Here’s something that often catches folks off guard when I reveal them:
I am seldom content with my finished work.
I lose objectivity, I get bored with it, perfectionism is always at work.
I try not to care.
I aim to deliver regardless, and move on.
I don’t always succeed with that (I have a lot of “almost finished” material that is just sitting there).
But I do finish enough to have a steady flow of releases that keeps up my momentum.
(BTW the latest by me and Loxy just came out on Future Retro – with remixes by Tim Reaper, Double O and Basic Rhythm – vinyl and digital – link here:

Now look.
If you’re struggling with finishing and not getting your music out there –
Maybe all you need is a mindset shift.
Manage your expectations.
Don’t aim for flawless outcomes.
More importantly, understand:
You don’t have to love every aspect of your work in order to put it out there.
Go easy on yourself.
Good enough is good enough, and worth presenting.
