Hmmm, I know I'm not in the position to say this, but if you're so fed up with everything that's going on in techno, why not push it forward yourself? Even if you don't (have to) make a living out of it you can still produce the music you like right?
Why give up on it all... strange...

Big lost for techno. Briljant producer in my opinion...

That's what he's saying he's been trying to push things foreward with his releases but he is losing money. So it's not that he's not earning anything it's costing him money there lies the problem. I think he's fed up with all the formualic producers publishing clone after clone and distribution centres asking for shit instead of quality he's sick of artists copying a sound which they know will sell instead of pushing boundries....

@ zaal: Yeah that seems to be it... but just as I am fed up with every other "13-in-a-dozen" website I've been doing Beatfreax for over 7 years now without making 1 cent! It costs me hunderds of euros every month as well!
In my opinion people should stop whining at take mather into their own hands! As he states himself he's not in it for the money, that's what music is supposed to be I think. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great loss as well, always liked the Space DJ'z stuff a lot, but I find his reasons a bit odd....

Totally agree with webmaster here, if ur fed up with distributors asking for shit instead for quality, why don't do distribution urself? it helped for a small crew of dutch electro producers.. 
@ web; what do the space djz have 2 do with this? am i missin something?

i understand what you mean and i'll be the last to cry about not earning any money with records... if i calculate all the costs we've made to produce the tracks we've done so far..................... i'd be here for a while, calculating the income we've generated on the other hand would take me less then ten seconds

if you'd have to do all the distribution yourself the cost of records would go through the roof

Cut from English black audio forum...
Reaction from Chris:
---- CmC.
I just want to make a couple of points..
I am not on a pedastal to be shot down, I am a normal, friendly and approachable person like the rest of you, I just happen to have released some techno records that made a few people round the world dance, maybe even whoop out loud, smile and talk. I am a bit embarressed really that a few are waiting with knives to start cutting me down, and for what? Releasing some techno records and then saying enough, blimey.
Sorry if some people think I am up to something by saying I quit. I dont mean anything dramatic by it, and I am not going to return in six months time. Please I really dont want an aggressive free for all, it is not worth it, but I am entitled to give an opinion on my own website.
See this is what I dont understand.. What if I was an opinionated person spending my spare time on internet forums giving out opinions rather than just getting on and making music.. What if, as an anonymous person behind a computer I then said exactly what I said on my website about how I saw techno music today.. Would some one jump down my throat and say "F*ck you Chris" to my face?
Thank you so much to those who have just wished me luck, that is all thats needed really, none of this agressive F*ck off stuff. I dont deserve any of that, all I have done is try to make some good techno records in the time I have.
Cheers, Chris.

Wise decision Chris! Too many assholes, too many crappy records around, too much unreturned love and effort...
