Yeah, cold meds, whiskey and beer do not mix. 3/10 do not reccomend. Anyway, I'm heading home to unplug a little for a bit... gotta work on getting meowingtons simulator out, finish some new tracks... shit like that. Ofc I'll keep y'all updated on here... I just don't want to systematically crash the fuck out at a show. somethings fucken off lately, I'm not fucken enjoying playing these big stupid festivals like I used to. It's fucken boring or something, or I'm just wayyyyy too irate or pissed off at something.

I have no fucking clue to be honest, but yeah. No immediate plans to crash and burn, so I'll just take a step back and hit the reset. Maybe check into some kinda therapy. No clue, just so fucking irritable lately.

Andrew Werdin

James Piworski

We respect you bo55 ❤️

Zannette

Thank you for the update. I just had a big crash myself. Turns out I suppress shit. Rest and Reset would be great. Love ya man.

emmau5

I knew something was off, not just a bender, it was annoying me when people were saying bro's having a blast and laughing etc. Right narkymau5?? We were worried. Take care and rest up. We need you in good health and good mind. More importantly you need you to be all good.

Jaxxattacks

You sounded awesome. Who cares if you got shitfaced fuck anyone who says differently

Possible Canadian

Hey man, I'm proud of you anyways. Shit happens. Do what you feel is best for you right now and lean on your people. I'm around rooting for you. I just got through a big situation myself. I know we're not close but if you want to talk or bitch or fuck around, I'm not far. Spend some chill time with the cats too 🫶🏽 they'll help.

Leif The Viking

You're what's important! Glad you're doing what you need to do for you!!!

Nabroc

Just be careful Joel! Quitting smoking is hard dude. You got this shit. Don't worry about the rest of the world. Therapy might be a good solution! I highly reccomend it! It's helped me in the past, it can definitely help you if you feel like something bigger is going on. We love you dude. Stay cool.

Tom

Go find a good show to watch and take the time to do exactly what makes you happy. Maybe start switching up your set list at shows? Make it more interesting for yourself when you’re up there DJing? Idk. Be you dude. Take some time. I’m sure quitting the cigs isn’t helping either. Rest up and feel better man

Nerd, there is nothing wrong with you….ok Chicken Alfredo

Hey man sorry you're going through it. Look into a supp called Sam-e. It's an absolutely incredible substance that raises all four neurotransmitters naturally, and incredibly effectively. It can really ease feelings of irritability and not feeling right with the world. Even medical docs in Italy/Europe often give it as a first line defense against low moods etc before any actual meds because it can work so well. Perhaps get some nic gum also if feel the need, to ease through the quitting process. Hope ur feeling more yourself soon! 🙏

Also- therapy can be a great option. If you have any question about it and the various types, would be happy to answer them. I hope you get your head straightened out and find happiness and fulfillment again.

You’ve been on the go for a long time, doing so many shows, that’s enough to put me on edge, not getting time to be in my little safe zone to zen out. Too many people can just be overstimulating af, I don’t know how you do it as much as you do. I’ve tried therapy, what helps more…my cats, sitting by the pool, writing to get the head trash out, and as cliche as it sounds, mental health walks. We’re all here for you. Sending love and vent to us as much as you need to. 🖤

DystopIan

Don't worry. Alcohol is heavy s***, but usually situations like this are a once and never again type of thing. Probably just your system trying to find reasons why to smoke again. I hope you did get some other source of nicotine before stopping. I had crazy verbal fights with random people who triggered me the first weeks whenever i forgot to where my sticker. Good luck and vibes!

