Curated DJ lessons

House music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in Chicago, Illinois, in the early 1980s. It is characterized by its four-on-the-floor rhythm, which features a steady beat of kick drum on each beat of the measure, and its use of electronic synthesizers and other production techniques to create a sound that is both repetitive and hypnotic.

wget -O spyserver.tgz
tar xvzf spyserver.tgz
nano spyserver.config
chmod +x spyserver
./spyserver
