Ever hear of Swedish Techno ??? ( i.e. Adam Beyer)
How about German Techno ???
How about Italian Techno?? ( i.e. Massimo C. )
American Techno is like American Cars; cheaply built and poor quality. ( with a few excoetions) |
In defense of America...we did invent Techno and House:D
As far as TTA's comment on big DJs coming here to play...well thats because America will pay their higher salaries...case closed! |

That's an interesting perspective.
But who are the 'big dj's' ??? Are they American???
no.
We are just importing music from the rest of the world without really beening a significant contributor. This adds to the massive trade defict the USA already has :p
If it were indeed growing or big why the lack of radio stations? Why the lack of super club?? Why the lack of talent??
I'd love to hear your perspective on that Andy.... |
Is Christopher Lawrence, Jeff Mills, Derrick May, Donald Glaude, Danny Tenaglia, David Morales, Deep Dish, Crystal Method, Uberzone are they small fish? I doubt it
Who cares what you import, most countries do it, if people come out to see deejays at clubs, I consider that as a scene. The rave scene has not died in the states and I doubt it ever will. Does radio stations and superclubs make a scene, look to the UK, most of the superclubs are gone and radio was never that big but the UK scene is still decent, people are still going out to see deejays. Plus you are dutch, so you have no clue about the US scene, that's the other thing. Look at Holland, you have Ferry, Armin and Tiesto who are single handly bastardizing and whoring trance to a whole new cheap ass level, so you guys can talk about talent? What decent act that has not been ASOT whored or anything like that come out of Holland lately? |

Of course. Chicago and NYC in the 80's were King musically speaking. One can no longer make that statement now though.
But the growth has moved away from America ( circa 1988) and towards other countries around the world ( i.e. UK, Germany , Netherlands, etc).
To neglect this fundemetal shift is to neglect the global growth of EDM. |

oh and you can say Holland's scene is not going to the hole? :stongue: You sir are an idiot, Chicago is still the hotbed of House, and Detroit is still huge with techno. America is stll growing, it's growing faster than Europe IMO, look at the staleness of Europe, Germany is not bringing out new acts, neither is the UK.
This brings us to the fundamental part of EDM, it's the same old boys network that still gets the major gigs. Not many people actually make it to the upper echelon of the deejay world these days. Besides Fergie and James Zabiela, you don't see many young ones doing that these days. |
