My take on Mainstream.
I feel very strongly for mainstream play. I mean this is how I look at the whole picture:
There's thousands of people crying about record labels going under because they aren't making enough money. Partially due to MP3 downloads, and partially due to people not owning turntables. But a lot of these people who cry all the time are the people who think trance, and all other EDM should stay "underground." Now, if it stays underground, the audience it will appeal to would be tiny. If brought out to mainstream there would be a greater audience, therefore more record sales.
I just think that if something goes mainstream, it doesn't change the sound of the music. If all the music we listen to in here was played on US radio all the time, it wouldn't change the way the music is heard. It would just increase the audience. Which I think is a valuable thing to this industry.
Just my thoughts,
Steve
