HIGHLIGHT OF 2014

Joining Twitter - @therealcyclone and seeing a whole new side of all my friends – and various DJs, MCs, etc.

PREDICTION FOR 2015

Hip hop, especially in the US, will become more political and start confronting some of its more regressive aspects - such as sexism. The contra-EDM movement will continue with more experimental music. Techno will be reborn.
