Exactly. People need to raise their expectations about what a well paid professional dj is.

I'm not saying 7 hours is a walk in the park. You can get slightly crisp in the lower back and you are a little tired. But in no way it means you are a beast.

When I was living in California and London, I was working 50-60 hours a week. Take the plane Friday after work. Arrived in Montreal @ 10 pm. PLayed extended sets from 2 am to 10 am. Took the plane back and was off to work again fresh on Monday morning.

If you are in good health and not on drugs, it's not that hard to do, even if you take planes. Standing around and pushing CDs is just not physically that consuming.

Sasha used to have the most urinal friendly tunes, he'd drop 12 minute tracks and be off to drop a twosie if he wanted


Anyone ever hear the rumor about Deadmau5 pissing right on the floor of the booth because he was afraid someone would steal his tracks while he was in the bathroom?

were you spending those 50-60 hours per week constantly changing time zones and going through security checks at airports with never-ending line-ups?

i doubt it.

i get that they're professionals, but they are still human.

anyways, let's agree to disagree

Afterhours is a state of mind, but significantly, it's more a state of 'I don't mind'. A determined continuation, contentment and relief that 'it ain't over yet!' An injection of music into attitude and occasion which creates an emotional wave forth that isolates globally, a ringing harmonic, a signal to a like-minded collective that 'we are only us'.

FIGHT TO THE DEATH!