Liz Apple

We all need time to step away from something that isn't bringing us joy. Sometimes a little time away is all we need. Hope you find your peace! ♡

jodi

I bet Dina could help you navigate these new waters a bit. From what I've seen, she seems to have good perspective on life struggle stuff and could probably share some wisdom. Just a thought. And I think a lot of us would rather you do what you want at your own shows. Fuck big festivals.

da5ic

you might not like festivals like you used to because of burnout? Looking forward to new tracks and meowingtons simulator, hope you feel better soon!

emmau5

Perhaps rethinking the big festivals all goes hand in hand with the catalogue sale. Like doing only what you want now in terms of releases, but also doing only what you really want in terms of gigs. You've said you're still excited to produce and gig, but with space at home you can figure out what you still want and now don't want anymore. The studio time in May sounds well timed. And like everyone says we'll be on here when you want to vent :)

Lyric Caballero

So sorry to hear that b055 maybe you just need an actual break from gigs and such and focus on you and mental health plus quitting smoking can also be part of the reason you feel that way. But if anything therapy could help it could be past pain and trauma that’s clouding you and resurfacing now ya know and be the reason you don’t know what you’re feeling ya know I know that was my case till I sat down to really ponder on what was going on with me us humans we have a thousand different thoughts coming through our head and we must sit still to let them pass through our mind and understand it then let it go. I meditate alot so that’s also helped me with knowing what’s going on with me although sometimes I still don’t know what’s going on with me lmaoo

Leileimau5

Its ok Joel. We love you no matter what and are here to support you no matter what you do. If you feel something isn't for you don't do it . I enjoyed the set nonetheless and you have been in my thoughts and we are sending you all the good vibes and energy you deserve. The horde will always have your back you know who your number ones are and thank you for all you do for us and keeping us posted. Don't want to sound too mushy but we love you so very much ! 🤗 and aggreed cold meds and alcohol don't mix i can 2nd that one for sure but hope you feel better soon ! We are still so proud of you. ♡ Leileimau5

Mykroft

Joel you're just like everyone else in 2025, rest up, shrug it off, and stay healthy.

Nick

That’s just the hangover guilt. Take that break man, rest up, it’s all good!

Austin Salmon

I mean, you just quit cigarettes my dude it’s natural for you to feel irritable and your mental to be all over the place right now that’s something that was a huge part of your life for years. You’re not gonna feel better overnight, but eventually you will. You got this.

Corrin Campbell

Peanut slobber and video game sessions improve life by 85%. They’ve done studies.

Detroitmau5

Don’t worry man lots of us enjoyed it and were also watching that crowd in disgust. 10-15 years ago crowds were engaged with the music and lived by the beat now they gotta capture that shit on their phone for an insta post and some likes. I agree you shouldn’t black out on stage but you did go cold turkey drank whiskey and went against the beer before liquor never been sicker. Why don’t you try some smaller more grassroot festivals like Movement in Detroit, Electric Forest, people that appreciate your music and put the phone down and just go into trance with your music. I’m not even a music producer like you and I’m seriously pissed off whenever I look at the rave scene and what it’s turned into especially perpetuated by these big brand name festivals. It’s annoying seeing someone else go on stage and mix your music and twist knobs and call that Djing. I don’t think many can write chords like you or polish and master songs the way you do, it’s very unique and nobody can duplicate it. I for one hate BROSTEP seems like any moron that can cut and paste samples in fruity loops or abelton and arrange them accordingly can be a fvcking headliner at any of these shows, I’d be annoyed as fuck too, Gen Z does not help and I don’t give a shittttt what any of you think about that because it’s the truth. Us millennials didn’t ruin the rave culture. Let’s go back to 90’s techno please

Hi_Friend74

Don’t beat yourself up man. We’ve all fucked up on the booze so don’t be too hard on yourself. I had a heavy night last night at a jungle thing in Nottingham n feeling delicate today. Just gonna drink plenty of tea, eat well n chill with my cats. Btw you’re doing really well quitting the cigs! 😊

Narkymau5 aka d0min4trix aka Jane

Like emmau5 said, I instinctively knew something was off and it weren't just too much booze. Been following you on all the various platforms for too fkn long not to be able to read your vibe...even though some in the Facebook community were tryna tell me I was overreacting 🙄 Anyways, I've been in your shoes & although the alcohol will skew things, I reckon you know yourself well enough by now to recognise when shits not right. Do what you gotta do and don't force anything. Tell management you need some down time if you gotta. You've had some big stuff happen in your career this past year or 2. Enough to make anyone's head spin! 😖
