In September 2006 Alexander released a new track, "ReLoad", in the VIP Vault and wrote that he had taken "a very long break from music production". In April 2007 trance[]control Productions and his web design company moved into an office in Gothenburg, with "a member database of clsoe to 10k individuals". [1, 2]
In 2012 Alexander set up a new studio, a 3×4 metre soundproofed room in central Gothenburg, and announced an upgrade paid for by that year's music sales: all revenue would "go back into the project instead of spending it on coffee and pizza". In August he drove off to fetch a 32-channel Soundcraft Ghost console. [1, 2, 3]
The console was sold again. Studio 7, 15 minutes outside the city centre, was where Alexander, from 2015, designed a passive summing box of his own. Today the studio is a single M-Audio Axiom 61 keyboard and no other gear; the summing box is still not finished. [1, 2]
The terms have changed since MP3.com's half of a CD. Bandcamp takes 15 percent of a digital sale, 10 once an artist has sold $5,000, plus card fees, and says that on average 82 percent of what fans pay reaches the artist or label. Spotify pays no fixed rate per stream: it says rights holders share about two thirds of its music revenue according to their share of all streams, and that in 2025 one stream in every million was worth $11,000 on average. Since 2024 a track there earns nothing until it has had 1,000 streams in a year. [1, 2, 3, 4]
