put up posters for loads of other clubs round belfast & sometimes make a few quid outta my own nights (but not since last june :cry: )

and i get a few £££ from gettin gigs at other nights but i usually piss it on taxis, drink & drugs :roll:

its all worth being skint though. if i did a reg 40 hour 9-5 i wouldnt have the time or flexibilty to put on nights & play out & spend so much time in my studio...

its the compromise & balance thats the key imo

I am trilled someone actually show interests in my job!!!! Its one for the braindead having to repeat the same quotes for 4 hours solid to some poor cu-nts and some rich cun-ts. The most common reaction is a "click" when the hang up, following by "I am going out now", or "having dinner"

Most of them dont watch so much TV, as they earn some £50000 + per year, and they speak sod all other languages apart from English, which is the only card I have to compete.

S h i t job all the way.

I don't do it for the money. More of a case of Job satisfaction in my case!.

Only kidding guys.

I DJ, run my own record label and work in a record shop and have also just started to learn how to produce music.

It's hard at times to earn a living but a normal 9 till 5 would be soul destroying for me.

Something happens to me during the day time from the time I wake up until about 1830 - - then there's this great techy noise "whoooom-cher CHUNK!!!", at which point sometimes my mind clicks over and I am afforded the chance to regain my humanity, but only for a few hours, you see.

You wanna know what really bites? I am around the corp world so many hours per day that I am actually being slowly brainwashed, and that is sadly not an exaggeration. In another few years I'll scoff at techno as being all a part of my youthful misunderstandings and move on to lapping up the music of child prodigies such as Norah Jones. :dance:

i run a one man international record distribution company, which, come aug/sept, will be sending brnad new releases out to the world.
the company is strong, and the potential has become enourmous, but i'm barely paying my own bills.

there aint much cash in this game. do a lot of djing, but though i'm good i dont really command lots of cash for a set. i also grab some moments to sit in my extensive but hardly used studio and i keep stockpiling tracks for when my labels are up and running.

I also design Freelance styles on my yummy G4 laptop at home, I service 4 clients which include a crane company and a new Melbourne record label which is on its way.

I run 2 monthly nights in Melbourne, Australia, and DJ around the place a fair bit. Just got back from a gig in Adelaide (different state).

I live with my Fiancé, and dedicate Saturday and Sunday afternoon to music production which she hates, but puts up with. I make sure to take her out and give her all the attention I can.

I'm an Achitectural Technologist at the mo which means I make the building work after the concept ideas are done, have to ensure the building can actually be built, functions correctly, passes legislation, is dry, warm, materials used in right ways, loads of technical design and detail drawing and the occasional argument on site with a builder...

I don't want to be a slave to my fat boss for ever tho, I'm seriously into the music and hope that one day I will be released by doing music stuff and freelance design work full time...

I think I might also be the only person who has techno in their job title, heh heh
