On doing nice things for people who are kind to you:
Last year I asked my gym manager, Devon, if he liked jungle because he was always playing excellent dnb when I went. We started chatting and it turns out he’s probably he biggest jungle fan I’ve ever met and was there at the beginning of it all in the 90s.
Since then he’s always played my mixes in the gym and encouraged me to enter DJ contests. He even said once it would be a conspiracy if I didn’t win my first comp for
@heavysonics 🤣 he’s always been kind to me and
@speakerlouis, and we’ve been sending him music and taken him to events since. He’s become more than just a gym manager. He is now a dear friend of ours.
I was absolutely gutted when I found out he was leaving his job at the gym, and didn’t find out early enough to get him a leaving gift. So today I went on a rather wild mission to get him a signed copy of
@archives.nia new record because he’s always said he really loves what she does. I didn’t have a ticket and had to wait for almost two hours to get in and snag the last record they had at rough trade, but it was all worth it.
All this to say: do nice things for people who matter and support you! ♥️ big ups our guy Devon, and thanks for supporting me always.
