Moment of appreciation! Nature and friends go together pretty well! Multi/no -faith, celebrating a pagan rite! Burned fingertips, charcoaled corn …and today a sore head!

Pictures stolen from group chat!

Love you all!

Time!

Time is a brutal, it gives but equally takes away. Infinity is still only a concept we can discuss but never fully understand. We are here only for a moment, and yet we can waste it away…

An update info on my tutoring at . Due to a major issue at the backend of their website, teachers and students alike were sending each other emails that were never replied to, simply as they had been lost somewhere in the metaverse. As we have now rectified the issue I will be offering 5 people who want to take my 3-hours package, 1 free hour of studio time. Please DM for more info.

This Friday night, as part of Volt London I will be doing something a lil bit different. Taking over the smallest room, the White Studio, I will dig deep into the many styles of my music selections. Your support would mean a lot to me - be part of my journey!

It’s such a humbling experience watching the journey of the people who had taken up my DJ lessons. Seeing their passion translated into a visible (audible) progress gives me a new purpose, something that my life has been missing recently. Thank you to all the past and current students for taking up my lessons.

Whether you are a beginner or at much more advanced level, I can surely teach you a thing or two. Mixing on 3 CDJ’s, basics of theory, critical listening… or is it that you want to try mixing the ‘hard way’ using turntables and have an access to them please get in touch! £35p/h or £90 for 3h.

Next Saturday, the 30th, we'll dance and celebrate our struggles and successes, so come along! I will be launching the portal from 23:00. As always at the Warehouse E1 .

Summer ends. Memories last…

04/09/2023

Summer is nearly over but the sun isn’t shying away from sharing more of its warmth. After speaking out about my ADHD ‘self-diagnosis’, I have received quite a few messages from you wanting to see how my journey progresses. With a helping hand I’ve obtained meds that have been hugely helpful in maintaining some the ‘impossible’ routines.
This also led me to identifying some of the more regular patterns that I wanted to share, especially if you struggle daily you might want to understand that hyperattentive and inattentive types are not finely defined:
1. Finding it difficult to prioritise tasks that don't offer instant dopamine gratification
2. My aspiration to maintain a diary has never materialised; they sit untouched and blank
3. Frequently annoying others by prematurely completing their sentences
4. Frequently interrupting ongoing conversations
5. Losing track of the conversation's flow
6. Frequently abandoning new projects
7. Falling into unproductive rabbit holes, often related to trivia
8. Experiencing random bouts of itchiness
9. Struggling with sensory overload
10. Frequently repeating words and sentences

Whoop!

You know that saying about the third time's the charm? Well, forget it! Our long-time collaborator and friend returns ...yes, for the fourth time, I Hate Models at the helm with a special extended set in the Warehouse. But that's not all, supported by Alekzandra and Ekata, with Pablo Bozzi, Antonio De Angelis and Dharma taking up the Black Studio, while Polanski with his debut all-nighter at the White Studio.

Today marks exactly one month away from London, travels bring a whole load of a new perspective on life. But I am ready to finally sleep in my bed…

📣 LONG READ 📣

So, I’ve worked out that I am not neurotypical. This is my personal realisation, and I believe that the sooner I acknowledge what I am, the earlier I can take proactive steps towards self-improvement. It's like uncovering a hidden truth and accepting it as my new normal, paving the way for a better, healthier life. It's almost akin to coming out.

While I still await official confirmation through NHS procedures, I have but quite possibly some other dysphoria. During my childhood, I experienced extreme nervousness and restlessness, which resulted in a diagnosis of a condition called "nervous stomach syndrome" (🙄). Note this was during the final days of communism in Poland, and ADHD wasn't a recognised term at the time. Without treatment, I have struggled throughout my life, and my self-medicating with various potions was an attempt to alleviate the tensions I encountered at every turn. Now, you might think we all have our quirks, but when your own actions seem to work against you, each step feels like treading the same ground, despite knowing the consequences… only now, as the spectrum stigma is starting to slowly dissolve. I was able to finally understand myself.

However, I'm determined to embrace this reality and learn from it. My goal is to hack my brain and become a better version of myself. I want to avoid the rollercoaster of manic highs and subsequent lows. Given my predisposition to depression, it's crucial to address untreated ADHD and prevent potential future complications. At present, ADHD greatly impacts my daily life, hindering my ability to follow a consistent and successful routine. Consequently, it has affected my financial situation. Understand that my self-diagnosis stems from a desire to improve my life, boost self-esteem, and enhance overall quality of life. Your support and understanding mean the world to me. But, to make things straight: when you see me next, I am still the same person I was when we last met, don’t change the way you are around me, but perhaps you can reflect on the reasons I have acted in a certain way.

Help me to create an environment where we can learn from one another and foster empathy.

This Saturday Volt London lands at the concrete walls of E1! We have come a long way and it's the journey that makes this project worthwhile. Standing at the steering wheel of this behemoth project means that myself and De Angelis take on the many responsibilities running an event of this scale requires. All the artworks and social media strategy is designed by myself. The theme for the artwork I have picked is iridescence; the glimmering light shinning in the dark in our sonic universe.

New podcast is now archived on Netil Radio's Mixcloud. Thank you ROUGH for hosting me.

Born in deep rural Poland, Polanski's music draws inspiration from the organic sounds of nature conveyed in the form of musical language of our digital era. His style is known to be eclectic and indeed his DJ approach is sensitive to particular venues and club nights. The name derives from the Old E...
