Carpe That DM 😈 - Eric Prydz is a sell-out because of this, Metallica became the EDM 'Master of Puppets' at Tomorrowland, does this hangover supplement actually work, and much more...

Oh hey, how are ya - it’s Fourth Co.

Everyday, about 150,000 new songs are released to the world.

That means, there’s been over 798,403,224 tracks released since Rekordbox didn’t give me any problems.

Only a handful of those deserve your attention, so let’s pitter patter…

Steal This - my most played song this week (probablyšŸ‘‡):

Notable News - 4 things āœ…:

  1. Metallica’s sandman entered to save the Tomorrowland day - in a remarkably clutch last minute move, the famous heavy metal band donated their speakers to the Belgium festival. Metallica, currently on world tour, airlifted their life saving concert components overnight to rescue the Tomorrowland main stage after its catastrophic fire. I saw Metallica live at Lollapalooza back in 2015, those guys really know how to pull some strings as the master of puppets (if you listen to them, you’ll enjoy that pun).

  2. Eric Prydz is getting roasted alive over a pre-recorded set controversy - someone posted a grainy overhead picture of the iconic DJ’s live layout and alleged that Prydz is a sellout. With audio clearly coming out of a single mixer, and a 17-min countdown time stop on the CDJs, naturally this has sparked a hot debate on Reddit. I was looking through the thread and it was funny how I saw many posts are defending the pre-recorded argument because Prydz is a goat, so that means it’s okay. Typically, Reddit would be having a meltdown over this. Oh well, sucks to see even once-golden goose legends doing this.

  3. ā€œGurning Rave Guyā€ is alive and well, spotted at Tomorrowland - recreating the famous meme that we all know and love while enjoying a Charlotte de Witte techno set. Buddy’s jaw still looks like its about to dislocate to the point of no return…. and yet, he still finds a way to keep that thing on lock. Now in his 40s, his bugged-eyed, K-hole face, and wacky inflatable tube man arms are still having a rave ol time. Long live the Gurning rave king!

  4. FL Studio officially has incorporated AI to help users make songs - the music production software that 91% of all producers have cracked at one point (I just made that number up, but it’s probably not even that far off lol), has now directly integrated AI with 3 new tools. FL has ā€œalways been about getting ideas down quickly,ā€ and so these new updates will enhance the user experience to create faster without getting the in the way. Oh and this update is free to all existing owners. Ableton… the ball is in your court.

Quaint Quote of the Week āœļø:

ā€œEric Prydz on who the first audience is when creating his own musicā€

Need help preventing a hangover after a late night Bender?

We’ve all been there—the morning after a night out, when the fun catches up, and the hangiexty sets in. Your head’s in a boxing match and your stomach’s swirling around like a hot jacuzzi. You told yourself just ā€œ1 drink tonightā€ and all of the sudden you’re in some random kitchen at 4am šŸ’€

Hangover’s hit hard… and they hit even harder when you get older. So why are you still doing NOTHING about it??

The cure: that’s where the Bender Extender comes inšŸ‘‡

Your hangover’s worst enemy: it’s packed with natural liver loving vitamins & minerals, Mother Earth’s green ingredients, and activated charcoal to accelerate the detoxification process of removing alcohol’s deadly toxins from your body.

This stuff will literally revive you, so act wisely!

⚔Best way to take the Bender Extender:

  1. Take both capsules with a cup of water

  2. Chug some water after boozing it all night

  3. Wake up feeling pretty damn good

  4. Go on with your day... or be a degenerate like me and extend your bender

Still rawdogging your hearing without Earplugs at live shows?

Have you heard (pun intended)… Martin Garrix and Alesso both suffer from significant hearing loss (aka Tinnitus).

The solution: buy some half decent ear plugs and save your hearing!

I’ve used Eargasm’s Earplugs for 2.5 years while DJing for hundreds of hours.
