DJ Fresh announced he will no longer tour in an announcement on his Facebook page. His last scheduled touring date will occur in January."It's time to begin the next chapter of my life.. And it's way overdue. Need to think about my health and life," the London-based DJ wrote. "Thanks so much everyone who has bought my records and supported my vision. Without you guys the music wouldn't exist."The root of his exit stems from his displeasure with the current industry. On his retirement post, DJ Fresh wrote, "I cannot continue to be part of this industry.. I hate everything about it. It's fake, soul destroying and promotes everything BUT experimentation and heartfelt emotion (which is what music means to me)." Last week, he announced he was "all clear" after undergoing treatment for cancer.Read DJ Fresh's entire statement below. In 2014, DJ Fresh created an exclusive mix for THUMP.
