you probably dont want my 2 cents but here goes anyway.


selling techno record will not make you money. (unless you sell 5 or 6 thousand copies of each 12") i look at it like the records are for expressing myslef to the public and if any money comes back it is a bonus.

but i have learned that the degree of promotion needed to make a truly big label is just rediculously out of my price range and so with DM and GJS i just try to make kick ass tracks and concepts reflecting my own trip. my records sell about 1200 copies each, i dont make much money, but the ppl usually buy all of the copies we press so i get by.


its expensive to make covers with art, but i made the GJS series records with the jackets because i feel that you need to provide a more complete package for consumers so that even though they can get the tracks online, they still go down to the shop and pick up the disc because they want to support the artist and because it is satisfying to hold the finished product in hand.


anyway i hope we can press more copies of the next few discs, so that people in the states and asia can have better access to the records. spain, germany, holland, the czeck republic and slovakia, all over europe people have supported the records and i am truly gratefull, but it would be good to have the records in more countries.

it is true that the vinyl industry is in the toilet right now, but its what you make it i guess.
