| I was just flipping channels and out of nowhere, i see PVD in an interview on CNN. He basically talked about his new reflections album, but he also discussed the electronic scene in general, especially in the states. He thought that while electronic music doesn't get much radio play, he thinks that its getting better and that it'll eventually become more mainstream/respected.. |

I definitely agree with Paul on this point, in that the scene in the U.S. can only continue to grow. I think that is why he did the Central Park outdoor gig this past August. I hope there are moor outdoor mega EDM events in America and especially in NYC. No one can tell me that we can't host a tremendous outdoor dance festival. |

Well it cant really be allowed to grow in the US according to this:
The day-long event was organised by local group ROAR (Ravers Organized Against the Rave Act) and the National Dance & Music Rights Alliance and featured performances form DJs such as D:Fuse and Jr. Vasquez, alongside guest speakers.
The highly controversial 'RAVE' (Reducing Americans Vulnerability to Ecstasy) Act was passed through the US political system earlier this year attached to an unrelated child abduction bill, despite the fact that there had been no debate or public hearing in Congress on the subject.
Now, the proposed ‘Clean-up’ Act :whip: :whip: :whip: and ‘Ecstacy Awareness’ Act will threaten the very existence of dance music in the US. If passed, promoters and property owners may be liable for their patrons’ drug use, even if they try everything they can to stop it. If found guilty, violators may face up to 20 years in jail or a criminal fine of up to $500,000.
The Drug Policy Alliance, one of many groups opposed to such anti-rave legislation, spoke of how such policies affect every property owner in America, not just dance music promoters: “Because of its broad language, the proposed law could potentially subject people to twenty years in federal prison if guests smoked marijuana at their party or barbecue” a spokesman for DPA said. “The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) actually perceives dance music events as nothing more than the sale, distribution and use of drugs”, they commented.
The ‘RAVE’ Act amends the Crack House Law, which had been used in the past to prosecute promoters based on such evidence as glowsticks, massage oil, and bottled water as proof of drug use.
More worrying however, is the fact that, dance music events, clubs, parties and anything that may potentially attract young people - will struggle to exist in the US if such laws are passed. All DJmag can say is – if the DEA can’t keep drugs out of their high-security prisons, how do they expect to stop young people from experimenting with drugs by stopping them dancing? :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: |
