Some of the best labels out there put one or two releases out a year. I told our current distributor flat out before we signed on with them that one of the stipulations is that we'll release as much as we want, when we want to or else it won't work out. So, we've decided to do 2 or 3 releases tops this year for each label. We decided this number because its material we already have finished and we feel is appropriate to release. We won't release anything else until we come up with some more killer tunes that fit the sound of the labels.
The same goes with other labels too. They're always on deadlines and such and want tracks like right away but I usually just take my time. I think some people these days just focus on production as a job towards a goal rather than being fun. For a while I was just trying to make beats for the sake of making beats but it got old real quick. Now I only work on music when I am in the mood, just like I would with TV, books, and other stuff. I think if you keep the idea a hobby and just slow things down a bit it becomes a lot more fun. I've also been writing loads of music that isn't typical drummy techno and it's really put the fun back into writing music. You just gotta take your time. But yes, running labels is a drag sometimes.
