ok, hold on.... Fritz sold ME his ticket for $25...
ok, ok, he made $2.50 off the deal, but i'm not sure it's worth fighting about.
Back to the discussion here:
There are many issues within the scene right now and it has nothing to do with lack of talent or bad productions. There are scores of proven breaks DJs in town as well as a nice crew of up and comers that can rock the dancefloor on any given night. The music, has never been better produced, nor has it ever come out in such great quantities: breaks are being accepted by house nuts everywhere and are being produced by great house and jungle djs too!.
No, the problem isn't the music or the djs. The problem is discrimination, segregation and just all around ignorance of the evolution of our fickle subculture. Only when key people realize that funky, electro, glitchy, housey, booty, bassline, tearout, hiphop, bmore, etc. all belong together in the same forum can we build this scene beyond where it is now.
Acceptance, people. You might not like glitch hop, and she might not like electrobreaks, but we are too small to be divided, and each little subdivision is too small to be sustained for any extended period of time without significant innovation: NEVER STAGNATE. It's so sad that we have become the music snobs that we used to laugh at...
Jump around, scream, yell, meet new people, dance your ass off, HAVE FUN! That's a party... That's how i see it anyway...
