amen
this has been my aim from the beginning and without a doubt the best way to operate in this scene imo. I bet you noticed the stress literaly lift off your shoulders mark mate, no?
people seem to be under the impression that as long as they keep pumping out their wares (and i mean pumping, there are some people releasing who have very worrying ratios of release) then they'l automatically rise to the top. Not so. If you were shoving out like 15, 20 records a year like some people do, by logic the quality control over all these records is going to waver.
Alot of people need to slowdown, stop acting like techno owes them a living and face up to a bit of reality now and then. Having a regular job brings back that division between making music for my own love of it, and making music out of neccesity. And that's not music. It's just simply product. Which isnt nice at all
