Why Your DJ Style Is Written in Your DNA

I was listening to the excellent Crossfader Podcast recently when an artist caught my attention. One of their students had quite a meteoric rise, as a DJ, in a relatovely short time. When interviewed she explained that she’d lived in three different countries, and that constant change gave her the confidence to just jump straight into DJing without hesitation. It’s a compelling story — but if you know the Kolbe Index, you’ll see there’s more...

Why Won’t They Come? — The Grassroots Riddle

Electronic music has never been louder. From Ibiza mega-festivals to warehouse takeovers turned “immersive experiences,” the genre is doing just fine at the top. The big players—backed by Venture Capital or Private Equity investors—are creating polished events with global reach. But zoom in, and a different picture emerges. Grassroots events—the ones that birth new sounds, strange ideas, and future headliners—are struggling to pull even a modest crowd. And that’s weird. Because it’s never been easier to create...

The Subculture of Social Media (for DJs Who Hate Social Media)

Dance music is born from subculture. Underground. Alternative. Marginal. Expressive. These words are stitched into the DNA of the scene — they aren’t add-ons, they’re its source code. But here’s the paradox: DJs — the very people shaping and soundtracking this world — often recoil at the idea of expressing themselves on social media. The idea of being "alternative" in a digital context feels cringeworthy to many. The need for attention? Even worse. I’ve lost count...

Fabric & Toolroom: Real > Reach

What I Learned in Two Hours at the Toolroom Conference I didn’t get the full day – planes, trains, and life – but I did make it to Toolroom’s conference at Fabric. And honestly? Even a couple of hours was enough to hit me with some serious insights. The space was buzzing. Labels, artists, producers, promoters, future-of-music types. A proper stew of energy, ideas, and the usual Fabric magic. Here’s what got me thinking...

🚨 Scribey’s Ibiza Takeover — 7 July 2025 🚤☀️

One boat. 100 free souls. Let’s go! This summer, I’m jumping aboard the legendary Ibiza Boat Club to deliver a sun-drenched house set in the middle of the Mediterranean — and I want you there when it all kicks off. Monday, 7th July 2025 — mark it, circle it, shout it into your calendar. This is one of the island’s most iconic floating parties, and I’ll be spinning on one of two back-to-back voyages: Like a yacht...

What DJs Can Learn From Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett—the most famous investor in modern history—just officially retired. Known for his decades-long partnership with Charlie Munger, Buffett wasn’t just a stock picker. He was a master of mindset, discipline, and long-term thinking. And although he couldn’t be further from the dancefloor (and probably wouldn't be seen near a Funktion-One speaker), there’s a lot that DJs—especially those early in their journey—can learn from the way Buffett built his empire. Here are four key principles from...

Identity Issues as a DJ

In recent conversations with both emerging and established DJs, two major identity challenges keep coming up: Musical Identity and Visual Identity. Whether you're just starting out or have been on the circuit for years, these issues can shape — or shake — your sense of self as an artist. 1. Musical Identity: OR vs AND Thinking Most of us come into DJing with a deep love for a specific genre. House, Techno, DnB, Afro — whatever...

Stay nervous.

I just listened to a brilliant podcast between Will Clarke and headliner DJ Nic Fanciulli—someone who’s been in the game for decades. They cover a lot. The ups and downs of the music industry. The grind of running a label. The nostalgia of those early Ibiza days. How dance music has evolved, how vinyl is making a comeback, and how community and collaboration are more vital than ever. https://www.youtube.com/embed/hA2Aju0wPmk But what hit me hardest was this: Nic still...

DJ Imposter Syndrome: How to Break Through

“We’re introverts who like to make noise.” That line came up in one of our first coaching sessions. We all laughed—but it stuck. Because it’s true. DJs aren’t always the people shouting loudest in the room. In fact, many of us are the quiet observers. We’re sensitive to mood, to detail, to subtle transitions. We’re feelers with deep emotional range. And yet, we choose to stand in the middle of a crowd and take responsibility for...
