When I was in Oslo last week, my flight was delayed so I decided to hang around outside the venue for a bit instead of going straight to the airport. I got talking to some Norwegens and one of them asked me if I had heard of this Super Progressive guy and told me how great he was, I just bit my lip and kept quiet. It’s like that Fish56Octagon guy in the pyjamas, I don’t get it, how did they get such exposure?
Dry-Tinder that is right up there with the oddest things I’ve ever seen.
People feel connected to other people who share stories about something they both love. It attracts people who enjoy connecting about something.
Some of the best sales / business people in the world were always like this too - because they re often trained that telling stories (rather than stating facts) connects to the limbic system (the part of the brain involved in our behavioural and emotional responses)
I have a hunch this was a big part of Sasha’s success because only in recent years I found out he was often on camera and giving interviews (before social media) simply telling his story to the public. The stories were often the same.
This was very rare for DJs to do back then, most preferring just the music to do the talking.
It’s why so many people find these people but not the next DJ who was equally as good or better.
You tell your story about anything enough and it attracts like minds - greater in volume the longer you repeat it - to the eventual point that momentum takes over on its own and it’s as if everyone knows them / they make it look easy.
The telling stories element of success or, I guess today “gaining followers” is so often overlooked.
NasserAlazzawi Sasha’s success was because he played mint records and mixed them way better than pretty much everyone. Remember this was very niche and not at all mainstream back then.
Yes but I think you’re missing the point.
lol
NasserAlazzawi more than likely.

NasserAlazzawi He literally hated doing interviews, and could be notoriously difficult. I’m not sure where you got this “telling his story to the public” jazz from.

This @NasserAlazzawi. I don’t think his success had anything to do with TV/ MTV/ media. Mixtapes being passed around, word of mouth and live gigs.
