I don't even know...know what's scary? Or maybe it's sad...
I actualy added on A TON more earlier this morning...just to accidentally close the window. I later kinda wrote it again in much shorter form as a reply and I swear I hit submit reply but it's not showig up...I probably did something wrong again lol.
Basically it was me saying how I'll admit I envy Taj and some others in the scene cause they were fortunate to have parents do their thing so they could be the prime age for the club scene during it's rise and peak period...the 90s, lol. Was saying with how the scene is today and how much it struggles to survive making its very, very hard to get in and really get anywere, at least in the areas of EDM I enjoy. He and others were fortunate to enter the scene at the time when they did. I would love to be able to do the things they do...but you haven't really seen any newcomers enter the picture and survive, have you. Hell, even Godskitchen tried entering the US market and they found out how tough it is real fast.
I am a person who in the end talks a lot of shit, lol. I say all this shit about the scene, clubs, etc...but I don't book DJs, play gigs, personally deal with the politics. I do what I can to help whoever asks, but in the end what I do is nothing compared to what people like Taj, Guiv, Peter, peeps at Mixed Elements, and others do. These people are actually walking the walk. Most of these people started their events off hole-in-the-walls and stuck to it and dedicated themselves and look at where it's got them....all the while not letting their success turn them into assholes.
I envy that. They are deep into the scene that I love. A scene which I wish I had the resources, time, etc to put more into. But I don't and don't know if I'll ever be given the opportunity. Now I'm not ready....I'm one who likes to really get deep into the research and understanding of how things work and while some may think I know a lot, I am sure there's a ton more to be learned. But it's something you can't just research online or in a libary...and this is what makes it all so tough.
This post makes me sound like a girl, lol.
