Retirement plans

After serious consideration I decided this weekend to quit dj'ing. As of august 2010, I will no longer play dj sets outside my own house. The reason? Because I've been struggling the past year to find places where I could feel good about the music I want to play. Because I don't want to keep on playing until people tell me it's become a bit pathetic. Because I don't feel like coming out of bed at 5AM to play for a few people who aren't interested in music the way I am. Because I simply think nightlife has changed so much that I don't feel in place anymore.

So, my set at the Tomorrowland festival this summer will be the last one. And before the comedians amongst you start: yes, I've said this before, but this time it's for real. I will continue to make music myself and my work with Coincidence Records will of course keep on taking up my time (and money). But the releases will come under another name than Psytox. Because I want to keep it simple, I will just use my own name, which makes it a bit sad that I don't have a wicked german or polish name. But I'll manage ;)

I just want to thanks all people, espacially my wife and family, for all the support they gave me over the years. It's been a blast.
