In this episode of Rave Culture Cast, I wanted to have a very candid conversation about mental health in the EDM industry, particularly how grueling the life of DJ is and just in general how 2020 has impacted both artists and fans alike. TRIGGER WARNING - I am going to be discussing anxiety, depression and suicide. I really hope that by having these conversations we can start to work on a solution and bring awareness to those who are suffering 🖤
