An open letter to TOTA
I'm probably going to get doubly flayed for this, and not undeservedly so...

Should add that we had a laugh and a half the few times we decided to peek in on the Beatport stage. Truly appears that the new hallmark of a DJ's popularity is to see how many attention-whoring hangers on you can pack into the booth during your set. |

There is no one else on this board whose posts reek of the elitism of a text-book, staunch techno-purist like you. Have you noticed that nobody cares yet? |
Correct on all counts.
My oft-wise wife, after reading my posts from this afternoon, quite pointedly made note of my seemingly incessant need to post deliberately inflammatory comments. And so I find myself both humbled and very sorry for my actions.
I would like to apologise for foisting my anger and frustration on those on this board who have done nothing to deserve it. I grew up in an extremely angry household, and while I like to think that over the years I've made great strides in coming to terms with that part of myself, I obviously have a ways to go before I'm entirely out of the proverbial woods. I still believe that a part of what frustrates me is generational; when I first entered the club and warehouse scene nearly 25 years ago, quite often when you walked into the party you couldn't even figure out where the DJ was. Aside from a handful of names coming out of U.S. cities like Chicago and New York, there were no superstar DJs, just a big dark room and the music. The landscape has changed considerably since then and I've had difficulty accepting that despite my ongoing protests, those changes aren't going anywhere anytime soon. I'm tired of the role I'm currently playing, and can now see the hypocrisy of talking about the original spirit of rave in my event listing when I don't adhere to it myself. From this point forward, I can only endeavour to keep my focus to the more positive and constructive aspects of what I do. Otherwise, as Special K pointed out, no one will want to come to my parties. I'm 41, a lifelong DJ and electronic music lover, and I don't want the remainder of my existence to be a lonely one, where I've managed to isolate and alienate myself from those with whom I should be most closely connected.
Highroller, thanks for having the patience to point out the error of my ways to me while still maintaining a semblance of compassion about it.
