As a teenager, I didn't go out on Weekends, I didn't go to parties, I didn't go to concerts, I didn't meet friends. There was a steady diet of scifi- and horror movies, video games... and above all, Hardcore.
Going to the record store, buying records, listening to them, and, of course producing tracks on my own...
And then the occasional Hardcore party, which, after the mid 90s, only happened only every few months. In between that: nothing. For example, in between the Fuckparde 1998 and the Fuckparde 1999 I didn't go to any party at all.
As I met other people from the Hardcore scene later in my life, I got to know that a lot of them lived similar lives.
It might not have been the most optimal way to lead a life, but it was fruitful, and in my opinion, led to a bunch of interesting tracks.
What is ironic though, is that a lot of people around the world now listen to my Hardcore productions, and I am in contact with a lot of people because of my music - something that I essentially groomed in isolation.
A kind of paradox but positive outcome. So you never know where the road you begin walking on leads to.
