Mmmm... Deferring, pace, persistence and legacy
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:
The cost of deferring.
“One of the best pieces of advice I ever got:
If you want a calmer life, you need to address small problems while they’re still small.
The cost of dealing with an issue rarely gets cheaper with time.
Procrastination turns uncomfortable things into unavoidable things.” - Blake Burge
Progress.
"All really great things are happening in slow and inconspicuous ways." - Leo Tolstoy
Keep pushing.
"A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it." - G. K. Chesterton
1 from me
Legacy Is Built in Ordinary Moments.
“When people think about legacy, they often imagine grand achievements.
But most legacies aren't built in extraordinary moments.
They're built in ordinary ones.
A conversation that changes someone's perspective.
A habit maintained for years.
A piece of work that inspires another person to begin.
Small actions have long shadows.
What feels insignificant today may influence someone long after you've forgotten about it.
The challenge isn't doing one remarkable thing.
It's showing up consistently enough for the small things to matter.
Legacy isn't built through occasional greatness.
It's built through repeated contribution.”
If you’re around this Saturday
This Saturday I'll be performing a 90-minute live set in the garden at CRIB by Block in Brighton, joined by Jay Hill and McNamara on DJ duties.
It's my second live show of the summer and one I'm especially looking forward to - an intimate outdoor setting, deep minimal grooves, and (hopefully!) a beautiful sunset before the music moves inside.
If you're around Brighton this weekend, it'd be great to see you.
