our audiences which were for the most part stuck at home. The Hustle community in particular had an interesting mix of Djs who went out of their way to produce some great programs via Twitch, Mixcloud, Restream and the like. Hats off to John Donato, Vinny T, Oscar Acevedo, Ceasar Cab, and The Harlem sessions with Bobby Mo & Tone Luva just to name a few. My Retromix was also well received and I'm thankful for the support that I received. Post pandemic the Hustle may have forgotten who was there for them when the going got tough. Now that the pandemic has mostly past, look what DJs the community chooses to support.
Talent is talent, no argument there, but when the "chips" are down who do you want in that "lifeboat" with you?
Lastly, Promoters today want to pay DJ's the same fee they paid them 15 years ago. Have you seen the price of eggs these days, not to mention gas!?! You can support who you like, as they say, you do you. All I'm asking that you should support and give credit to the people who were there for you when it mattered.
