Umek was once supposed to play at footwork but it got cancelled no?
I've been dying to see him live. I cant listen to his sets while doing work because i keep jamming out at my desk.

I dont think its ever been financially profitable to bring alot of those guys (or the equivalent back in the day) They are what they are because they dont cater to the masses.
It is what it is... What we need is a current promoter (or new promoter?) to fill that niche to bridge the gap between the techno kids and the trance heads. Ozmosis, Platform and Activate have been doing an awesome job bringing in relatively unknown, super talented names. Their events are small intimate and successful.
But we need a promotion crew that brings in the type of proggy sounds listed above. Ive often toyed with the idea of collaborating with some people to start a promotion crew with exactly this purpose. Maybe it starts here?
