Very impressed Psytox, I honestly don't know how to find the time for all of that. I literally quit my job 2 1/2 weeks ago and moved to Canada for 4 months so that I can concentrate on music as I was getting back from work at 8-9pm!! How would you say you split your hours in between all of that?
Well... I work 9-5 but a lot of the work for the label is done on my lunch breaks, my boss is also the label sponsor so that's quite allright :)

I also only live half an hour from work, get home at 5.30 pm, so start making music rightaway for an hour or two, my wife always gets home later because she is a corporate big shot, so plenty of time to do my own thing then,... and when she watches sex & the city I'm next to her with the laptop and I watch beatport and decks.de ;)

I mean, if both persons spend as much time together as possible but at the same time manage to do their own thing, it's manageable. I just don't sit down ever, always busy doing something. I'm just lucky to be completely immune for stress and pressure, so working in any form is completely relaxing to me :)

The question is of course how much you are bothered if you have to spend time with your girldfriend. If you want to spend all your time on your own things, I think a relationship is not the thing for you at the moment. Which is fine too :)

Who wants to sit and watch shite telly ie 'Britains got fookin talent'..?
Doesn't she understand im tryin to make golden records?!
I used to get it alot from my old girlfriend. Too much time in front of the computer, not going out as often as we used to, and stuff like that. One day something magical has happened. I showed her some stuff in ableton, she liked it, and started making her own music. Sounds like beating a pillow with a stick, but i always tell her it's great :D
