Throughout DJ Fresh's 18-year career in the music industry, Daniel Stein better known as DJ Fresh has announced his retirement from DJing.
In a Facebook post, DJ Fresh wrote:
“To everyone who has experienced my music
I've decided to come off the road altogether after this year (Jan next year to be exact)
If you want to see me.. Come out to one of the gigs between now and then It's time to begin the next chapter of my life.. And it's way overdue. Need to think about my health and life Thanks so much everyone who has bought my records and supported my vision. Without you guys the music wouldn't exist.
I cannot continue to be part of this industry.. I hate everything about it. It's fake, soul destroying and promotes everything BUT experimentation and heartfelt emotion (which is what music means to me)
Long live Bad Company.
I just want to add that this is in no way related to my record label/labels who have all been fantastic (there are some good ones out there!)… Maybe one day I'll write a book, and explain it then.”
The legendary drum and bass producer has been suffering from health issues as of late and which seems to be a major deterring factor with this decision. The decision comes just days after he announced he was cancer free.
