Q & A
Q:
You must at one time have had a vision about how Affin should be, tell us about it
A:
The idea for an own label was present long time before Affin started. The main reason was just to release whatever i wanted. Moreover i like the idea of being independent from others opinions and after some years of releasing and working on several labels i felt fine to go for it.
Q:
Are you getting closer to your vision?
A:
Yes, for sure. The Affin 100 compilation was a turning point for the label. In the last 2 years the the label focussed on releasing techno.
Q:
What are your thoughts on the techno scene today?
A:
Compared to the time when i started releasing music (1999) a lot of things changed (otherwise it would be sad, ha ha). With developments of software and DAWs it’s easier/cheaper to start producing music. This caused a crowded market and especially on download shops you can see a lot of crap is being sold.
Q:
How do you spend your time when you are not producing, managing or djing?
A:
I don't have much time besides from it. I try to relax and easy my mind. :)
Q:
Finally, if music was not your carrier what could have been your alternative career?
A:
I’m not sure.
