SLAVEd to EDM

2014 is the year of the blog! My name is Hassan Sabbagh, aka (HSM) In my past I've played many roles in the electronic dance music scene in California, as a party promoter, DJ, production to VJ'ing and even starting my own nonprofit organization.. This is my story.

Why RAVE Nonprofit? 🌐📉

Each and every one of us do what we’re passionate about but do we really do what’s best?

Every production could be a stage to improve upon our communities that we live under. To take something and make it worthwhile, to give us meaning to dance in the night, to celebrate it.

We waste each passing day where we don’t plan for the future. We have no real purpose or meaning to persevere.

That’s why I stand firm on action to change our dance community to something more. In the assist of our peers, friends, and family. When the time of need comes we will be prepared.

How can we sit idly by while we fall deeper in a downward spiral not only us but our entire community itself.

How are YOU, PLUR? 👍

Peace, love, unity, & respect A common phrase of this generation.

My question to all of you is exactly how?

How is this peaceful, loving, united, and respectful?

In actuality, it’s not. It’s an illusion that we feel necessary to give it. It’s an excuse too but ultimately your inner society has done nothing for the world around us!

Your all gimmicked into spending your hard earn cash for a night of release and enjoyment.

While providing no real benefit to anyone, now don’t get me wrong their are great artists out there but the management is horrid.

While you do nothing to provide a peaceful, loving, united, & respectful environment. Your money is pocketed for profit you promote a dog eat dog world.

Where becoming a DJ has never been so hard & being a promoter has never been so easy while the attendee’s are used as convenient cash cows.

I’ve worked plenty of productions at many different venue’s that already get paid handsomely for their service but they proceed to find more ways to squeeze more cash. For example disabling water fountains that are beside vending machines. It’s more common than you think, so common it’s not even unusual.

Why do we call this Plur?

I’m a firm believer of nonprofit events and I stand alone trying to make some changes in the place I call home..

Your friend always - hsm

🌃🎫Life of Monster massive 2009

Growing up in the Californian EDM scene made me see things that could tarnish your faith in humanity completely. I was a young about seventeen or eighteen years old at the time when I began attending large festivals including the 2009 monster massive event in LA.

This particular event though the acts were amazing the environment and the people were not, throughout the night I saw girls drugged out carried away by their boyfriends.

The line to the event became restless and started picking and tossing the fences soon after the event started.

I saw sex groups, filthy human beings with nothing but lust and sexual desire on their minds.

Music was just background noise at this point to these event attendees.

My best friend found himself disgusted with what he thought was a beautiful gathering of amazing individuals, while we did meet others not as sex crazed it was a rough event to go through.

This was the night my friends and I forever removed our kandi and swore to never wear another piece again. .. 2-2

Epilogue :📜: past, present, & future

Just to state: The year is 2014, in early January I’ll be 23 coming June. Supposably a substantial year in my career this will be the start of my blog but in order to put things into perspective I must tell my story at a earlier point in time where my morales and goals were much different than the person I am today. 1-1
