Renato shares his experience of the benefits of diverse perspectives, his advice on building self-confidence, and why the culture of future employers matters.
And as Renato said, "We know people's potential can change when they are sufficiently supported. https://lnkd.in/dVPkCCf8

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 808 & BENKYO RADIO 808. As you may remember, the TR-808 was a very important drum machine. It was a godsend for millions of musicians and producers. It’s a part of our history. Here’s a documentary about it.

LIGHTS has released a new album called dEd. It’s very good, just like P3P. She also released an album entitled Warehouse Summer in memory of i_0. (988 Suicide & Crisis hotline). Great music, look into it.

It appears that Trump did not stay in jail. It appears that he was just booked, and he’s casually going around the country yet again. I’m tired of this shit-show. I just want some free time to enjoy my COMPUTER MUSIC / FUTURE MUSIC magazines, and spend time on FL STUDIO / ABLETON LIVE / LOGIC PRO. But these conditions make them almost impossible. I need a short sabbatical in France, I swear to God. Please end this Trump nightmare. I know it has been impossible to put him in jail for being a mobster, but you can put him away on tax crimes.

The whole planet is busy wanting to dance to Electronic Dance Music. Did you know that even Daft Punk are getting back together just for COACHELLA? Let us enjoy ourselves, Goddamnit.

Until Next Time!
