    The handful of tracks that take off tend not to be generic genre set filler.

    And there's a lot more to making a track "take off" than just making the track.

    You need artwork

    Remember, it's not just about the music, it's about the dream.

    ill produce any type of music im comfortable with.

    as far as my own productions are concerned, ive released on some of the biggest UK/euro techno and acid techno labels, aswell as some glitch, some acid trance, some house & tech house all under various different guises. ive a lot of actual vinyl out there with my name on it... also I have many leather-bound books, and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

    biggest release so far has been on stay up forever records. doesnt get much bigger than that in the hard techno world :)

    first time was in the old kinetec studio's in london with 'roland the bastard' back in 98 or so. i think it came out on infectious records.

    i dont really do much of my own stuff these days but i have started up a new electro pop project with a female singer so hopefully that will take off but its mostly bands i work with these days. unfortunatly techno doesnt put bread on the table much any more.

    Ah so your doing it as a primary source of income? With the way things are going these days it's very hard to make a living from it without getting bookings

    like any engineer i stick my fingers in as many pies as possible. it pays the rent and puts food on the table... just :o

    ive given up the gigging thing. i used to be in uk or europe most weekends but my boy is 11 and i just felt i was missing out on him growing up so i knocked that end on the head.
