Ever wondered what it takes to juggle streaming, DJing, and content creation all at once? Pull up a chair, because this is me, Rilaxin, giving you the unfiltered backstage pass to my world.
Morning Rituals and Mindset
I kick off every day with a quick meditation session. Even ten minutes of breathing exercises helps me stay centered before I face the glow of screens and the thump of bass. After that, it’s a green smoothie and a scroll through the chat communities, keeping my finger on the pulse of what you all are buzzing about.
Creativity doesn’t just hit me out of nowhere. I journal three ideas before breakfast: a new stream theme, a remix I’ve been itching to drop, and one wild content experiment. Writing these down cements them in my mind, so when I’m live or in the studio, I’ve got a roadmap for innovation.
Gearing Up for the Mix
When I’m about to spin tracks, gear matters. Here’s my current setup:
Pioneer DDJ-1000 controller;
Technics SL-1200 turntables (for vinyl scratches);
Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones;
Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface;
Dual ASUS monitors for track waveforms and live chat.
This rig strikes the perfect balance between analog warmth and digital precision. Every piece is a creative tool, and I’ve tweaked my workflow so my hands barely think, they just move.
Going Live: Streaming on Twitch
Stepping into the Twitch arena, I treat every stream like a mini-festival. From the opening track drop to the final “thanks for hanging out,” it’s all about curation and connection. I start with a weekend highlight reel, best chat moments, epic fails, and community shout-outs. That warm-up sets the tone before I dive into DJ sets or creative challenges.
Interaction drives me. When someone drops a song request, I weave it into my mix, shout out the requester, and make sure they feel heard. That’s how you turn viewers into a tight-knit crew. Beyond music, I run occasional live Q&A sessions on production tips, gear recommendations, and mental health in the hustle.
Studio Sessions: Crafting Original Beats
Once the stream ends, I slip into studio mode. Here’s how a typical session unfolds:
I sample a vinyl record or field recording for texture.
I sketch a drum pattern in Ableton Live.
I layer synth lines and bass grooves, tweaking each sound.
I record vocal chops or collaborate with guest artists online.
I bounce a rough mix, send it to my Discord community for feedback.
Iterating with real-time feedback has elevated my tracks. It’s not just me behind the faders anymore—it’s all of us co-creating sonic experiences.
Community Vibes
The best part of this ride is you. Whether you’re in my live chat, dropping feedback on Patreon, or vibing to my tracks on Spotify, you’re the reason I push boundaries. I host monthly virtual meetups so we can swap stories, recommend new artists, and keep this community thriving.
What’s Next for Rilaxin
I’m working on an EP slated for early next year, blending house, drum ’n’ bass, and experimental breaks. Beyond music, I’m developing a creator-focused livestream course, teaching you how to build an audience, monetize your passion, and avoid burnout.
