bingo.

what i have been saying for years is that the industry standard "you have to have records out to get booked", resulted in a lot of shite techno on wax.

frankly, that's why it took me so long to start producing. i have been DJing for 10 years, but i didn't want to go out and just throw down some disposable crap. hell, maybe i do anyway in some people's eyes, but i waited until i felt i could say something with what i made. at the end of the day, it means something to me anyhow...
