In these highly exceptional times, DJs are resorting to very different measures to raise some money. The methods being utilised for this purpose continue to be noteworthy.
For example, Carl Cox has written a book. Derrick Carter has taken to selling his old equipment.
Sterling Void is continuing his tried and tested tactic of pretending his car has broken down late at night and asking some poor sop for $24 for an Uber home.
Derrick May appears to be paying his solicitor’s fees by flogging clothes with the Transmat logo plastered all over them.
Steve Lawler currently charges people the curious sum of $31 to give producers “feedback” on their tunes. Judging by what I’ve come across, much of the feedback appears to consist of telling them their track is rubbish.
Judge Jules has joined – no, not OnlyFans, thank heavens – Cameo. It’s a website that allows you to request a video from a celebrity. In exchange for the equally curious sum of £123.67, you can receive a personalised video from the Judge himself.
And now grime and dubstep artist Plastician has written a book full of dad jokes. And Resident Advisor appear to be using their grant money to pay someone to write about it.
Strange times.
