The Producer Dojo "No Middling Around" Mug
A Label With A Mission
In 2015 we created the Producer Dojo as a record label with a mission: to create the best producer community the world has ever seen by building on the fundamental truth that in the Arts: output is everything and that self-discipline is the key to becoming prolific. This lofty mission has united a beautiful tribe of talented artists who wake up every morning to make the best music of their lives.
Satan’s Drink
While wine drinking Christians suffered through the Dark Ages in Europe their Islamic counterparts were busy drinking coffee, inventing the numbering system and pioneering modern mathematics. This Black Cocaine that fuelled the Islamic Golden Age was known to Crusaders as ‘Satan’s Drink’ until they ambushed a Turkish military camp in 1600 and tried some of the coffee the Turks had left behind… After tasting it and feeling it’s effect the Europeans fell in love with coffee but were conflicted about it’s evil reputation.
Naysayers brought the black brew to Pope Clement VIII so he could officially declare the Devil’s Drink off limits to Christians, but the wise Pope decided to taste it for himself before pronouncing his judgement… Immediately enamoured, Pope Clement VIII exclaimed:
“Why, this Satan’s Drink is so delicious that it would be a pity to let the infidels have exclusive use of it!” and the world was forever changed… Is it a coincidence that the Renaissance of European culture occurred around the same time?
