Mmmm... Living, trades, solitude and energy.
Things to make you go Mmmm…

"To encourage creativity by sharing more inspiration than any electronic artist.”
Three thoughts for your creativity and one on mine.
3 for you:
How to live.
"Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it." - Epictetus
What are you willing to trade?
“You
can
have anything you want in life. You just can’t have
everything
you want.
The game of life is trade-offs.” - Mark Manson
The dark side of ‘Monk Mode’.
“Don’t obsess for too long in solitude for personal growth or you’ll struggle to reintegrate.” - Chris Williamson
1 from me
Energy is More Valuable than Time.
“Everyone gets the same twenty-four hours.
Yet some people seem to create more, achieve more, and contribute more.
The difference often isn't time.
It's energy.
An hour spent focused, engaged, and fully present can outperform an entire day spent distracted.
Protecting your energy matters.
Who you spend time with matters.
What you consume matters.
How you rest matters.
Time is fixed.
Energy is renewable.
Manage it wisely.
Because the quality of your work depends far more on the energy you bring to it than the hours you spend doing it.”

I'm really looking forward to playing a special live DAWless set in Brighton’s Block garden on Saturday 25 July.
It's a little different to my usual shows - an intimate outdoor dancefloor, a relaxed summer atmosphere, and 90 minutes of deep minimal grooves performed live.
If you're local, I'd love to see you there. I'll share more details next week.
