DJ name dropping is fun, but sad truth is, most of the people don't go out as much, a lot of them only 1-2-3 times a year, and don't support clubs on a regular basis or resident nights.
In order to take huge risks with undergound names, a club must be really healthy on a weekly basis. You ask a lot from the scene, promoters and club owners, but you really have to ask yourself how much you contributed to the party scene comparing to a few years ago.
People say there's not enough techno, but they don't show up when a good techno line-up is there. Some want more underground DJs, but few of them really goes out to see a Jeff Mills, and I doubt even that there would be a lot of people for DJ Rush if it wasn't a Ravemontreal party.
I brought Dave The drummer a year ago, it's funny to see is name in some lists, since that party was my lowest attendance.
While you are waiting and worshiping names that never came here (i'm not saying it wouldn't be good), those international DJs list to invite are getting bigger and bigger while there's very little love for the club itself or the local scene.
