Fun fact: The CEO of Goldman also makes pretty bad EDM music

Maybe it's because I'm an amateur musician and hear some truly awful music, but by EDM standards, that's at least mediocre, not "bad".

The only thing you're missing is the requirement to hate anything a banking CEO produces, no matter the quality.

He could cure cancer, and angry people online will complain he contributed to overpopulation.

Oh I have nothing against the fact that he's a bank CEO, I just thought his music was pretty bland and generic. Maybe I was too harsh. You would think that bank CEOs would be the kind of person to not really have any hobbies or interests outside of work, so I guess it's kind of cool that he's putting himself out there like this

Well by bad I meant flavorless, generic, forgettable, so maybe mediocre would be the better term :)

honestly i like that he doesnt take him self too seriously and puts himself out there

The first ~25 minutes of D-Sol Mix October 2018 aren't bad.

Disclaimer: I listen to a lot of underground EDM semi-professionally so my tolerance might be too high.

Sounds pretty standard for the genre honestly. Give him a few years though and he'll start to experiment.

Or not. Who knows. My guess is this is a hobby for him.

> My guess is this is a hobby for him.

I’m not sure what would give you that idea.

He’s said in interviews he expects that when the EDM thing takes off he’ll transition out of his role at Goldman. Apparently he had to cancel a couple weeks of shows in Ibiza after COVID hit.

Apparently, there are not enough groupies for CEOs ;)

looks like he is just mixing, and most of the time with the help of another DJ?

Oh this is terrible.

I love it
