DJ (with Swookie Monster)

When was the last time you lived in the moment? Like, really, really, just lived in the moment. Did it by any chance happen the last time you were on a dance floor? It sure did for me! There’s something about listening to great music and pretending you’re starring in Soul Train that makes you forget about everything else. No cares, no worries. It’s just you, the music, and the dance floor. As far as I’m concerned, that pretty much makes the DJ some sort of transcendental Zen Sherpa. In today’s episode, Ben Anderson (aka Swookie Monster), tells us all about what it’s like to be a purveyor of presence, and gives us advice for how we can get started DJing as well. So long Eckhart Tolle, hello funky bass line.
