Probably what there is a lack of (and not that I'd have the money to do one) is more advanced courses.

Any course where a muppet spends the first two hour class of a ten week course telling the class, sounds are made of waves is taking the proverbial, and spraying it over your face while laughing and gently stroking themselves.

Group collaboration and project work - no flaking around. Dealing with labels - what is complete wank and what is not. Achieving a little more than 60 plays on Soundcloud (and I don't mean spamming so you get 100).

Possibly an arts council grant or something to finance a proper release/s.

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



... so i think im enetitled to give trance a little harmless slaggin off

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



Or this



Or this




Or this




Or this......If you're arty




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

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
