"Hustle & Post" :

Welcome to the never-ending hustle of social media. It's a constant race – a sprint, really – where every post, every track, and every photo is a chance to grab a slice of attention in a feed that never stops. It's all about getting noticed, securing those likes, and being “seen. ”
The game is simple: post, engage, repeat. But behind the hustle, there’s that sneaking question you can’t quite shake: Is this really what you signed up for?

Behind every post, there’s a strategy. That carefully chosen angle, the perfectly timed caption, and the playlist that screams ‘I’m the vibe you need.

Everything is curated, sculpted to stand out in a world where authenticity often feels like a glitch in the system. Once you've got your content ready, it’s time to hit ‘send’ and watch it get swallowed by the endless scroll. It’s an ongoing hustle where everything feels like a product, and every post becomes just another thing to be consumed – liked, shared, reposted, then forgotten as quickly as it appeared.

It’s funny, though – social media isn’t just about showing who you are; it’s about showing who you want to be. Behind every late-night studio session, every track you make, there’s a part of you hoping it’ll cut through the noise. But the balance is tricky. Once you post it, it’s a gamble. Will the algorithm favor it? Will people even notice? It’s a strange mix of real and manufactured, where the hustle is palpable and the grind never stops. But does it even matter if you’re having fun, or is it just about the likes? After all, the goal is clear: more views, more followers, more hype – but what happens when the validation becomes the reward?

And here’s the kicker: as you keep hustling, posting, and scrolling, you start to wonder: How long can you keep this up? You’re not just playing for the likes anymore – you’re playing to keep up with the game itself. So ask yourself – after all the hashtags, all the shares, all the posts, is this really the game you want to play? 
And, if you’re being honest, is it even possible to hit ‘pause’ when everyone else is stuck on ‘go’?.

DJ SUN - Hustle & Post EP - OTIUM003 (Snippets)

DJ SUN is a Swiss-born, Berlin-based DJ who came up through the illegal rave scene. He soon moved on to throwing his own illicit
parties and honed his DJ skills, playing techno infused with everything from house to hip-hop and jazz. He heads up the Otium label in
collaboration with his best friend Rødig, and this new EP has a thought-provoking theme. In a world where every post, track, and photo is a strategic move for attention, ‘Hustle & Post’ oﬀers a satirical look at the relentless digital grind. Social media is a never-ending race for likes and validation, a game of curated moments that often leaves us questioning: is this really what we signed up for? This EP invites you to dive into the chaos, join the hustle, and decide for yourself if the endless scroll is worth the price of authenticity. There is a subtle menace to the lithe bass and eerie, wordless vocal sounds of opener 'Do It For the Gram' which shines a harsh light on the social media frenzy that dictates nearly every aspect of our lives—right down to which tracks get played and how each DJ set is filmed. 'Heatwave Hustler' keeps the hard-edged grooves coming and is all about that feverish rush hitting the dancefloor at its
boiling point. 'Highway Rituals' then reflects the excitement and tension of these clandestine raves under highway overpasses, tucked away in remote spots where the line between freedom and illegality is razor-thin. It's a textured techno workout wired up with fizzing modulations and built on heavy drums. The atmospheric 'Layers of Emptiness' cuts straight to the core of a modern techno scene fixated on quantity over quality. It has broody bass billowing below the deft percussion and quick, dubby drums that make you move. The last original, 'Plugged & Ready, ' captures that slow-motion moment before stepping into the DJ booth when the roar of the room fades to a low hum, and you lock onto the crowd’s energy. It's packed with fresh sound designs and plenty of percussive nuance. Klint is the first to remix and flips 'Highway Rituals' into well swung and quick-stepping techno cut with warped bass, Rødig's remix of 'Plugged & Ready' adds weight to the slamming kicks and packs out the mix with alien sound eﬀects, and Toobris takes 'Layers Of
Emptiness' into speedy, soulful and hypnotic techno territory.

DJ Sun's 'Hustle & Post' comes on Otium District on April 14th/28th 2025.

Hustle & Post

Do It For The Gram

Premiere: DJ SUN — Do It For The Gram [OTIUM003]

Highway Rituals reflects the excitement and tension of these clandestine raves under highway overpasses, tucked away in remote spots where the line between freedom and illegality is razor-thin.

Every beat, every kick drum reverberates against the concrete, as the night stretches on in a haze of adrenaline. You feel the pressure build when glances are exchanged, phones buzz with the exact coordinates, and everyone keeps an eye out for headlights that might signal the cops. It’s a ritual, a call to defiance, where each fleeting moment could tip the balance. Yet, amid the pounding sound and dust swirling around the dancers, there’s a sense of unity, as if the music itself becomes a shield against the world outside.

In Highway Rituals, every pulse captures this duality: the absolute freedom of an illicit rave and the constant threat of a Damocles sword hanging overhead. Can you feel the pressure ?

DJ SUN - Highway Rituals - OTIUM003

3h ride from classics like Everybody Loves the Sunshine to Rone, with of course some techno in between.

Outta time. Just flow.

Felt like the purest way to speak: music only.

Thx for the ride it was one for the books.

DJ SUN - Layers Of Emptiness (Toobris Remix) - Otium Records 

Layers of Emptiness cuts straight to the core of a modern techno scene fixated on quantity over quality. It’s the race to layer four decks at once, to push the BPM higher, to cram in as many drops and transitions as possible—all at the expense of genuine soul. There’s an eerie hollowness in these overstuffed sets, a frantic desire to be the loudest or the fastest rather than the most heartfelt. It’s a reminder that sometimes, in chasing all the layers and effects, we lose the raw spark that originally drew us to the music. Layers of Emptiness peels back those endless loops and reveals a stark truth: speed and complexity mean nothing without the pulse of real emotion.
