I agree. I just wonder how much of it really comes down to greed...
Surely their is good money to be made booking respected artits who genuinely are trying new things and to advance the electronic scene...
Granted, it might not be for the "kids", who are more concerend with Guetta, Deadmau5, and Skillrex(sp?), than they ever will be for Hawtin, Mills, & Klock....
but...
shouldn't it always be about the music? Isn't that why we all got into this is in the first place? Is it nieve to think that its wrong to actively NOT book people like this? Especially if a venue is supposed to be the world class establishment they like to claim to be?
When I think of the best clubs, I think of Berghain, DC-10, Fabric, Robert-Johnson, Rex Club.........all seem to do pretty well financially.
These places don't book commercial mainstream artists. They book forwarding thinking artists who are actively putting out music that seeks to forward the electronic movement as a whole. Artists like Toronto's very own James Teej or Art Department. Who, coincidently enough, have yet to headline at the top club in their own city. Seems a bit odd, no?
