- Knowing and listening to a lot of electronic music, especially trance and neurofunk;
- Gaming + streaming: I mostly enjoy FPS, RPG, rhythm games as well as completing 100% of achievements;
- Passion for cats (which is also my religion I guess);
- Music events;
- Dnb step dance (not to be confused with skanking, which is a lazy UK variant for it);
- Sushi;
- Noticing grammatical mistakes on store signs and restaurant menus in non-English speaking countries, and then annoying whoever I’m hanging out with by talking about it;

In no particular order

1. Writing music ( mostly but not always in my DAW) . - I love it so much. Could wax lyrical about it lol.

2. Playing piano at my parents & law. Free flow on the spot improvised emotive stuff. Love it.

3. Watching streaming services series with my wife. Recently reached the end of the last series made of ‘The Boys’ - (watched Gen v after series 3 then The boys series 4. Oh Billy Butcher!!!! What a guy! Love his lines.

4. Googling in order to learn various science / psychology / spirituality / proper life things / fun stuff / music related stuff.

5. Listening to music. This I need to prioritise more time for to properly listen to entire electronic albums etc in one sitting and properly loose myself in the music.

6. - special mention which encapsulates a few answers above… Going to Trancefix. I’m here so often I’m probably an addict! 😁

Music production, or indeed pretty much anything music related
Movie nerd, I also dabble in video editing
Photography
Whiskey and beer nerd
Pet all the dogs, but mostly my own old tyme bulldog Hagrid
Cooking, it's how I "got" my wife
Gaming
Just moved to Australia and we're gonna take up paddle boarding and I wanna start going ice skating again
Perpetual stoner
Exercise, mostly running and circuit training but I'm gonna start getting out on my bike more
Also my really weird thing is that I'm a historian/connoisseur of battle rap and have been following the culture since 2013. Goes without saying that I'm a massive hip hop head

Music - I still love discovering and growing my collection, I spend a lot of time on that. Going to big gigs is still best feeling in the world for me.
Photography - Since getting a proper SLR my interest and skill has grown a lot. Love landscape and editing in general.
Mountain Biking - greatest sport on earth... my skill level improved very well in last 3 years (now clearing jumps).
Design - I am lucky I have a job where i can make UI. I love it, and all things design honestly. Creating beautiful things is so fulfilling.
Travel - I am fortunate enough to be able explore the world freely, without worry - ive been really leaning into it the past 5 years.

Gaming once dominated my life. There is nothing better to do as a kid growing up and playing endless games. I fell out with it due to lack of good games and also how it detracts from more meaningful things in life. But this year I decided to give it another shot and reintroduce it back into life and have been enjoying myself. Definitely took a hit on personal projects and development, but its nice to switch off and just appreciate the beauty of gaming still. I stuggle not to constantly be productive and working, so it helps me just slow down for a bit.

In no particular order:

- Music. Trance and its subgenres are of course my fave, but here I mean music in general. I love a wide variety of genres and enjoy discovering new stuff everywhere.
- Fitness/Gym. Been consistently weightlifting for 11 years and it's basically a hobby by now. Spent a lot of time gathering knowledge about the ins and outs of fitness.
- Gaming. Video games and board games. Been playing video games most my life and got more involved with board games in the last 5-10ish years. My long term goal is also to develop my own game (I'm a software engineer by profession).
- Football. Been following football extensively since my youth. Also supported Manchester United since I can remember.
- Traveling

Music - going to parties is a thing of the past for me now as I am too old, but I still buy records and occasionally mix. Trance music is my no1 passion

Wood working - I run a successful carpentry business and I love what I do. I still get hands on in the workshop to design furniture and material for crafting.

Sport - I love to kayak, and will do trips in Europe down rivers for extended periods, where we camp and of course drink beers. I also like tennis. Cycling too

Physics - this is my favorite subject to study and read, even though my intellect is modest and some ideas escape me. Learning about the world and universe is stimulating
