- For the Record is a conversation series where we speak with all manner of music heads — DJs, music journos, indie label captains, record shop owners, listening bar kingpins, et al — about their stories + the music that makes them.

Dicky Trisco is a DJ and music producer who lives and breathes what he does. His passion for music and desire for good times is well known. He has spent years chasing that sound and that feeling around the globe as an international DJ. For him DJing is all about people. He is addicted to the way music connects people and makes for better days.
Dicky really broke through as a DJ and producer in the Nu Disco/Disco Revival years from around 2004. In particular, his run of DJ edit, original and remix releases alongside Balearic House hero Pete Herbert on Disco Deviance and Maxi Discs led to him becoming an increasingly in demand DJ with a busy international touring schedule. He is also rumoured to be the force behind the rather legendary Secret Squirrel vinyl only imprint. But who knows??? It’s a secret.
Since those early days, Dicky has toured constantly around Asia, Australia, Central/South America, USA, Europe and the UK sharing the music and the sound he loves. He has also become a regular at a long list of high profile festivals including the legendary Glastonbury, Electric Elephant, Mareh, Love International, Festival No 6 and many more.
Dicky is also a mainstay of the local scene in his hometown of Dundee, Scotland where he was a resident of the infamous ‘Small Town Club’ aka Reading Rooms for over a decade. At nights like Autodisco, Disco Deviance, A Night With and Non Stop, he learned his trade playing alongside many of his heroes and legendary DJs from around the world such as Andrew Weatherall, Optimo, Rahaan, Jazzie B, Horse Meat Disco, Farley Jackmaster and many more.
Dicky also ran and curated the well-respected House music label Home Taping Is Killing Music for many years putting out a run of amazing releases. Home Taping broke a number of great House artists who have gone on to become household names in the scene including The Blessed Madonna, The Revenge, Nicholas, Borrowed Identity, Eddie C & Medlar amongst others.
Dicky continues to discover, produce and remix music for a number of quality imprints including Razor-N-Tape, File Under Disco, Home Taping, Barefoot Beats, Nervous Records and many more. He has also remixed major artists such as Bryan Ferry, Belle & Sebastian, L’Impératrice, Edwyn Collins (Orange Juice), Danielle Baldelli, Faze Action, The Orielles, Golden Dawn Arkestra and Tensnake down in his basement studio.
Most recently Dicky has been creating original music alongside NYC music machine JKriv under the name Sentimental Animals for the Razor-N-Tape imprint. Their Love Vibration EP was very well received by disc jockeys around the world and has been played by the likes of Craig Charles who made it one of his Tracks of 2021 on his BBC Radio 6 Funk & Soul show.
Dicky became a resident DJ at Pikes in Ibiza in the summer of 2023 playing in every area - poolside, terrace, Freddies, bathtub - in this legendary club.
He also kick started a monthly radio show out of Ibiza called International Sounds on OpenLab Radio where he showcases the music he discovers, makes and plays while travelling around the globe.
As a disc jockey, DT packs a little bit of everything into his sets of International Sounds and is committed to the idea that music and club nights should be all about escapism, joy and togetherness.
As Dicky says love and dancing is what we need.
Amen to that.

- I was offered a tour of the Israel/Gaza boarder along with some influencer frens (i am not included)
This is Kfar Aza, the first location to be hit on Oct 7th and home to the famous image of the paragliders
Interestingly, one of Kfar Aza’s members was responsible for bringing paragliders to the region and used to shower the children with candy from above
Approximately 3000 people, many of whom were employees of the Kibbutz, conducted the raid at around 6:30am
Both militants and civilians rushed in to partake on the action
Kfar Aza was known for producing plastic coloring and avacadoes

- Marvin was severely stuck for something to do, and had taken up composing short dolorous ditties of no tone, or indeed tune. The latest one was a lullaby.
Marvin droned,
“Now the world has gone to bed,
Darkness won't engulf my head,
I can see in infrared,
How I hate the night.”
He paused to gather the artistic and emotional strength to tackle the next verse.
“Now I lay me down to sleep,
Try to count electric sheep,
Sweet dream wishes you can keep,
How I hate the night.”
- Douglas Adams, “Life, the Universe and Everything”

- Don’t be the type to hold your bags to zero. Markets have cycles. Take profits along the way, even if you miss out on the top.

- An unfortunate update: it looks like this change won't be happening because Hey is moving away from Smart Tipping to new proprietary contract that isn't an Open Action. This means you'll have to pay your own gas, part of the tip will go to Hey, you won't get notifications for the tips, and it won't be indexed or shown on other Lens apps, nor used as a signal for things like your Lens score. 😔
Some apps that support Smart Tipping: Orna, Focalize, BloomersTV, Tape. MadFi, LensShare, DragVerse
I think we can all agree that the way Smart Tipping works is not ideal, but I'd love to see collaborative solutions rather than fragmentation. My proposal for Profile Actions could make tipping far more intuitive and reduce friction: https://github.com/lens-protocol/LIPs/pull/35
