What’s the point of your DJ career? I came across a great article addressing this question on First Floor that was featured back in Oct (link below). I paraphrase below some of the points that stuck out to me.

DJing itself isn’t particularly difficult; literally anyone can DJ. Fine… that’s fun. But there’s this odd pressure for DJs to constantly project success; irrespective of whether or not things are actually going well. Is what they are doing actually creatively fulfilling? Good question.

I’ve been lucky enough to be on most sides of the creative equation in the scene and certainly feel less pressure at this point in my music journey to project success; simply focussing my production on my roots in house, breaks and D&B has been rewarding enough. Seems like the less serious I take it, the more dividends it pays. So maybe there’s no point, just running with it?

I agree with the article: it’s unfortunate how much DJs decisions these days are likely to be influenced by ... prevailing narratives about what a DJ career is supposed to look like… aka, an artist’s only options are to become an international touring juggernaut or remain “just” a local DJ. 

The article goes on... DJs can take their craft seriously without depending on gigs as their sole source of income. Plenty of great DJs hold down other jobs... I do. I’ve seen a lot of clout chasers and people who just want to get famous. They will always exist but dance music, especially underground, should distance itself from the glorification of continuous growth and mindless hustle culture.

The article's has a point, there’s no shame in having a day job, and there’s nothing wrong with being a DJ who doesn’t travel, or only plays the occasional out-of-town show. For DJs, there is no single “correct” path, and aiming for something lower than global domination shouldn’t be regarded as a failure.

I appreciate how the article suggests normalizing ignoring the voices that tell artists, “you’re not getting enough recognition” and encourage them to focus instead on following their creative impulses, wherever they may lead.

Normalize not thinking of DJing in career terms.

Its a great read for new and long time DJs. I wanted to share that.

Enjoy 🌄 the mix 🎵…. or don’t; it’s all 🧘🏽‍♂️.

My beloved rhythm riders,

From the pulsing heart of Mexico City, with roots reaching deep into the Afro-Caribbean soil, I bring you a beat-drenched love letter — a mix that's an odyssey through the vibrant soul of South African music, with a mission to fuse the electrifying sounds of Africa and Latin America, and touch the heartbeats of cultures along the way.

Imagine a journey with me — a marathon mix that celebrates the diversity of grooves I adore, all while riding the wave of amapiano rhythms, the lifeblood of this musical adventure. From the fiery Afro-Latin beats to the infectious energy of Afrobeat, we'll dance from Brazil to Colombia, soar from Nigeria to South Africa, and even take a detour through the diverse streets of Quebec, with other global echoes woven in.

I call this creation 'Amamore'. It's more than just a mix; it's a bridge between worlds, an amapiano love story, and 'amor' for the melodies that move us. It's an invitation to experience the diversity that amapiano can offer, binding disparate tunes into a long-form symphony that will keep your spirit soaring whether you're in motion or still, from the sweat of the gym to the focus of your office.

With each beat, feel the defiant spirit of South Africa, the land of a thousand rhythms and a beacon of diversity, whose revolutionary heart helped shatter the chains of apartheid. This spirit lives in the collaborative soul of amapiano, where artists unite to craft hits that are anthems of inclusivity.

This mix is my passion, my offering to you — to introduce new sounds, to unite through music, and to inspire you to dive deeper into the stories of these artists and genres. 

Let 'Amamore' be your soundtrack to discovery, a vibe to return to, time and time again. May it energize, surprise, delight, and inspire you. 

Enjoy the ride,
DJ SWIPE LEFT

JKG 011 - Shael (@djshael)

011 of the JKG mix series features Shael from Winnipeg. We first were put onto the deep, groovy sounds of Shael at Basscoast Festival; her daytime set was perfect for the moment with smiles on the dance floor all around. A few years later the day has finally arrived that we are hosting Shael on our JKG mix series. As avid house heads ourselves, we certainly vibe with her.

Residing in the heart of the Canadian prairies in Winnipeg MB, Shael self described as a passionate DJ who loves spreading joy through music and bringing people together to dance; heck YES! She's an established figure of the Western Canadian underground dance scene and has brought her distinct style of DJing to dance floors in her hometown and beyond, for over two decades. A house music specialist, expect to hear anything from deep/disco/classic house, to garage and breakbeats, all expertly programmed to reflect the energy of any crowd or setting.

In addition to DJing, Shael actively promotes in Winnipeg as part of the Proper YWG crew whose events showcase local underground talent. This summer you can find Shael performing at Bass Coast Festival (www.basscoast.ca), MEME Festival (www.memetic.ca), and Bring Your Love Festival (www.bringyourlove.ca) as well as several additional events in her hometown to be announced.

Shael describes, “I put together this mix to showcase the vibe that’s presently speaking to me, deep and groovy house with a little bomp, meshed with slow n lush breakbeats. An ode to summer nights and early morning sunrises, these sounds give me all the feels! All of these tracks are available to buy on Bandcamp :) Cheers! xo” 
 
And what better a way to embrace the sunny months of June than a wonderfully housey mix from one of Western Canada’s finest house music selectors, Shael. 

Enjoy the Mix.
