what, so, you mean, when mummy said to me "keep at it scotty and you will become a superstar dj and you will get to sip Singapore Slings with Marco Bailey in Phuket", she was lying? WOOOAAHHHHH hold it there son, one thing mummy aint is a liar

damn you

and i bet none of you know that the REAL reason Jeff Mill's hit it big was because he actually works for a massive borough council organisation and they pay him to travel the globe picking up litter in his 5 record bags

**Mindful** · 06-01-2006, 10:45 PM

Hes right dude.

lots of good pionts here.
Realy all this hard work your doing thats the rewawd and sucsess that your looking for,thats the enjoyment and thats where your at.
Your doing somthing worth doing and thats that, of course you should be setting goals and when you have accheived them setting new ones but enjoy the doing rather than the ending.
**** the mony and the popularity, its all about making music that moves you personaly and sharing ideas and insperation with your like minded peers.
And learning somthing no matter how small from your non like minded peers.

Maybe;)

Jeff Mills actually worked for McDonalds when he was a pimple faced teen, he could operate 3 ovens at once although his egg mc’muffins were always a bit sloppy

**eyeswithoutaface** · 06-01-2006, 10:46 PM

so that WAS true? wow

id heard about teh egg mc'muffin's legend, but then i thought "no way, this is Jeff Mills, his muffin's have gotta be the best"

thanks man, you've ruined the dream

hahahaha....that just broke me....hehehehe.

**MARKEG** · 06-01-2006, 11:19 PM

hahaha..

hey you know i'm sure i've said in some interviews when ppl ask me 'how did you make it to where you are' and i've said well, i just believed in myself and followed what i wanted to do. i dunno if this is the same condecending thing you talk about, but it's never meant to be like that. in the grand sceme of things, i'm not mills, but i can pay my bills through music and i do class music as my job. so how did i do that? well sure, i did to some extent believe in myself. everyone other cunt did tell me i would never make it and i needed to get a proper job. ppl laughed at me. now i'm the one laughing at them. i stuck to what i believed in and di dmy own thing. but the other thing they NEVER say is that you have to have business sense. i reckon you have to understand the workings of business or you're screwed. i studied business to a-level so i know to a certain extent how it all works.

it's like anything really. if you have a product and place in a market, you're ****ed without promotion and marketing.

alot of ppl see a romatic view of music as a really piss easy way to make a living but there's much more to it that you think. either you're lucky and you get a good agent (well that's none exsistant in techno), some good labels to take care of you, or you learn the business yourself. and come on - if your brain works well enough to understand techno then it's defintely gonna work well enough to pick up a book and learn marketing.

i remember once interviewing mills annd i met him in a hotel foyet and he was reading the share index. don't tell me that man's not a business man.i thiink that explains alot. clarke was similar.

it really depends how far you want to go in this. i'm not there yet, i have along way to go, but i'm learning. and so everyone else can do too. ...

anyway that's my little bit to the topic ;)

listen, felas, if you just follow your dreams, they will all come true! last night i dreamed i bought some coffee and then ate pizza...and it all came true!

**dan the acid man** · 06-01-2006, 11:40 PM

**Stella Boy** · 06-01-2006, 11:55 PM

If dreams do come true them i'm off to the garage to buy a copy of Playboy wrapped in a copy of the financial times.

if i read this in one more interview i will hunt them down... its easy to be condescending when your a 'made man' but jesus does it piss me off...

personally, i been battling for over 10 years now & i aint seen a dime in success.

anyone else concur with my thesis ?

"made man" l o l

a'ite... i give up then... more comedians here than producers for sure lol

and btw, idiots, i'm happy to be a cog in the bowels of the machine.. every structure has small wheels that run the machine.. and if i happen to be a small wheel, i'm happy with that as opposed to not playing a role at all.

as i said, most have missed my point, but with the amount of hilarious replies, i'll jus let it go & leave it to the kids to larf up innit ;)

my point was this.. its easier to say things when your at the top. its easier to come across as patronising when you HAVE made it, as opposed to still being in the trenches.

i dont mind being in the thick & gettin it tuff. thats life, ragardless, but when those above you get all Zen & righteous, it gets thin.. its not keeping me up at night lol but it is rather tedious to keep seeing the same crap in each interview lol

anyways, stick to your dayjobs gents.. cos you lot are far from funny :cheese:

**davethedrummer** · 07-01-2006, 06:20 PM

well i don't know what you were expecting really
mark gave you a great answer
and personally i though the jokes about the egg mcmuffins were hilarious
come on mate, loosen up a bit.

**miss bass** · 07-01-2006, 08:12 PM

nowt wrong with a patronising superstar dj, people never seem to leave me alone, thats for sure....

:o/

Just stop reading interviews then. When you`ve read one hawtin interview it`s not like the next 3 are gonna say much different, or in fact it`s not like the interviewer will ask anything different.

**dan the acid man** · 07-01-2006, 10:13 PM

yep ligthen up, and i wouldn't go calling us all idiots, well you can call me an idiot but thats besides the point.

you have to look at your post as we saw it, it just looks like you've thrown your toys out of the pram as you haven't as you put it..made it yet.

yes, some people maybe luckier than others, and get the right breaks at the right time, but that's the same as anything in life.

some people may work hard at producing all their life, but if nobody else likes their songs, then nobody is going to listen to them.

as long as you're happy doing what you do, then anything else is a bonus in my eyes
