Upon further reflection, although these new changes at The Guv (rock in the D'luxe, mashup in The Drink) could and probably will cause some clashes in crowd, I wonder if The Guv is really pushing to start getting EDM out to the masses. I think a huge market is developing in the mainstream for EDM and "rave"-esque clubbing. People, mainly the youth generation, are getting bored of the hip-hop, emo-rock, etc from the past generation. For example, it seems like 75% of the conversation I hear with my friends outside of the scene in the past 2 weeks is about how Tiesto is coming and how excited they are for it.
I think this move could potentially bring a lot of new blood to our scene, which is a good thing.
It seems that all those whining about "the z-103" crowd are also those who whine that we don't have big festivals like the do in Europe. Do you think the 10s of thousands that go to these festivals are "in-the-know" cool dudes like all of you? Most of the people who go to European festivals and Ibiza barely know any, or none of the DJs playing. They just know that it's Ibiza, Dance Valley, Sonar, Timewarp, etc.
Also, here's a bit of a newsflash: Guvernment parties are already pretty mainstream. So sorry, but I don't think anyone would consider you "trendy", or "in-the-know" for going to The Guv. Most of the people in this category probably don't even really care about this move because they barely/rarely go The Guv anyway. |
For sure. I agree with this completely.
The Drink mash up can be cool if it does bring a different type of crowd.
As for diversity in the scene the more people into things the larger it grows and soon, festivals, big ones like the Bacardi tent at V fest (and larger!)
