Great chatting with you about this crucial topic, Luke. I'm happy to read you and other DJ's and producers can relate. Sending lots of love to everyone that needs it and remember (as you can see from the comments on this video), you are not alone.

@@laidbackluke as a (currently) smaller DJ working multiple residences across various nights I found these points super relevant. Particularly the section on maintaining a healthy career and not allowing yourself to become a party animal every single night. I too have found that being in that mindset is very draining both mentally and physically, so it feels good to have my feelings validated by some of the top dogs in the scene. Thanks for making this video boys!

As an "old" former semi professional dj (2001-2009) I acknowledge everything that is being said in the video. I was djing, making music and running a business. I found out I wasn't suited for doing accounting, networking and marketing and I really hated traveling and broken time scedules. This was even before social media and smart phones became a real thing. As a teen I was in it for the creativity, that creativity died when my big burn out kicked in for not listening to my body. After that period I focussed more on studio work as a hobby, removing the financial pressure and got my joy from becoming a proficient mixing and mastering engineer.

Thank you for sharing this video and shedding light on the challenges that come with being an international DJ, especially at a high level like yourselves. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to maintain a balance between producing, performing, and taking care of oneself physically and mentally while on tour. As someone who DJs on a smaller scale, I appreciate hearing about these experiences. It definitely makes me appreciate the hard work and sacrifices that go into being a successful DJ even more.

Tbh I’m so happy I never became a touring DJ and chose a different career path. I still love music, but I can go to parties and festivals when and where I want. I only travel when and where I want. I can have a normal sleep and eat schedule, work out on time and so much more. So yeah, there’s a big difference between loving music/parties and being an actual professional.

As great as things are nowadays, it feel that its getting harder and harder to make a living out of this passion. Not just because of the competition but also because the way the industry is evolving. In the 90s you could be a great DJ and make a good living without produce one song, and producer could also make a living without having to DJ. Now you have to be both (plus all the social media side of it), and I'm not sure it's a good thing for the scene. There's lot of producer who don't want to be DJ, and tons of DJ who don't want to produce, which in the end make people in front not necessary the best (usually for the DJ part, because the production side seems to be what makes the best seller for DJ gigs, which is a bit ironic in a sence) And the future doesn't seems to be hopefull for that, music creation keep losing more and more it's value. Maybe at some point we'll see the DJ skills being the selling point for a show instead of the production and stream and social media number. (with that being said, that doesn't mean we don't have great DJ/great producer on show)

In many ways this lifestyle is quite similar or the same (without adoration of fans😂), to airline crew lives. Just an fyi. Lonely , on the road, away from loved ones. Missing holidays and special events with loved ones. So much time in airports and places where we don’t know anyone. Yup. We must be so strong mentally being alone so much of our lives. Rest is destroyed as not normal. Trying to day sleep in hotels or on planes with NONE , no common courtesy from other occupants there at the hotel etc. we travel go back amd forth overseas over aNd over in a month. We learn to just operate in a constant jet lag. My heart goes out to you and your lifestyle. I know this lifestyle from crew standpoint. (Flight attendant and commuter to my base for over 35 years. ) Respect to all you Djs and of course to the flight crews all over the world as well. Always remember to take care of you!!!

Luke or Sam, have you ever considered this ? Would love your input !
