TRV$DJAM - Coachella 4
—-
DJ AM (very unfortunately) passed away today… It just feels right to post this.
While I was at a friend’s last night, playing beer pong and just hanging out, we were listening to the excellence that is TRV$DJAM, particularly the Coachella mixtape.
I wish I could say that I’m sad about this loss, but I don’t know the guy, and that tempers my emotion. A number of my friends and acquaintances were themselves friends or acquainted with Adam though; I only know him through their testimonies. And, if anything they’ve said about him, today or on any other day, is to be believed (which, in my opinion, it is), we lost another brilliant, and incredibly kind, artist today.
While I’m not “sad” right now, I feel a tribute is in order. Probably gonna spin this album — and especially this track, my favourite on it — all day tomorrow, along with the tunes he would often share on Twitter.
Here’s to a great mind, a great man, and a great soul. May he rock others who have passed on forever, wherever he may be.
