\n\tOn Tuesday, 3lau (pronounced \u201cblau\u201d) posted images and video of the event alongside an Instagram caption reading that \u201cfive days ago [President Trump\u2019s] team reached out cause they needed a DJ for inauguration afters. Playing Starlight Ball was not on my 2025 bingo card, but I mean wow, what an honor. I was so nervous, and only got to play for 30 min but holy ****. Achievement unlocked.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOn X (formerly Twitter), the producer shared<\/a> the same images and video and wrote \u201cYesterday was a huge leap forward for crypto !!! It was an honor to be a small part of it DJing the @POTUS afters ;)\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBorn Justin Blau, the producer has released electronic music as 3LAU since 2013. He is also a well-established tech advocate and investor<\/a>. In 2021, he launched Royal<\/a>, a\u00a0blockchain-based platform for investing in music rights.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe timing is crazy,\u201d 3lau\u2019s Instagram caption continues. \u201cI know I\u2019ve been quiet for a long time, mainly because 2025 is gonna be the biggest year yet \u2013 for both my music and Royal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe comments section of his inauguration day post \u2014 currently the only post on the 3lau grid \u2014 is a mixed bag of feedback, with Deadmau5 among the thousands of commenters on Instagram. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Canadian producer pointedly wrote, \u201cHere\u2019s the best takeaway, not a single person in that entire dumb\u2014 administration has ever known who the f\u2014 you were, cared about you, or even gives the remotest sh\u2013 about you, and you certainly won\u2019t be remembered by any of em. But everyone in this business will remember that you stood behind nazis and convicted felons who would further marginalize the very people who gave you a platform. What very little respect I had for you is gone. So glad you got some drink tickets out of the deal, enjoy them, you nepo pissbaby.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn response, 3lau wrote Friday<\/a> (Jan. 24) on X that since playing the ball, \u201cI\u2019ve received backlash from several prominent members of the music community. While I anticipated some pushback, the intensity of the response has been far greater than I expected.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cA matter of fact: I am a proud American,\u201d the statement continues. \u201cThe freedoms we have in this country make it possible for me to pursue my passions\u2014whether as a founder, a CEO, or a musician. My pride should not be used as a vessel for other people\u2019s anger. This is exactly the behavior that has divided us. I am unwavering in my decision to focus my music and my work on things that continue to push our country forward. This might not always align with a single party, but progress comes from working together, not against each other.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI believe firmly in both free speech and the acceleration of tech innovation. These principles have been integral to my identity. I also see crypto and blockchain technology as monumental forces essential to our future as a nation\u2014forces that the previous administration opposed. This administration favors many aspects of the vision I hold for our future; while no one\u2019s values will ever fully align with those of any president or party, I stand by my choice. And, for the record, I am grateful to participate in our democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
