last night a DJ saved my life

my latest essay is out now! i (politely) critique the current state of DJ culture as a vinyl DJ and overall just a gyal who loves to dance! i also share 4 resources for music lovers on how to avoid AI generated music and find music online without algorithms.

u know di rules—link pon di biooooo 🔗

p.s. i have a supernatural horror short story i wrote of the same title that i’ll be sharing 🔜

i found this madonna interview right before i finished this essay and it perfectly captured my thesis

music and dance share a sacred bond but ppl swear it’s not that deep

hang the DJ!

if you read the essay you’ll find 5 really fun websites to play around with to find new music. i promise you won’t be disappointed! by @theellesdee

shades of 🆒

half record store, half beauty parlor—the artform studio brings beauty and melody together in one place. as a vinyl DJ its only fitting that this is the place i’d get my hair done!

over the years, we’ve achieved my signature look and the perfect honey blonde. we decided to go for a blunt bob this spring 🌸

how i listen to music—the analogue way. withour algorithms.

its friday night and we’re listening to marving gaye. there couldn’t be a more perfect combination.

finally (almost) settled into my new place and still have a LOT more decorating to do as i continue to build my dream hi-fi sound system. stay tuned for the journey! :)

photos shot on film by @_taylurtakesphotos. very grateful for the beautiful recap!!!

#sexandthecity #satc #carriebradshaw #samanthajones #thingstodoinla

we started with S1E1 and watched 4 episodes.

we’ll continue next week with S1E5.

it was lovely watching carrie and her antics in a room full of 20 & 30 something year old babes.

all the ladies were SO fab!

we drank cosmos 🍸

and espresso martinis 🍸

“i couldn’t help but wonder…” 💭

“cheers!” 🥂

“can i have a cosmopolitan please?” 🍸

all of this accompanied by an all vinyl soundtrack on an incredible sound system 🔊

the dinner menu at semi-tropic is too die for!

my favorites are the wings and fries. there’s a delicious mediterranean spin to the entire menu 🫦

*here we are hyper-analyzing the show*

all smiles over here!

don’t miss the next one—07.01.2026 from 7-11P at the semi tropic! taken in The Semi-Tropic by @theellesdee
