Better late than never. 5 years and 3 cities later I'm pleased to announce the revival of The DJ Trike project through my new venture @publicsoundsys 🔊 Inspired by mobile DJ and sound system culture, bicycles, public art, and urban design, PSS is a service and platform dedicated to transforming passive spaces into collective places by creating communal experiences, interventions, and activations using music as a social connector. . Since its scrappy beginnings in 2010 in Vancouver, The DJ Trike has been a passion project of mine that I never would have imagined to still be working on nearly a decade later. The friendships, experiences, lessons, and creative energy it has given me throughout the years have been priceless. Custom designing and hand-building the new frame and container system has been an epic physical and emotional journey, a mostly solitary one spent in many workshops, but full of new learnings and skills, late nights and weekend hustling, and successes and failures. The biggest lessons I’ve learned from all this was to not undervalue my creative instinct and vision, to not be afraid to take on challenges that force me out of my comfort zone, realizing the true value of taking time to invest in myself and my ideas and seeing it as not a selfish act, but a restorative and empowering one, understanding that if you have an idea that’s strange or uncommon, there will always be people in the world that will understand and connect with it, and lastly, that no one will bring my ideas to life except me. . As you can imagine, I'm excited to bring it back into the wild and reconnect. If you happen to be in San Francisco, I will be officially launching Public Sound System with an open DJ session at Mission Dolores Park this Saturday, July 27th starting at 2pm. Please follow @publicsoundsys for future events, more images, and multimedia content documenting @thedjtrike new life and journey.
