I think this thread could use some wisdom from my hero.. Raja Ram.
the man is 70+ yrs old and I’m sure will DJ for the rest of his days, he played support for pink floyd in his earlier days in the band quintessence, bumped into jimi hendrix at a studio, got on acid and went to a john coltrane gig getting to sit a meter from him.. founded TIP records & 1200 micrograms, helped pioneer psytrance, basically invented psybient with his partner in crime Simon Posford (hallucinogen, shpongle, younger brother, twisted records) and the list goes on… I’m only 27 but sometimes I feel ancient… feeling old is just that… a feeling.. so shake it off brother 🙂 and though a paid gig is a paid gig, I personally wouldn’t want to dj for people that think only dj’s under 35yrs are worth hireing.. seems moronic to me.
