Sjamsoedin on his DAYCARE curation

We sat down with Sjamsoedin to take a look at his massive DAYCARE weekender curation. We take a look at some of his inspirations, the effect of COVID on young artist and more.


How did you get in touch with electronic music and when was the moment you decided you wanted to create electronic music?


At 13,14 I was into hiphop. Wu-Tang, Nas, Stetsasonic, Biggie, all the usual suspects. I’ve always considered hiphop to be electronic music.

It’s made with samplers and drummachines and it’s the combination of syncopated rhythms and the creative technical part that attracted me.

I hardly listened to the lyrics. I bought an MPC (sampler) when I was 18. I don’t really remember it to be a decision, it felt more like something that just logically happened after being in bands as a drummer and messing around with tapes and turntables.


As DJ and producer you’ve been in the game for a while, how do you stay inspired?


I try to never do the same thing for too long. On the producing side, I buy and try a lot of musical equipment. Every piece has its qualities, easter eggs and learning curve.

Exploring a synth or FX-unit can be magic and open up my mind to new ideas, new sounds or new combinations with other gear. It’s never-ending.

As a dj, I try to keep an open mind and really listen to what’s going on.


How does it feel to return to BRET? Does a club setting influence your artist choice versus for example a festival setting?


Can’t wait to be back at Bret! Because we all had a 2 year break I think everyone has been building energy inside and even though the world is still a fucked up place at the moment I think it’s time to release some of it.

I’ve never programmed a festival to be honest so this is the closest I got so far. I think you could copy this exact lineup to an outside stage with a huge array of woofers at a festival and it would work just the same ;)


How did COVID and the lockdowns influence the rise of upcoming artists?


Well.. not being able to play is obviously very shit. Every artist needs gigs to get better.

Also, I’ve seen people close to me that were just getting momentum having their dreams crushed quite a few times. It’s really sad, but I tell them; just keep at it, at some point Covid will be over and you will get your chance.


What was your inspiration for this particular curation?


It’s a mix of upcoming talent and some quite established people. Some of them are great friends, some of them I’ve just met.

I’ve tried to make a nice mix of 4x4 and broken/break beats. I’m 100 percent sure everybody will deliver! I’m breaking my brain trying to figure out when I can get some sleep myself, because I want to hear all sets!

I came across your blog. Was really impressed. Your post was easy to understand for someone, like me. You explained things in a way that made sense.


I work for Oscorm Digital, an IT company that provides services. One of our services is Human AI Hybrid Workforce. This service helps businesses run smoothly and work efficiently with the help of digital solutions.


The founder of a 12-person company doesn't have an HR department. Not employing a content writer. Not having a content writer. They ship five times faster than companies five times their size. There is no magic potion nor hustle culture. The gamble is on a Human AI Hybrid Workforce, enabling human judgement and computer speed.

This was an interesting perspective on daycare curation and thoughtful development. It’s fascinating to see how attention to detail can shape better environments for children. The ideas shared here highlight the importance of creativity, structure, and care in early learning spaces. It really makes you think about how impactful these choices are for growth and learning. A well-written and insightful piece overall. Thanks for sharing such valuable thoughts. laser book 247 login and explore more inspiring insights like this today!

This thread kind of shows how different perspectives still lead to useful takeaways, which is interesting in itself, anyway I prefer staying broadly aware before going deeper, ipo updates seem to support that habit quite well, not always perfect though often sufficient, plus it helps reduce that constant feeling of missing something important, which happens more often than people admit when they try to follow everything without keeping a simple system in place

Sjamsoedin’s take on daycare curation is such a unique and interesting perspective. It shows how much thought goes into creating an environment that is both stimulating and safe for children. It’s all about the details and the atmosphere. I find that I look for that same level of "curation" in the digital platforms I use. Having a seamless and well-designed interface, like what I experience through my Diamond Exchange Login, makes a huge difference in how I enjoy my time online. Such a creative and thoughtful read!

The student responses to Irma Herrera’s play are so insightful. It’s clear that the themes of identity and social justice resonated deeply with the Puente students. Art has a unique way of sparking important conversations and helping us see the world through a different lens. In a similar vein, when people look for platforms that offer a variety of experiences and perspectives in the gaming world, Lotus365 often comes to mind. Thank you for sharing these reflections; it’s empowering to see the next generation engaging so critically and passionately with contemporary theater and social issues.
