Our fantasy of a global dancefloor where all tribes come together™? Unease creeps over me every time I see the image of today™s DJs offered on social media. Festivals whose lineups look like a stack of labels at a shopping mall, the same 500 robots bobbing their heads in every live stream, the rigid drone of cut & paste, beardy bros and tacky influencers buying likes + views + careers produced by others in the shadows. Identity politics signalling diversity, but delivering only auditory monotony. It feels a lot like the TV news  you never know who or what is real these days. Anybody can do this, right? It™s no coincidence that most events now resemble populist rallies of certain politicians. Thousands stare in one direction, raise their arms and scream on cue at the sound of nothing happening. What™s the message? Are the masses always right? Who needs dictators when the so-called party has become a ubiquitous loop of conformity and commodi?cation? Who still cares about sharing a real dancefloor with other humans which you can meet again? Some of us, maybe, somewhere. No branding, no sel?es  this world isn™t worth living in if people can˜t feel free for a moment, just for the joy of it and the spirit inside. Don˜t go lose this dream, baby. Yours truly, Danny the Dancer
